My ePCR v4.0.1: Elevating Healthcare Software with Enhanced Features and Improved Functionality

The latest update to My ePCR, version 4.0.1, is now live and packed with a suite of new features designed to enhance user experience, streamline workflows, and support healthcare professionals in delivering optimal patient care. This update is a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement in response to the evolving needs of the healthcare sector.

This comprehensive update includes significant enhancements such as a body map, capacity assessment tools, and improved observation features. Let’s explore these exciting new functionalities that will enhance the My ePCR experience for all users.

Added Body Map

One of the standout features in this update is the newly introduced body map. This allows users to visually represent injuries and medical conditions on a patient’s body.

For example, when a patient presents with a laceration to the arm, health professionals can accurately mark the injury on the body map, providing better context in their reports. This not only improves documentation accuracy but also enhances communication among healthcare teams, reducing the chances of misunderstanding during patient transitions.

Capacity Assessment Tool and Notes Section

Understanding patient capacity is vital, especially in emergencies. In version 4.0.1, we’ve introduced a capacity assessment tool with a dedicated notes section.

This tool empowers users to evaluate patients more thoroughly, documenting findings in real time. This feature ensures that critical information is easily conveyed to other healthcare professionals during transfers.

'Set' Buttons for All Incident Times

Timing is crucial in emergency care. To enhance precision, we’ve incorporated 'Set' buttons for all incident times within the app.

Users can now quickly establish specific times within 2 clicks, leading to more accurate incident reports.

Automatic NEWS2 Score Calculation

The integration of an automatic NEWS2 score calculation is a game-changing feature in My ePCR v4.0.1.

This enhancement minimizes human error and enables healthcare professionals to promptly evaluate the severity of a patient’s condition. Quick and accurate assessments are critical.

Enhanced Observations Page

Completing the Observations page is simpler with the new 'On Oxygen' and 'Is Hypercapnic' checkboxes.

These additions allow for clear documentation of patient information. For instance, if a patient is receiving supplemental oxygen, this detail can be added instantaneously, ensuring that the essential data is available during evaluations.

Common ECG Rhythms Dropdown

To streamline the documentation process, the application now includes a dropdown menu for common ECG rhythms.

This feature aids healthcare practitioners in classifying ECG findings without searching for information, enhancing efficiency.

Clear Specifications for Signatures

Version 4.0.1 now includes precise specifications for who is responsible for signing which sections on the report.

This clarity reduces confusion and ensures compliance with regulatory standards, improving documentation quality and accountability.

Customizable Worsening Advice

The flexibility of My ePCR is further enhanced with customisable worsening advice which can be set by an admin from the My Operations Dashboard.

You may have to log out of the app and log back in, for any customised changes to be reflected.

Incident Number in PDF Footers

All generated PDFs from incidents now feature the incident number in the footer.

This simple addition enhances organisation and eases reference for both electronic and printed documents. In busy healthcare environments, clear documentation management can facilitate quicker access to important records.

Admin User Functionality Enhancements

Administrator users now have the option to export PDFs directly after submission.

This improvement saves time and supports real-time documentation and management of patient records.

Submission Confirmation Box

To reduce errors and reinforce accuracy, My ePCR v4.0.1 introduces a confirmation box during record submission.

This extra verification step helps ensure that data entry is correct before it's added to the permanent record, supporting high-quality documentation.

Resolution of Bugs and Other Improvements

Beyond new features, this latest update addresses multiple bugs, resolving issues with specific characters that displayed incorrectly on PDFs.

These general bug fixes lead to a smoother, more reliable user experience, which is crucial for effective patient care documentation.
