Enhanced Inventory Management

  • Full Visibility into All Returns (Including Support-Created): In addition to RMAs, all kit returns — whether submitted by your team or by HRS Support — will appear in ClinicianConnect Order History, so you can see all returns in one place.

  • Smarter Kit Returns with Auto-Linked Patients: Submitting kit returns is getting easier and more reliable. When you select a patient during a return, ClinicianConnect will automatically associate the correct kit, reducing errors and extra steps.

  • Vitls Ordering in ClinicianConnect: You’ll now be able to order and manage Vitls continuous monitoring devices directly within the ClinicianConnect Order Form, alongside your other equipment—eliminating the need to switch ordering methods and centralizing your order tracking.

    • New to Vitls? The Vitls Patch is a lightweight, continuous monitoring device that patients can wear comfortably. It tracks key health metrics, including Heart Rate, SpO₂, and Temperature — giving care teams valuable insights in real time. If you're interested in learning more about how this device can enhance your programs and benefit your patients, contact your HRS Client Strategy Manager.

Clear Visibility into RMA's and All Returns

The ClinicianConnect 1.35 update enhances the HRS Inventory Management Portal by allowing care teams to track Manual Returns and RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) orders in the Order History tab. ​

  • Manual Returns: These are initiated by care teams through HRS Support for call tag pickups or emailed return labels. ​ They are displayed in the portal with details like order date, status, kit number, and tracking information linked to UPS. ​ The requester is listed as "Client via HRS Support." ​
  • RMA Orders: These are replacement orders for devices determined by HRS Support after troubleshooting. ​ They are displayed with details such as order type ("RMA"), shipped items, tracking information, and requester details. ​

Both types of orders are easily distinguishable in the Order History tab by the "Order Type" column. ​ Tracking and inventory statuses are updated automatically, and detailed information can be accessed by clicking the corresponding order number.


Both manual returns and RMAs appear on the order history page as requested by "Client via HRS Support"

 Both manual returns and RMAs appear on the order summary page listing the order type and item(s) included. 

Smart Kit Returns with Auto-Linked Patients

 The Auto-Populate Kit Number feature in ClinicianConnect 1.35 simplifies the return order process for clinicians by automatically linking patients to their assigned kits. This feature saves time, reduces errors, and provides better visibility into kit assignments during the return process. 

  • Order Form Changes: The "Kit Number" field appears only after entering the Requester’s information, Order Type, and Pickup Address. ​The system automatically loads the kit associated with the patient based on shipping and assignment history. ​If multiple kits are pending return, clinicians can select one from a dropdown menu. ​Sub-inventory information loads automatically for organizations with sub-inventories. 
  • Feature Functionality: The feature displays all kits shipped to the patient that are pending return, including complete kits, core kits, and mobile kits. ​It highlights the most recently assigned kit and allows manual entry of a kit number if the required kit is not listed.

Note: The feature works only if the Patient’s Address is selected as the Pickup Address. ​ Separate return orders are required for multiple kits, and kits hand-delivered by the clinical team are not included unless assigned.

Vitls Ordering within ClinicianConnect

 The v1.35 release introduces the Vitls Kit, our clinician-favorite solution for continuous patient monitoring that integrates seamlessly into the existing HRS platform. ​Users can now order and manage Vitls Kits directly through ClinicianConnect's Inventory Management Portal, simplifying order processing and improving patient care. ​The release enhances operational efficiency by automating patch assignment, reducing errors, and providing real-time insights into device logistics. ​ 

  • Streamlined Ordering and Inventory Management: Users can order Vitls Kits through the ClinicianConnect Order Form, just like other HRS kits. ​ The process is simplified with centralized data management, real-time inventory tracking, and automated patch assignment, reducing manual errors and improving visibility into device logistics. ​
  • Vitls Kit Integration for Continuous Monitoring: The Vitls Kit includes a lightweight monitoring patch and a Multi-App tablet with PatientConnect and Vitls applications. ​ The patch tracks vital health metrics (heart rate, SpO₂, and temperature) in real time, providing care teams with valuable insights to enhance patient monitoring and care. ​
  • Flexible Licensing and Patch Management: Vitls patches are single-use and require individual licenses, while tablets with Vitls software count as Complete Kit licenses. ​ Patches are auto-assigned to patients upon shipment, but manual assignment is available if needed. ​ Users can order up to five patches per kit, with additional patches requiring support assistance.
  
