Do you need more space for storing documents?

With the release of Therap 2014.1 (make sure that you read the Release Notes!) we have added a new premium feature. The document storage module which previously was only available as part of our CCHIT Certified EHR Package, now has the ability to store a total of up to 1Gb per individual and each file can be up to 10Mb.

Here are a few comments about this feature:

The 10Mb per individual limit still remains with the Certified EHR Package
Introductory pricing is available, we have some exciting plans up our sleeves for the module and as usual, early adopters will get these at a very advantageous rate
The […]

Do you have a certified Electronic Health Record? – We do!

CCHIT LTPAC Certification Logo

I’m very excited an proud to announce that Therap is now officially a certified Electronic Health Record.

This has been a long process and involved a lot of hard work, but now you are in a position to offer to the people you support a system that meets these standards:

This product has been inspected against integrated functionality, interoperability and security criteria independently developed by CCHIT’s broadly representative, expert work groups. Using CCHIT’s testing methods, this product has been found in full compliance with the criteria in effect on the date of inspection.

Looking forward to Therap 2013.0

I think that this is my favourite part of the a whole release cycle, when I first get to play with new features and modules.

We are currently planning to release Therap 2013.0 in the middle of December (hope to have an actual date fairly soon, but you know how it is with these things).

There are a bunch of cool things coming out in this release, the biggest of which are probably Multi Individual Events and the completion of our CCHIT modules, but there are are other things in billing, ISP, and suchlike that I wil try and introduce you to over the next couple of weeks.

This release will also see us taking the next step towards moving completely from FirstPage […]

A reminder about case insensitive login names and Super Admin Accounts

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 […]

Changes to user name rules in Therap

In our summer release, we hope to complete the code changes needed to meet CCHIT compliance.

One of these changes is that users names be case insensitive. Currently Therap user names are case sensitive (meaning Jbrockie and jbrockie) are two different logins.

We have talked to CCHIT to see if we could get a waiver for this requirement, but received the following response:

“Criteria SC 3.08 cannot be waived or modified. Case insensitive usernames are required to support interoperability across disparate system (including across different platforms). CCHIT’s security criteria are based on industry standards and have been subject to numerous cycles of public comments, and final approval by the Certification Commission. Any request to change the approved criteria or test steps must wait […]

Have you submitted any Care Plans yet

Having spent a couple of days in Albuquerque, I have been thinking about and talking about Care Plans quite a bit.

What makes the module really exciting for me is the idea of a high quality, moderated library of care plans.

This will only work though with your help, so dig out those care plans and start submitting them to our library.

Note: They will only show up there when we have approved them.

For instructions on submitting care plans, click here.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Don’t forget to come and discuss care plans in our Special Interest Group
