Display unactioned reports in the patient record
Bp Premier version Spectra offers enhanced visibility for unactioned/outstanding results that have not been marked as given to the patient. We've included new User Preferences that, when enabled, ensure that unactioned reports are prominently shown in the Notifications section of the patient record and appear in a popup when opening and closing the patient record.
To enable the display of Unactioned reports in the patient record, go to Setup > Preferences > Clinical and tick the following user preferences:
- Display Unactioned report list in patient record
- Popup Unactioned report list when closing the patient record
See Display unactioned reports in the patient record for more information.
Enhancements to ePrescribing for Medicinal Cannabis
When ePrescribing was introduced in Bp Premier, a thorough Product check was conducted to analyse the ingredients of prescribed drugs. Where drugs with the same ingredients were identified, they were unable to be sent via eScript on the same day.
In Spectra, the same ingredient ePrescribing logic for medicinal cannabis drugs has been improved. When a provider sends an eScript for a medicinal cannabis drug that contains the same ingredient as another prescribed on the same day, Bp Premier will check the product name rather than the ingredients.
See ePrescribing for Medicinal Cannabis for more information.
Filter incoming reports based on date, by patient name, addressee, and practice location
We have added new filtering options to make it easier for you to manage the Incoming Reports screen. Now, you can filter Incoming Reports by patient name, date, addressee, and practice location.
See View Incoming Reports for more information.
Enhancements to recording Observations in Today's notes
Where Primary Observations and Multiple Observations are recorded during the same visit, they will be documented in Today's notes along with the corresponding timestamps.
See Record Primary and Multiple Observations for more information.
Enhancements for recording Blood Pressure and Pulse in the patient record
Bp Premier version Spectra offers enhanced functionality for recording Blood Pressure and Pulse in the following areas of the patient record, ensuring more accurate measurements:
- Clinical > Blood Pressure
- Observations > Add
- Today’s Notes > History & Examination > General
When recording Blood Pressure, providers can specify the arm from which the blood pressure measurement was obtained by ticking the Left or Right arm check boxes.
When recording Pulse, providers are offered the opportunity to specify the patient’s pulse rate when sitting, standing or lying down.
See Record Blood Pressure for more information.
Australian Rheumatology Association resources added to Patient Education materials
Patient Education material has been updated to include resources from the Australian Rheumatology Association. To access patient education material, go to View > Patient Education material in the patient record.
NOTE Patient education materials for the Australian Rheumatology Association will be included in a future data update.
See Patient Education material for more information.
Enhancements to Lyrebird Scribe
A new user preference, Lyrebird transcription save to visit notes position, has been added to Setup > Preferences > Clinical to allow clinicians to save Lyrebird transcribed clinical notes to the top or bottom of Today's Notes.
See Setting User Preferences for more information.
Enhancements to Accommodation statuses in Family and Social History
In the July 2024 Data Update, we introduced new options for recording Permanent, Respite, and Locum Aged Care Home Accommodation statuses within Family & Social History to support the MyMedicare General Practice in Aged Care Incentive.
In Bp Premier version Spectra, the accommodation statuses for Permanent, Respite, and Locum Aged Care Home have been extended to Health Summaries, Enhanced Primary Care documentation, and the Word Processor.
