Family History now has the ability to focus only upon the immediate family. Clinics that wish to collect specific history on distant family members should increase the level of detail for family history to level 7.
Features added are "Refill Prompts" and "Specialty Filters".
Refill prompts are a special Favorite that sets Instant Medical History to ask patients if they have any prescriptions to be refilled. This elicits the necessary refills in advance of the visit documentation.
Specialty Filters allow users to filter the Table of Contents. Using the Tools » Options » Complaints box, the Limit Complaints by Specialty box can be checked. Then Select Specialty and check the applicable boxes. Finally, the first time the Screenings menu is started, please check the Limit Complaints by Specialty box to apply the filters. This will remove inappropriate conditions from the table of contents.
