In the H485 alternative formats we added DC Medicaid Plan of Care as one of the options. If the option is selected the H485 will print using the new District of Columbia Medicaid format.

At the request of several of our agencies we have added added a new patient activity called a “Patient Medication Sheet”. This will allow you to keep historical patient medication sheets along with applicable electronic approvals etc. The screen is very similiar to the current patient medication screen with some additional features such as the ability to transfer the medications while in the historical record screen to and from the current patient medications screen. The new historical medication sheet also has features to move medications up and down on the sheet, sort the medications and duplicate medications. This feature will be available in tonight’s update for the main office software and will be available tomorrow for the clinical software. With the coordination problems we have had in the past with patient medications between the main office and the field notebooks, we highly recommend that nurses in the field begin to use this new feature.
