Technical Improvements

We are improving the performance of an internal service used in a data cleanup process.

New features

1. Image files can be sent via an MDM T02 care plan message

Image files of any type, e.g. png and jpeg can now be sent via a HL7 MDM T02 care plan message by setting the Data type (OBX-5.2) to ‘IMAGE’ and the Sub-data type (OBX-5.3) to an image file type e.g. ‘PNG’. The images are contained within the Action Plan section on the Plans page and can be both viewed and downloaded.

2. Audio files can be sent via an MDM T02 care plan message

Audio files of any type, e.g. mp3 and m4a can now be sent via a HL7 MDM T02 care plan message by setting the Data type (OBX-5.2) to ‘AUDIO’ and the Sub-data type (OBX-5.3) to an audio file type e.g. ‘MP3’. The audio files are contained within the Action Plan section on the Plans page and can then be downloaded.

3. Sections of care plans can be marked as only editable by professionals

This new feature allows sections of care plan templates to be designated as exclusively editable by team professionals. When such templates are utilised, sections marked as non-editable can only be modified by team professionals, including those outside the specific team to which the plan belongs. Patients, carers, and individual professionals are restricted from editing these designated sections but can continue to update the rest of the plan.

Feature updates

1. Updates to placeholder & label text for phone numbers.

We have added placeholder text in the phone number fields on both the ‘Profile' page and the ‘Invite patient’ page.

We have also updated labels on the phone number fields on the 'Invite patient’ page.

2. Unregistered patients will get an email notification when a plan is added to their record via the HL7 API

Unregistered patients will now get an email notification when a plan is added to their record or updated via the HL7 API. This behaviour already applies for plans added or updated via the PKB User Interface.

Bug fixes

1. Individual professionals can now send a message on behalf of patient to a team professional

We have resolved an issue which prevented an individual professional sending a message on behalf of a patient to a professional who are part of a team.

2. Improvements to handling of phone numbers retrieved via REST API

We have fixed an issue which prevented phone numbers being extracted via the REST API if they were not marked as primary.

3. Patients with no date of birth in their record can now complete advanced questionnaires

Previously, patients with no date of birth in their record would hit a page crash when attempting to open an advanced questionnaire request from an email notification. This is because patients have to provide their date of birth before answering the questions. Now, the patient will be shown an error message stating that they need to register before completing the questionnaire because their record has no date of birth.

New features

1. DICOM images can now be sent via an ORU R01 message

Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images can now be sent via a ORU R01 radiology report by setting the Data type (OBX-5.2) to ‘APPLICATION’ and the Sub-data type (OBX-5.3) to ‘DICOM’.

2. M4A audio files can now be sent via HL7 MDM T02 document message

M4A (MPEG-4 Audio) audio files can now be sent via HL7 MDM T02 document message. They will be displayed on the ‘Events & messages’ page and can be played directly on the page or downloaded to play on an external player.

3. Patients can now set their email notification preferences

Patients can now choose whether they want to receive email notifications about all new data added to their records or limit their notifications to time-sensitive changes only. These preferences can be managed from the ‘Profile’ page. All email notifications will include a link to manage email notification preferences. More information is available in the PKB manual.

Feature updates

1. Coordinator patient search controls

We have updated the coordinator patient search screen to only enable the action buttons at the bottom of the patient list if at least one patient has been selected.

2. Removal of symptom alarms

We have removed the alarm function from symptom monitoring. Coordinators no longer see the fields to set weighting and alarms on the symptoms page and professionals no longer have a monitoring tab.

Teams can still monitor symptoms. This feature has not changed. A team can choose which symptoms their patients should be prompted to monitor and in what order they should be displayed.

3. QRISK3 measurements

The following measurements can now be added and viewed in the Vitals section on the Measurements page, for more information please see our manual.

  • QRISK3 10 year cardiovascular disease risk score

  • QRISK3 healthy heart age

Bug fixes

1. Library upload limit set to 5GB

We have resolved an issue to allow users to upload files up to 5GB in the library section, for more details please see How do I upload a file to the library?

2. Carer invites

We have resolved an issue that prevented users with PKB’s 2FA enabled from accepting a carer invitation via an email link. Users who have PKB’s 2FA enabled can now accept the invitation from the carer invitation email link.

3. Data not showing for patients using NHS login after coordinator initiated password reset

We have resolved an issue which prevented certain patients from seeing their data when they logged in with NHS login. This issue only occurred when a password reset had been initiated by a team coordinator and the password was reset by the patient. Patients were still able to access their data by using their PKB username and password to log in.

4. Symptom tracking

We have resolved an issue which made it mandatory for coordinators to specify an order of symptoms when setting up symptom tracking. Coordinators can now set up symptom tracking without setting an order.

Technical Improvements

We are reverting to a fully manual certificate rotation process for our HL7 API. This update is in preparation for the next upcoming certificate rotation at the start of September, additional communication on this will be sent in due course. We expect no user impact from this update.

Wednesday 18th July 2024

New features

1. New Welsh manual

When a user changes their language to Welsh, the existing help links will direct the user to a new Welsh PKB manual, https://cymru.patientsknowbest.com/.

...

These measurements can be added via our HL7 API and tracked in a plan. In the next release, it will be possible to add and view these measurements in the Measurements section.

Feature updates

1. Questionnaire links now included in the response when sending a questionnaire via FHIR API

We now include a personalised questionnaire link in the ServiceRequest returned when an organisation sends a questionnaire to a patient via the $send-questionnaire-request endpoint. This is the same link that is added to the patient’s email notification. Organisations can send this link to patients using other communication methods, such as via SMS. To read more about this, see the advanced questionnaire API specification.

Bug fixes

1. Users can now edit privacy labels for data sent by partner organisations

...

The ‘Consultations’ page for professionals and coordinators is being renamed to ‘Questionnaires'. The ‘Start consultation’ button will now say ‘Send questionnaire’ and all references to ‘consultations’ in the professional and coordinator UI will now refer to ‘questionnaires’. Patients will still see a ‘Start consultation’ button in their record, as by initiating a questionnaire they are consulting their team online. You can read more about these changes and other upcoming changes in our blog post.