  

 Each Vitls Kit comes with a dedicated multi-app tablet with pre-installed Vitls application and 0-5 patches depending on your peripheral device order selection.

Our goal is to help you improve your clinical efficiency and productivity with ClinicianConnect. That's why we are constantly updating our platform with new features and enhancements that make your work easier and faster. Here are some of the latest improvements we have made:

  • Eligibility Transparency: Kit options will now dynamically display based on your contracted license types.

Continue reading to learn more about the new features and improvements in ClinicianConnect.

Inventory License Management

Introducing the innovative Inventory License Management feature within the Inventory Management Portal of ClinicianConnect. This tool is crafted to enhance your understanding of license usage and availability, granting you greater control over your inventory and ensuring compliance with licensing requirements.

One of the key characteristics of this enhancement is Eligibility Transparency. Kit options will now dynamically display based on your contracted license types. For example, if your organization doesn’t have a mobile license, the "Mobile Kit" tile will no longer appear. This streamlines your view and makes it easier to navigate the available options.

Another important characteristic is Real-Time License Availability. This feature allows you to track available licenses effortlessly. If licenses reach zero, you can still place orders, but they’ll be automatically marked as backordered for seamless tracking. If your license count dips below zero, the license screen displays the negative balance, clearly signaling how many kits must be returned or added before new kit orders can move forward.

Order Management Improvements

The Revamped Order Form UI offers an updated design that makes the ordering process more intuitive and user-friendly as it guides you through the configuration. For example, the Blood Pressure Monitor selection now includes a convenient dropdown for cuff size with clear size references, making it easier to select the appropriate option. 

This update also introduces Integrated Backorder Alerts, providing real-time insights into backordered items—whether tied to license availability or inventory constraints. Visibility is available at the order level via the order history page, offering a centralized view to manage delays efficiently and keep fulfillment on track.

  • New Reporting: The addition of three new reporting categories—Clinical, Alert, and Administrative—directly into the ClinicianConnect interface. Within each category, we’ve integrated the most commonly used and widely requested reports, previously available only via SharePoint download for select customers. Now, these reports are accessible to everyone, seamlessly embedded within the same platform you already rely on to manage patient care, RPM inventory, and operational insights.

    While the data and formatting remain consistent with the Excel versions, the in-platform experience provides improved filtering, sorting, and usability—making it easier than ever to find the insights you need.

Our goal is to help you improve your clinical efficiency and productivity with ClinicianConnect. That's why we are constantly updating our platform with new features and enhancements that make your work easier and faster. Here are some of the latest improvements we have made:

Continue reading to learn more about the new features and improvements in ClinicianConnect.

Dashboard-Embedded Alerts

The Smart Banner introduces a subtle, yet powerful layer of in-dashboard communication designed to keep you informed without interrupting care. Each banner is styled by urgency, appearing in different colors to signal priority: general updates may display in blue, while system alerts or time-sensitive messages appear in yellow or red. Messaging is always targeted to your organization and teams, so you won’t see irrelevant updates meant for other clients, ensuring clarity and cohesion across workflows. The most recent banner always displays first, so the most important and timely information is surfaced immediately. From there, you can scroll through previously active banners, allowing you to revisit updates that are still relevant to your workflow.  ​

Each banner is dynamically color-coded to reflect the urgency of the message.

Action-Driven Messaging

When content includes educational or informative resources such as support guides, video walkthroughs, or onboarding materials, embedded links allow you to click directly into the resource, making it easier to explore features or solve problems independently. Each link opens in a new browser tab, giving you immediate access to comprehensive details so you can dive deeper without disrupting your workflow.

Embedded hyperlinks give you instant access to in-depth resources and relevant details.

Minimal & Manageable Design

Banners are collapsible, so you can hide them after reading and re-expand them later if needed — giving you control over your interface without losing access to important content. Should a new message arrive while the banner is collapsed, it will instantly reappear so you’re always up to date and never miss essential information. Whether it’s onboarding help, release notes, or upcoming maintenance, Smart Banner keeps key info visible, actionable, and tailored to your workflow.

