Over the past few days we have been sending out SComm message to Provider Administrators about the impact of our upcoming change from case-sensitive to case in-sensitive login names (passwords and Provider Codes will remain case sensitive).  Please be sure to read these messages.

This is being done as part of our move towards CCHIT compliance.

It’s a good reminder that you no longer need to have separate Admin and User accounts.  My usual recommendation is to just keep your User account, make it a Super Admin and deactive the “-adm” one.  This way you are much less likely to miss important SComm messages.  The only exception is if you need this account to show up in TMS where currently Super Admin accounts are hidden.

As always if you have any questions, just let us know.

This morning I had the pleasure of being walked through a few of the features that you can expect to see in Therap 9.0

Currently we are targeting April 10th as a release date (as you know, this may well change)

Here’s a quick glimpse

Time Tracking is looking really good.  I am particularly excited abotu the reporting screen: (you can click on the picture to see a full size version)

If you weren’t at Fishkill and didn’t get a chance to play with this, it’s a generic, timebased data tracker for things like sleep or mood or positioning.

Next up is vital signs.  As part of our move towards CCHIT compliance, we are providing notifications if vital signs are our of range (according to CCHIT standards, these ranges will be based on age and gender).  Staff will get a warning as they enter the data and the form itself will be made high notification level (so off-site staff can be notified)

Also on the CCHIT we are adding the ability to record Advance Directives:

These will display in the IDF and Medical Information areas.

These are a couple of examples of benefits that all existing Therap users will get as we transition to CCHIT Compliance.  The fully compliant version of Therap will include additional functionality and certification as an “Approved Electronic Health Record”.  We will be announcing pricing for the CCHIT version of Therap in the future.

Much more to come…
