Product Update Description

Six new prompts are added to the 'Order Entry User Definition' and 'Order Entry User Role' forms: 1) 'Prevent Entry/Update in the OE Console (Home Medications section)' supports limiting access to view-only for the Order Entry Console (Home Medications section) in Avatar NX. 2) 'Prevent Entry/Update of Medication Reconciliation' supports limiting access to view-only for the Order Entry Console (Admission Med Reconciliation and/or Discharge Med Reconciliation sections) in Avatar NX. 3) 'Allow Edit of Another User's Administration Event' supports limiting the ability to edit another user's eMAR 'Administration Event' in Avatar eMAR NX (if the user / user role has the ability to edit eMAR 'Administration Events' at all). Upon installation of this Update, all 'Order Entry Users' and 'Order Entry User Roles' that are already defined with 'Allowed to Edit an eMAR Administration Event' set to "Yes" will initially have this new prompt also set to "Yes", in order to preserve preexisting behavior. 4) 'Allow Void of Another User's Administration Event' supports limiting the ability to void another user's eMAR 'Administration Event' in Avatar eMAR NX (if the user / user role has the ability to void eMAR 'Administration Events' at all). Upon installation of this Update, all 'Order Entry Users' and 'Order Entry User Roles' that are already defined with 'Allowed to Void an eMAR Administration Event' set to "Yes" will initially have this new prompt also set to "Yes", in order to preserve preexisting behavior. 5) 'Allowed to Edit Administration Times' supports limiting the ability of selected users / user roles to use the 'Edit Hours of Administration' feature in Avatar eMAR NX. Note that this setting is honored only if the registry setting 'Allow Edit Hours of Administration' is set to "Y". The help text for this prompt provides further details. 6) 'Allowed to Reschedule' supports controlling the ability of selected users / user roles to use the 'Reschedule' feature in Avatar eMAR NX. Note that this setting can be used to limit use of the 'Reschedule' feature more than is indicated by the registry setting 'Reschedule Feature Available', but cannot be used to grant broader use of the 'Reschedule' feature than is indicted by that registry setting. The help text for this prompt provides further details. Note: An Avatar NX Release is required for full functionality related to all of these new prompts. Items 1 and 2 are supported in the Order Entry Console only in Avatar NX. Items 3 through 6 are supported only in Avatar eMAR NX, not in the original Avatar eMAR. Additionally, Avatar OE is enhanced to support the ability to select "Black" as a font color for 'eMAR Alerts'. This can be done via an extended attribute ('eMAR Alerts - Font Color', data element #10368) off of the 'eMAR Alerts' dictionary ('Order Entry Tabled Files', data element #10367).

Required Updates

Product Update Description

In the Order Entry Console (Discharge Med Reconciliation section), an issue is resolved where 'Continue' orders in the Scratchpad might be missing certain fields in the 'OrderEntry.med_rec_dis_scr_pad' table, including the 'med_name' and 'med_full_description' fields. This results in the medication names being missing for those medications on the Discharge Med Reconciliation report. Note that this issue occurred only when using myAvatar NX, and that the cause of this issue was addressed via Avatar OE 2022 Update 91 and a myAvatar NX Release. This Update repairs the missing data, to the extent possible.