Our goal is to help you improve your clinical efficiency and productivity with ClinicianConnect. That's why we are constantly updating our platform with new features and enhancements that make your work easier and faster. Here are some of the latest improvements we have made:

  • UI Improvements for Patient Communications:  The communication modals now display side-by-side for simultaneous incoming calls or messages and feature updated response buttons for improved usability.
  • Patient Subgroup Notification: For patients organized into specific subgroups, incoming patient communications will now prominently feature their subgroup details, enhancing care coordination and prioritization for a more streamlined healthcare experience.
  • Ringtones for Patient Communications: Newly added and differentiated alert sounds enable clinicians to quickly identify RPM-related calls and messages for more responsive engagement.
  • Call Rollover for Care Teams: This new functionality is designed to enhance care coordination by automatically redirecting unanswered patient calls to the next available clinician, ensuring no outreach is missed.

Continue reading to learn more about the new features and improvements in ClinicianConnect.

UI Improvements for Patient Communications

The updated communication modals enhance usability by displaying side-by-side when multiple incoming calls, voice calls, or chat messages occur simultaneously, ensuring clinicians can easily manage concurrent communications. ​ The modals automatically adjust their position based on screen size for optimal visibility. ​ Additionally, the response buttons have been updated for clarity and functionality: video and voice call modals now feature "Decline Call" and "Answer Call" buttons, while chat message modals include "View Later" and "View Message" options. ​ These improvements streamline the user experience, allowing clinicians to respond more efficiently to patient communications. ​

Patient Subgroup Notification

The Patient Subgroup Notification feature displays subgroup information when a patient initiates a video call, voice call, or chat message.​ The modal shows the patient's assigned subgroup as, "Subgroup: [subgroup name]" or "Subgroup: Unassigned" if no subgroup is assigned.

Note: Subgroup notifications will only appear on the communication modal if subgroups are enabled in the Environment Settings.

subgroup

unassigned subgroup

Incoming patient communications will display either the designated subgroup name or "unassigned" if no subgroup is designated.

Ringtones for Patient Communications

The new ringtones feature provides an audible alert for incoming calls and chat messages, ensuring clinicians are promptly notified of patient communications. ​ The ringtone is active only when ClinicianConnect is in the foreground, stopping automatically once the call is answered or declined. ​ This enhancement helps clinicians stay responsive while maintaining focus on their active tasks. ​

Call Rollover for Care Teams

The Call Rollover feature ensures uninterrupted patient care by routing video calls to available clinicians when the assigned clinician is unavailable—whether they decline, don’t answer within 45 seconds, or if no clinician is assigned. This 90-second rollover phase simultaneously alerts all opted-in clinicians, giving them a chance to respond and connect with the patient. Once a clinician answers, the call is immediately routed and the incoming call modal disappears for the rest, making sure patients are always connected efficiently and effectively.

NOTE: Clinicians must opt in to participate in the rollover system.

Unread Patient Message Notifications

The Unread Message Notification system is designed to alert clinicians of any unread chat messages from patients, ensuring that critical information is promptly attended to. Every ClinicianConnect user has the ability to view, acknowledge, and respond to these messages. For added convenience, the patient list can now be sorted by this new notification field, allowing you to quickly identify and prioritize patients with pending communications. This latest enhancement works in perfect harmony with the existing direct notifications sent to the primary clinician, ensuring a seamless and efficient communication process.

Enhanced Notes Screen

Now available as a tab from the new Patient Overview Widget or existing Patient Profile interface, the new ClinicianConnect notes screen is designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical documentation. With its brand-new user interface (UI), it offers a modern and intuitive experience. The screen features color-coded patient biometrics, allowing clinicians to quickly reference vital information while writing notes. This visual aid not only improves readability but also helps in identifying patient trends and anomalies at a glance.

In addition to the visual improvements, the notes screen includes rich formatting options. This allows for a more organized presentation of clinical data, making it easier for clinicians to capture detailed patient narratives. The copy and paste functionality is a significant time-saver, enabling the transfer of information without the need for repetitive typing.

Bug Fixes

It our goal and responsibility to you that we make ClinicianConnect the easiest-to-use clinical virtual care platform available.

To help us achieve this, we've addressed a few experiential items that impacted a percentage of our users and prevented them from having the best experience possible when using ClinicianConnect. 

July 27, 2023

New Feature: Introducing Multi-Factor Authentication for ClinicianConnect 

Your information becomes even safer with the introduction of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for ClinicianConnect. MFA empowers your organization to create customized login authentication requirements with the assistance of an HRS staff member.

