INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
Licencing Upgrades
Licencing upgrades have been implemented to prevent users logging in at sites they are not authorised to.
- Users can be set up to belong to multiple organisations if applicable and will be asked on logon which organisation she/he is logging on to.
- On login users will be "locked" to the site they have logged into. This will prevent breaches of privacy by users who have left a clinic but are still using the same logon and prevent the sharing of logins outside designated clinics.
Linking CAT4 to Topbar
Topbar is Pen CS' decision support tool for General Practice which is currently compatible with MD3 and BestPractice. Topbar implements the same Cleansing rules and algorithms as Cleansing CAT at the point of care and allows clinicians to improve patient data quality while the patient is in the practice. Topbar can now be linked to CAT4 for the purpose of providing reporting on Topbar activity and removing patients from lists where the clinic has reviewed patients and deemed there is no further action.
BP Database Browser Password Checker
A BP Database Browser Password checker has been added to the BP Preference screen
