New features
1. New test result view
We have created a new tabular view of test results that will appear on the landing page of the ‘Tests’ section. This week we are releasing the new view and over the next few weeks, we will be enhancing this feature with some further updates. We now default to the tab with the tabular view, called ‘Latest’. Users can still navigate to the ‘Trend’ view to see graphs. The ‘Latest’ view has a list of test results for the most recent date in the first section and all other tests are in the section below in date order. Both sections will indicate whether results are in or out of range (if the range was sent)
...
Over the next few weeks, we will be making the following updates:
Adding an ‘About test’ link beside each result to allow the patients to read further information about the test on the Lab Tests Online website.
Showing how the latest test result value has changed (increased/decreased) since the last test.
When there are two results on the same day, relabelling the most recent result from ‘Last’ to ‘Latest’
Making tweaks to the font sizes
Adding new icons and styling for the ‘in range’ & ‘out of range’ boxes
Adding the first line of textual reports to the main page if no value has been included alongside the report
If the team has applied their brand colours to hyperlinks, we will overwrite this with black for the test hyperlink to improve accessibility
Adding a link to load more tests on the tabular view. For the first release, only tests with a measurement in the last 500 measurements that were taken for a patient are shown.

4. NHS login
We have updated the NHS login feature to check whether the patient’s GP practice is in an area where NHS login can be used to access Patients Know Best when the patient tries to log in with NHS login. If the patient is not in an area where NHS login should be enabled for use with PKB, the patient will be shown an error message and asked to log in with their PKB username and password instead.

Feature updates
1. Medications and conditions
We have converted medications and conditions to FHIR structures and these are now being fetched directly from our FHIR store and shown in the User Interface. This also enables customers to send us these data types as FHIR resources in order to populate the PKB record.

Feature updates
1. Freeze record
If a patient’s record has been frozen, they are now shown a message stating ‘Access to this record is currently unavailable’ when they attempt to log in. Previously, they were shown a message stating that their record had been frozen. We have made this change following consultation with clinical teams using the Freeze Record feature. You can read more about this feature in our manual.

Feature updates
1. Symptoms screen
When a patient records the same symptom multiple times in one day, the highest severity that the patient recorded is now shown. This has been changed from the average severity, to ensure that clinicians are always aware of a patient’s most severe symptoms.

We have optimised our database retrieval mechanism for requests to our date of last data point FHIR API so that results are returned quicker.