In addition to Multi-Factor Authentication, HRS is now providing a tailor-fitted password experience that features the industry's best password security recommendations. With this, HRS created a host of customizable options, including:  

  • How often the user must complete the MFA login (i.e., every ‘X’ hours). 
  • How long the user can stay idle before they are automatically logged out (i.e., a maximum of ‘X’ minutes). 
  • How often the user must log in before their account is automatically locked (i.e., at least once every ‘X’ days). 
  • Which characters are required for a password (i.e., at least 1 alphanumeric character).
  • How often the user must update their password (i.e., every 'X' days).

The use of MFA is optional, but HRS encourages its use to protect your and your patients’ information.

Is your organization interested in using MFA or enhancing their password security for ClinicianConnect? Contact your HRS representative for more information!  

Note: This does not impact organizations that use single sign-on (SSO) login.

 

 

New Feature: Enhanced Risk Calculation System

New Feature: Sort By “Device Type” Available On The ClinicianConnect Inventory page’s PC Mobile tab

  • To provide additional customization and filtering within the Inventory page, ClinicianConnect users can now sort their PC Mobile licenses by four prospective device types:
    • Android phone
    • Android tablet
    • iPad
    • iPhone

Improvement: “Unassigned Date” Column Added to ClinicianConnect’s Tablet Tab

  • Users will see the addition of an “Unassigned Date” column within the Tablet tab on ClinicianConnect. This new column provides clinicians with the date (MM/DD/YYYY) a tablet was unassigned from a patient, as well as the AM/PM time (HH:MM) in the clinician’s time zone.
  • Additionally, the “Assignment Date” column will be renamed to “Assigned Date” in order to unify the naming convention across both columns.

Improvement: “Reset Metrics” Option Added for ClinicianConnect and PatientConnect Mobile Users

  • Clinicians gain the ability to reset metrics within the Activity, Medication, Survey, and Weight modules - providing clinicians with the ability to have a patient submit additional readings. Previously, these modules were limited to one reading per day.
  • If a clinician resets a PatientConnect Mobile user’s Activity, Medication, Survey, or Weight modules, it results in the removal of the green “item completed” check mark. Patients can then record additional readings for Activity, Medication, and Weight modules, and a replacement reading for the Survey module.

Improvement: Updated Naming Structure from “Wound Imaging” to “Imaging” in Select ClinicianConnect Locations

  • We’re updating our language for one of our metric modules and the “Wound Imaging” module now appears as the “Imaging” module in certain areas. You will see “Imaging” when viewing the Overview, Historical Data, and Imaging Files tabs within a patient’s profile.
  • This module re-naming will provide users with clarity into the true functionality of the module and its ability to image more than just wounds. It will not impact or augment the module’s functionality in any way.

Improvement: Loading Spinner Added to the “Assign Patient to Clinician” Dropdown List in ClinicianConnect

  • Users receive enhanced clarity of the Assign Clinician modal’s “Assign Patient to Clinician” dropdown menu’s loading status with the introduction of a loading spinner.
  • ClinicianConnect users clicking on the “Assign Patient to Clinician” dropdown will see a loading icon while the clinician list populates. Once the clinician list loads and is available for the user, this loading icon will disappear.
  • Clinicians will see this loading spinner in three locations:
  • When assigning a clinician from a patient list
  • When assigning a clinician from the patient profile
  • When adding a clinician to a Zoom call

Improvement: Subgroup Visibility Limited to Assigned Clinicians Only

  • Within ClinicianConnect’s Overview tab, clinicians who are not assigned to a particular subgroup will no longer be able to click on that subgroup. If a user hovers over and attempts to click on a subgroup they are not assigned to, a circle-with-line icon will replace their cursor and the text “Filters are disabled” will appear.
  • This update refines a clinician’s visible subgroups to only those subgroups they are assigned to. Clinicians accessing the Overview tab will still see their organization’s tablet inventory.

Bug Fixes

  • With the goal of making ClinicianConnect an even better experience for all clients and clinicians, we’re addressing a handful of bugs that impact the platform’s overall friendliness.

January 13, 2021

ClinicianConnect Version 1.106 (Alps Release) provides targeted updates to PatientConnect (Tablet) and CaregiverConnect (Mobile). This release addresses one improvement to the PatientConnect’s “on hold” message for tablet users and one bug within the CaregiverConnect platform.

