iCPRS v 1.1

A significant amount of new stuff is in iCPRS 1.1, making its way onto the App Store today, split between features for general iCPRS use and features to support beta-testing of our product CompleteNote.

General use:
1.  Add and save patient vitals
2.  Improved connection handling - The VistA server seems to time-out connections pretty quickly, so we've added in better detecting and handling

Note: The OpenVistA Demo server is on the Pacific time zone, so check your time if you are playing with adding vitals, it will complain about time being in the future!

CompleteNote beta-testing:
1.  Add and save suggested problem list updates to problem list
2.  Add and save suggested medication orders
3.  Add and save suggested lab orders
4.  Add and save suggested radiology/imaging orders
5.  Electronic signature of orders

The ability to update problem list and orders will be available for general use soon.  CompleteNote didn't need a full implementation of VistA functionality for problems and orders.  Most of the hard stuff is complete, we just need to nail down the functionality needed to support the general cases.

In-App purchase for adding/edit:  Yes, we are requiring a small In-App purchase in order to add/save patient data.  While our goal is for viewing data to always be free, adding and editing data with VistA has been a bit more complex.

I'll have some coupons that give you the adding and editing for free, first come first serve, Apple limits number of coupons we can have.  Contact me at mike@blenderhouse.com.

The next set of features are:
  • Add/Edit problem list(included with add/edit purchase)
  • View all orders(free)
  • SSH connection
  • Async RPC broker
