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.

2. Swagger documentation

We have updated the Get Allergies for patient endpoint link to take users to the allergy entity page. We have also removed the 'Diagnosis.Entered' link.

3. MedMij documents

Patients in the Netherlands who have had documents added to their record via the MedMij integration can now delete these documents from their PKB record. The documents will be re-added to their records as long as the sending organisation re-sends the document when the patient clicks ‘Update my record’.

Bugs

1. Session timeout

We have resolved an issue where user actions, such as typing in a message field, were not extending the user’s session correctly, so users were being logged out after 30 minutes regardless of whether they were actively typing.

2. EMIS updates

We have resolved an issue where we were sometimes processing the latest updates received from EMIS before processing older updates. This has now been changed to ensure the latest updates are always processed last to ensure the most up-to-date version is displayed in the record.

Technical improvements

1. FHIR API - Date of last data point

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

Feature updates

1. Custom REST API - Diagnoses

Our GET Diagnoses REST API endpoint: /v2-beta/diagnoses/forPatient/{patientId}, will no longer return the severity element. This has been removed as PKB does not support the concept of severity for diagnoses.

2. Freeze record

Team professionals can now use the ‘Freeze record’ feature to freeze access to any patient’s record, regardless of their age. Previously, the feature was only available for patients who were under 18. When a record is frozen, patients cannot log into their PKB record and their carers cannot access their record. The ‘Freeze record’ feature can be used to block access where it would be unsafe for a patient to access their record. For example, during a mental health crisis or when there are safeguarding concerns.

Bugs

1. Coordinators - multiple teams

We have resolved a bug where team coordinators that are in multiple teams were to be unable to log in if they had been deactivated from one of their teams. Coordinators in multiple teams can now log in even after being deactivated by any of their teams.
