1.7 on the iPad Release Notes
These Release Notes are for FH Medic 1.7 on the iPad, and provide a listing of the defects resolved and enhancements implemented during this release.
On the Patient > Page 1 screen, under Demographic, the Driver's License and State fields now recognize information from Illinois and Ohio.
On the Vitals > Page 1 screen, the value for RTS is now calculated for you, based on the values in GCS, Heart rate and Systolic BP.
On the Outcome screen, under Details, you can use the new Emergency Dept. Disposition and Hospital Disposition fields to indicate where a patient went from the emergency room and the hospital.
On the Patient > Page 2, the Primary Physician section has been added, so that you can identify the patient's primary care physician in the new Physician First Name and Physician Last Name fields.
On the Scene > Page 2 screen, required fields did not display as red, and should have.
On the Times/NFIRS screen, under Times, when you touched a time field and the number keypad appears, you could not place your cursor in the field for editing the date and time. If you used the numbers in the keypad to change the date and time, the updated date and time was not saved as expected.
When you touch the Crew button on the screen listing all the incidents, or the crew icon in the upper right corner of the screens for an incident currently being edited, the Crew screen appears. If you touched Select Shift at the bottom of this screen, chose a shift, touched Done in the upper right corner of the screen, and then returned to the Crew screen, the shift you selected had not been saved in the field.
On the Incidents screen, if you selected an incident and touched Copy Incident to New, the patient's social security number information did not copy with the rest of the incident data.
On the Vitals > Page 2 screen, the Pulse Rhythm, GCS Qualifier, and Level of Responsiveness fields now display a menu of options instead of a numerical key pad.
On the Treatments screen, you can touch Medication Administration and use the dialog box that appears to specify information about the medication. If you left any of the fields blank in the dialog box and touched Save Treatment, then later accessed the Narrative > Auto Narrative tab, commas (,) and/or colons (:) appeared in the narrative text where the information for the blank fields would have been displayed, but without a value in front of the comma or colon.
On the Narrative > Medic Narrative screen, if you touch Copy Auto Narrative, the narrative text on the Auto Narrative screen copies to the Medic Narrative screen. If you then left the Medic Narrative screen and then returned, the text copied to the Medic Narrative had not saved as expected.
On the Incidents screen, when you touch View PCR, the Patient Care Report screen appears, detailing the data entered for the patient. If you then touched the print icon and printed the patient care report (PCR), the following items were not included in the PCR.
- Assessments made.
- Treatments administered.
- Protocols viewed during the incident.
These items are all now included in the PCR, and a number of other small formatting and labeling issues have also been corrected. A PCR printed from the iPad now contains the same data as a PCR printed from the FH Medic administration site.
If you printed a PCR from the FH Medic administration site, the destination information did not appear in the output.
If you integrated FH Medic with a CAD system, when the prompt appeared from the FH Medic CAD import process and you to an option to accept, merge, or ignore the incident, the prompt continued to reappear.
On the Protocols screen, the list of protocols did not appear as expected.
On the Patient > Page 1 screen, when you touch Lookup Patient, a screen for searching for a patient appears. If you used this screen to find and select a patient, when you later validated the incident, a validation error appeared saying that the date of birth is required, even though the date of birth was listed on the Page 1 screen.
When you touched the following fields, the menus that appeared did not display lookup choices as expected.
- On the Assessments > Page 2 screen, under Neurological, all the fields
- On the History screen, the Musculoskeletal field
- On the OPQRST screen, the Duration of Chief Complaint, Secondary Complaint Duration Units, and CC Anatomic Location field
For the following fields, the field did not display red text to indicate that data was required, as expected.
- On the History screen, the Alcohol/Drug use Indicator field
- On the Assessment > Page 1 screen, the Heart field
On the Treatments screen, when you touched a treatment button, then the Performed by field in the dialog box that appeared, not all the crew members on the call were listed as choices.
On the FH Medic administration web site, you can specify whether or not the signature of a secondary medic is required on patient care records.
When it was required, on the iPad, on the Signature screen, the Secondary Medic button did not have red label text to indicate that it was required.
On the Diagram screen, the model of the human body did not display an adult body when the patient's age was over 13.
On any of the Narrative screens, the text area did not shift to stay above the keyboard, and text that was being entered was obscured.
If you opened a patient care record (PCR), FH Medic closed unexpectedly.
Some of the incidents that were marked for review in the quality assurance (QA) / quality improvement (QI) process on the FH Medic administration site did not appear in FH Medic on the iPad, on the Incidents screen.
On the Incidents screen, incidents marked as completed remained displayed in the list for 10 days, instead of for 3 days as expected.
Text entered on the Narrative > Medic Narrative screen was lost in incidents that were marked for review in the QA/QI process on the FH Medic administration site.
On the FH Medic administration site, if you had indicated that a signature was required when a patient refused treatment or transport, in FH Medic on the iPad, on the Signature screen, the corresponding Patient Refused Transport and Patient Refused Treatment buttons did not display the red label text to indicate that the signature was required.
On the Vitals screen, if you deleted a set of vitals data, then created a PCR to print, the deleted vitals still appeared in the PCR. On the Signatures screen, if you cleared a signature, then created a PCR to print, the "cleared" signature still appeared on the PCR.
The deleted vitals data and cleared signature also still appeared on the FH Medic administration site.
On the Signatures screen, if a patient was not able to sign the PCR, the reason the patient could not sign did not export when you ran the billing export feature on the FH Medic administration site.
On the Protocols screen, if you selected a protocol that had an ampersand (&) in its name, FH Medic closed unexpectedly.
Not all photographs taken in conjunction with an incident uploaded to the FH Medic administration site as expected.
On the Assessments screen, the Page 2 tab displayed NEMSIS 3 fields, and FH Medic currently supports NEMSIS 2. The Page 2 tab has been removed for the time being.
The fields there were NEMSIS 3 fields, and shouldn't have been in there anyway. There were only 3 fields there.
On the Times/NFIRS screen, the keypad entry for dates and times was not able to easily edit the date and time entry. This feature has been improved, and you can now place the cursor in the date or time and use the keyboard to make specific edits.
On the FH Medic administration site, if a hospital was added that contained an apostrophe (') in the name (example: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital), the hospital was not listed as a choice in FH Medic on the iPad, on the Outcomes screen, when you touched the Destination field.
