A Forms version of the Draft Notes Not Finalized Dashboard is now available

The Draft Forms dashboards lets you view all draft forms.  You can use the dashboard to identify incomplete forms for discharged clients.  You can also filter by Billing Friendly to identify draft forms that, once completed, will be sent to NextStep Billing.
In Lab Results, the default setting will be to view the latest results

Main Menu > Treatment Planning > Lab Results

The Lab Results page now only shows the latest result for the selected order.  Newer results contain values from all prior Partial results.  If you need to see all past partial results, you can click on the All radio button and click the Search button.


When ordering Labs for a client with only one diagnosis, choose that one by default

Main Menu > Client Selection Panel > Select a Client > Click “Orders”


When entering Lab Orders for a client, if the client has only one diagnosis, show it by default.


Issues Resolved:

Release 11.14.0

Resolved issue where users could not save the setting of the Hide Reference Prompt When Printing checkbox when setting up field references.

Main Menu > Admin Tools > Form Setup > Select a Form > Add New Field > Choose Type “Field Reference ONLY”

In the Form Builder there was an issue where, in some circumstances, the value of Hide Reference Prompt When Printing would not save. 



To address this issue, and make the user interface more consistent, we have made the following changes.

  • The Hide Reference Prompt When Printing option was replaced with Print Reference Prompt. 

  • The new Print Reference Prompt can be turned ON when you want the prompt to show when printing.

  • For existing forms where Hide Reference Prompt When Printing had been set ON, we set the new Print Reference Prompt option to OFF so that behavior would be consistent with how it was when the form was saved originally.


Reminders List performance issue related to unlinked reminders has been resolved

Main Menu > Reminders

In the past, when Problems have been classified as Referred, unlinked reminders could build up in a user’s Reminders List causing difficulty getting the list to open.  This has been resolved.
