2023 Update 3 Summary | User Acceptance Tests
  • eMAR - "Give" line enhancement.
    The functionality to enhance the "Give:" line in the eMAR 'Order Description' was introduced via Avatar eMAR 2022 Update 25. Avatar eMAR 2023 Update 3 provides this a registry setting to allow this functionality to be disabled.
    In addition, the following issues are resolved: 1) The enhanced "Give:" phrase might show the same 'Dose Unit' for both parts of the expression (dosage form and strength). Prior to the installation of this Update, this situation could occur if the 'Dose Unit' dictionary (Order Entry Tabled Files, Data Element# 10270) has the 'Type of Measure' extended attribute incorrectly defined. 2) Decimal-only dose quantity values might be displayed without a leading zero in the enhanced "Give:" line. 3) Dose quantity values might be calculated out to a large number of decimal positions in the enhanced "Give:" line. Such calculated values are now limited to 3 decimal positions for expressions of dose form, and to 4 decimal positions for expressions of strength or volume.

2023 Update 7 Summary | User Acceptance Tests
  • Avatar eMAR - Vital Entries
    An issue is resolved in Avatar eMAR where recording multiple administrations at the same time sometimes creates a nearly blank record in the 'SYSTEM.cw_vital_signs' table that contains only a value for the blood pressure 'Position', but does not contain 'Blood Pressure' or any other reading. This Update both prevents the issue from occurring and corrects the data created by past occurrences.