Additionally, you may have noticed the new naming nomenclature for our releases (in conjunction with the version number). Each of our 2022 ClinicianConnect release names will have a nature theme to them, beginning with “Alps”.

Improvement: PatientConnect Tablet Technical Support “On Hold” Messaging

  • Patients now hear an in-depth message while on hold after contacting HRS’ Technical Support Team through their tablet. The new message provides the caller with enhanced instructions and expectations when they wait to speak with an HRS Technical Support Team member.

  • Selecting a filter on the Overview tab applies that filter to the Tablet tab. Filters are structured to match column order and title.

CC 1.7 - Device Inventory Search

Improvement: Inventory Overview • “Maximum Licenses” Note

  • Users will now see their “Maximum Licenses” below their PC Mobile Active Licenses, if applicable for their organization.
  • Any organization with unlimited licenses will not see this text present.

July 27, 2021

ClinicianConnect 1.091 improves the user’s experiences with ClinicianConnect via updates to, and bug fixes for, the Alert Dashboard. New risk alert categorizations provide clinicians’ with alert prioritizations while multiple improvements to the user interface refine the presentation of patient information.

Improvements: Alert Dashboard Risk Alerts Categorizations

The Alert Dashboard’s Risk Alerts now groups risks to suit clinician workflows, including updates to improve categorization and arrangement.

  • Risk alert categorizations group patients into High Risk Alerts or Medium Risk Alerts, and account for patient Non-Adherence as well: 
    • High Risk: Patients with the most urgent attention needs, based on patient-submitted metrics
    • Medium Risk: Patients with a medium level of attention needed, based on patient-submitted metrics
    • Non-Adherence: Patients who have not submitted metrics within the timeframe defined on the risk alert. Non-Adherence can be defined as High Risk Alerts and/or Medium Risk Alerts.
  • There are two subcategories within High Risk Alerts and Medium Risk Alerts, as well as Non-Adherence Alerts: 
    • Symptoms comprise patient survey responses
    • Biometrics contain all additional metric responses
  • Combinations of the risk alert categories and subcategories create the 5 Alert Dashboard Risk Alert groupings:
    • Biometrics and Symptoms (High Risk)
    • Biometrics Only (High Risk)
    • Symptoms Only (High Risk)
    • Biometrics and/or Symptoms (Medium Risk)
    • Non-Adherence (High and Medium Risk)
  • Patient appearance in the Alert Dashboard table prioritizes the patient’s most urgent status(es). As an example, a patient with at least one High Risk Alert - and also at least one Medium Risk Alert for the same alert type that day - flags as high risk and appears under the High Risk category. The patient’s risk level-specific and group-specific alerts are present there.

PD 1.1 - Risk Alert Categories

Improvements: Alert Dashboard Icon Prioritization

A patient’s Alert Icons now only display for the specific metric(s) within the risk alert level triggered by the patient’s submitted responses. This helps users identify a patient’s risk alert information as an icon will only display if the patient has a corresponding High Risk or Medium Risk metric.

  • Biometrics and Symptoms (High Risk) only shows alert column icons that are high risk
  • Biometrics Only (High Risk) specifically shows high risk biometric icons and only shows Biometrics-specific icons
  • Symptoms Only (High Risk) specifically shows high risk symptoms icons and only shows Symptoms-specific icons

Improvements: Alert Dashboard User Interface

  • The 5 categories of Risk Alerts now include title updates and feature tool-tips. These improve users’ information discernibility and add detail.
  • When two columns are necessary to show all Risk Alerts, the three High Risk alert groupings will appear in the left column while Medium Risk and Non-adherence groupings will appear in the right column.
PD 1.2.1 - BnS High Risk PD 1.2.4 - BnS Medium Risk
PD 1.2.3 - Symp High Risk PD 1.2.5 - Non-Ad HnM Risk

 

Improvements: Alert Dashboard Column Headers, Filters, and Number of Entries

  • Renamed the dashboard’s Alert column to “Alert Time” and added the timezone set by clinicians as their timezone. This notes the time of alert as it relates to the clinician 

PD 1.3 - Alert Time

  • Improved your experience using dropdown menus and filters through specific language updates. These include:
    • Adjusted the list titles for Status(es), Subgroup(s), Clinician(s), and Device(s)
    • The removal of PC Voice from the Devices dropdown menu
    • The alphabetization of the Select Clinician(s) and Select Subgroup(s) dropdown lists
PD 1.4.1 - Status

 

 PD 1.4.2 - Subgroup

 
PD 1.4.3 - Clinicians

 

 PD 1.4.4 - Devices

 

 

  • Users no longer see the Number of Entries for each of the 5 categories of Risk Alerts color-coded and presented in the upper-left corner of each category.

