MCG+ CareRecord Integration
Updated the integration so that when a non-EVV service (determined via a new Bill Rate setting) for an EVV payer is scheduled, the visit is marked as ‘IsEvvServiceCode=’False’ so that the visit is accepted by MCG+ but not treated as an EVV Service.

Integration
Updated the Pharmacy integration to support medication and allergy list requests via a FHIR v4 endpoint.
A system configuration turns off the migration from v3 to v4 by default. When specific pharmacy/PBM vendors can support the v4 Endpoint, clients can request information from Netsmart on enabling the configuration. The v4 Endpoint supports pagination for handling large requests (HC-56117).

Accounting Exports
A new EVV Services with Errors export named is available from the Queries section in the Netsmart Resource Center.
This export is loaded in the query component and activated in Accounting Exports. It outputs a .csv file with service details for EVV visits that encountered errors in the past three days. This output is useful for bringing into an analysis tool such as Excel for additional analysis manipulation.

Updated the SN-Nursing Template. The updated templates are deployed to a folder on the Homecare Application Server for manual updates to the application. Agency customizations carry forward. Standard question conflict checking and reporting remain available. In addition, OASIS templates will be updated at the end of the year with new templates for OASIS-E1. The full implementation of this item requires both Homecare Server 24.2 and the installation of the corresponding Patient Assessment Template (.ast). Mobile Tablet users also require Mobile Tablet 24.2.
