NX - Renew Due To Do's - Send Renew/Reorder Notification To
The following enhancements are included:
1) The once-a-day background process that identifies orders that are due for Renew in order to send Notifications / To Dos and to support the [R] indicator (Renew/Reorder Due) in the Order Entry Console (Orders This Episode section) is modified for improved performance.
2) The once-a-day background process that identifies orders that are due for Renew is enhanced to provide the ability to send Notifications / To Dos to the order's 'Ordering Practitioner' and/or 'Last Renew Practitioner', and/or to the client's 'Attending Practitioner'. This is accomplished via the new registry setting 'Send Renew/Reorder Notification To'. This registry setting is also used to determine which 'Practitioners' have a particular client/order in the [R] indicator.
3) The process that builds and refreshes the data for the [R] indicator when the Order Entry Console is in use is enhanced for improved performance.
4) The [R] indicator no longer relies on "Order Entry (Renewal Due)" and "Order Entry (Reorder Due)" To Dos. Consequently, it is now possible to disable the generation of those To Dos if they are not wanted, and still make use of the [R] indicator. These Notifications / To Dos are configured via the 'Notifications Setup' form.
Value Added: Adds the ability to send notifications/To Dos to the order's 'Ordering Practitioner' and/or 'Last Renew Practitioner', and/or to the client's 'Attending Practitioner'.

Discharge Medication Report - 'Frequency Code' change after eMAR administration.
The following issues are resolved and changes are made to the 'Discharge Medication Report' that is available in the Order Entry Console (Discharge Med Reconciliation section):
1) On the 'Active Medications List' portion of the report, the 'Next Due' date and time that are printed might not be as desired, if the 'Frequency' on the discharge order was changed from what the 'Frequency' had been on the original inpatient order. Due to the challenges in determining when the next dose should actually occur in such situations, the report will now print a "fill in the blank" underline in the 'Next Due' column in these situations.
2) The 'Last Given' / 'Next Due' columns do not appear on the report when configured to do so.
3) The report might sometimes print a mostly blank first page and then print details starting on the second page.
4) The help message for the registry setting 'Enable Last Dose/Next Due on OE Console Discharge Med Reconciliation report' is updated to reflect the changes included in this Update.