PD 1.5 - Entries

Bug Fixes

  • Improvements to ClinicianConnect overall UI/UX and the alert dashboard’s functionality

June 30, 2021

ClinicianConnect® Web Portal Version 1.09 enhances your telehealth experience through the addition of multiple new features and the improvement of functionality across key areas. 

Feature introductions include advancements to the Medication Interface and the ability for users to assign Multiple Clinician Subgroups. Clinician users also see an improvement in patient profile survey operability, an adjustment of a Historical Data key term used going forward, and various bug fixes.

New Features: ClinicianConnect® Medication Interface

The ClinicianConnect® Medication Interface offers users even greater navigational capabilities in Version 1.90. These new features improve upon user experiences and how you can utilize features to create the best clinician and patient experiences possible. 

New features to the Medication Interface include:

  • The Medication Reminders Table now offers sort, search, and paginate functions. These help users find, edit, and add medication reminders to a patient’s Care Plan.
  • You can also view a list of a patient’s used and unused medication time slots as part of the Medication Reminders Table. Users automatically see six chronological Reminder Time Slots for each patient. The time of day displays for slots in-use (e.g. 8:00 AM) and “Unused” displays for available time slots.1.1-Sort-Search-Page-Med-Rem-Tbl
  • The addition of three button-based filters provides improved medication list navigation. You can now select from three categories when reviewing a patient’s medication history: Show All, Active Only and Expired Only.
    • Show All displays all active and expired medication assigned to a patient
    • Active Only displays only those medications currently assigned to a patient
    • Expired Only displays only those the medications previously assigned, but no longer active, for a patient 1.2-Act.Exp.All-Sort-Buttons
  • In order for users to more efficiently manage patient medication reminders, the ability to bulk update all medications assigned to a time slot is now available. You will receive a message prompt stating the time slot “Change will affect [#] medications in the table below.”
    • It is important to note that only a patient’s active medications can fill these six time slots. Times previously assigned to currently-expired medications are ignored. 1.3-Bulk-Change-Med-Timing

New Features: Multiple Clinician Subgroups

ClinicianConnect® now offers you the ability to assign users to multiple clinician subgroups. This impacts the appearance of specific pages and windows, and how you interact with them, including Profile Settings, Add Patient, Assign Clinician, Add a Clinician, and Edit Clinician. An explanation of each follows:

  • Profile Settings: A clinician user’s Profile Settings page now displays all subgroups the clinician is assigned to.2.1-Prof-Settings-Subgroups
  • Add Patient: If a clinician user appears in multiple subgroups, and creates a new patient profile through the Add Patient window, the user can assign the new patient to a desired subgroup that the clinician user is also assigned to. 2.2-Add-Pat-Subgroup
  • Assign Clinician: If you reassign a patient to a clinician with multiple subgroups, you can now select from that clinician’s subgroups and assign the patient to the proper subgroup via the Assign Clinician window. Screen Shot 2021-06-30 at 11.51.58 AM
  • Add a Clinician: Moderators can add clinicians and assign subgroups for the clinician through a dropdown list within the Add a Clinician window. 2.4-Add-Clinician
  • Edit Clinician: Moderators are able to add or modify clinicians’ assigned subgroups through the Edit Clinician window. 2.5-Edit-Clinician

Improvement: Removing Risk Level From Patient Profile Survey Questions

  • ClinicianConnect® users now have the ability to remove high or medium risk levels for individual survey questions on a patient profile. Previously, switching the risk level to null or blank would not save the empty value upon refreshing the page.

Improvement: Terminology

  • You’ll notice a terminology update to a Historical Data View key term in order to better reflect the status of a patient’s profile. You will now see “Pending Deactivation” in place of “Discharged” when a patient’s profile is placed into a Pending Deactivation status.

Bug Fixes

Your ClinicianConnect® experience improves through issues fixed within ClinicianConnect Version 1.90:

  • Took care of some bugs in PatientConnect Voice and ClinicianConnect
  • Minor ClinicianConnect UI/functionality improvements
  • Minor EMR functionality improvements
