Interesting post over on the Twitter Blog about issues they had with a recent update.

Read and enjoy

Once you have created your MARs and staff have done all their documentation, you’ll want to find new ways to use all that wonderful information that you have at your fingertips.

We are introducing a new flexible report generator that will look something like this:

I am sure there will be much more to show you soon!

:: Justin ::

And produce output like this:

An easy way to get reports on things like PRNs give, med follow ups, missed meds etc!

Of course if you still hanker for a straight printout, we’ll give you that too!

OK, let’s take a look at how you will set up an MAR when Therap 8.1 is released:

Basically you can set up any month’s MAR in advance (or look at old ones).  Obviously this is all based on having the correct roles assigned to you.

As usual, if you click on a screenshot, you’ll get to see it and many more in Flickr.

Having chosen the MAR you want to set up, you’ll get a screen something like this:

Here you can work on the meds and administration times for the MAR.  Of course noone will be able to document administration until the correct month comes around and the MAR has been approved.

Now let’s look at the new MAR itself:

As you can see we have changed it a little so that there is almost a mini-MAR for each med.  This not only makes it easier to see what date you are one, but allows us to display much more information about the medication.  This will be particularly useful as we move forward with integration with First Databank‘s medication database.

You’ll also notice how staff initials now show up making it easier to see at a glance who administered what.  More info on initials here.

There are also a few changed when you go in to actually document giving the med.  You’ll notice the red square for when a med was missed.  You can also document a PRN along with it’s follow up:

Next time we’ll look at some of the reports and a new take on archiving that I really like!

As you most probably know, we brought out the first Beta release of MARs in Therap 8.0.  Since then we have had loads of feedback and barrowloads of suggestions from users around the country.

Based on all of that we will be bringing our next beta version of Medication Administration Records in Therap 8.1 which we hope to be delivering to you around the end of this of this month.

Probably this biggest single change that we have made is that now each month’s MAR is it’s own entity which can be set up in advance and reviewed afterwards.  In doing this we are also creating a full set of roles so that you can control who can do what both in terms of configuring the MAR and documenting the administration of medication.

In order to make these changes work the way we want them do we have added some new features elsewhere in the system.

Now, when you go to add a medication to your Medication History, you will be able to say exactly what time that medication is supposed to be administered (useful even if you aren’t using MAR)

Also, when you give meds we are now able to display your initials (which I think we will probably use elsewhere too in the future)

Your unique initials will be defined in your user profile.

Next time I’ll show you how these come together on the new MAR.

I think that Sajjadul dropped himself in hot water by letting slip on a call yesterday that he was testing Hab Plans.  Always wanting to play with new toys and also being very excited about this I begged Sazzad for a look.

Here’s what I saw:

If you are from New York, these will make perfect sense.  If not, then take a look and see if you would find them useful.

Once again, Sazzad and his team have exceeded all expectations!

Starting on FirstPage, you’ll see that Hab Plans have their very own area (and set of roles).  The eagle-eyed amongst you may also have spotted the new stuff in the MAR box, I’ll show that off tomorrow!  As usual clicking on a screenshot will take you to my Flickr  account where you can see much more.

You can of course search for any Hab Plan that you have previously made:

As you can see, Hab Plans exist in the sames states as ISP (they will also have similar access roles).

There is of course more…

Including links to Servcies, Valued Outcomes and ISP Programs that are included in the ISP.

All of this has been based on conversations with numbers of our New York customers, for which we are vert grateful.

If you’d like to know or see more, be sure to give me a shout!

We are in the final testing stages for bringing out the Connecticut Emergency Data Form in Therap.  In fact, if you want to see it, check out one of our DEMO accounts as it is active in there.

Soon, for all providers in Connecticut, there  will be a new link at the bottom of each EDF that looks like this:

Clicking on that will open up the following form:

Take a look and let us know what you think!

When we brought out the FirstPage Menu a few weeks ago, we received more positive Feedbacks than we have for just about any feature that I can think of.  However, for a certain group of users (those not using the items listed on FirstPage menu) it was a bit of a pain having to scroll to the bottom of that list and click twice where you used to only click once.

So, today we introduced “Quick Links”.  All the joy of FirstPage Menu with none of the hassle!  Thanks to everyone who gave us suggestions so that we got here.  It’s a great example of our rapid development and the direct impact that you have on the application.

Keep giving us your input, just click the “Therap Ideas” button at the bottom of any page!

In Release 8.1 we will be combining the custom forms we’ve been experimenting with and the ISP Template Global Library. 

Yesterday i got a quick glimpse and it works something like this.

When you need a new custom form (think of things like the IPOP that need on of per individual) you request it, and we here (Therap Admin) will create the form.  We now have a lot of flexibility in doing that including bringing in pieces of your existing data:

Start with a blank page

Then start adding things:

Including things like IDF Fields

Or Medication History

Or your own ones:

Then when the form is ready it can be previewed and published:

Now (if you have the appropriate privileges) you can go and grab the form from the global library, and set it up for use at your agency:

So that your staff can work in the form much like they would an IPOP:

Pretty cool stuff!

Let me know what you think.

Over the next week or two I am going to be posting a bunch of previews of our next major release, Therap 8.1

As usual with these things we don’t have a definite release date, but it must be getting reasonably close as these will be actual screenshots rather than just mock-ups.

You can look forward to: Custom Forms (I show you these later today), enhanced MARs, new cross-provider features, some great billing enhancements, simplification and enhancement of TMS and more.

So keep your browser pointed here and let me know what you think
