Stay up to date with the newest updates and improvements at Particle Health.

Week of April 22, 2024

:rocket: What's New

  • Several enhancements to our Patient Onboarding product!
    • Added filtering to the Documents page, aligning functionality with other pages.
    • Show or hide encounters with incomplete records. By default, we will not show a record if any two of the following data elements are missing: start date, facility name or facility address, and clinical notes. But, if there are only notes available, Particle will (by default) display that record.
    • Show or hide labs with incomplete records. By default, Particle will not show a record if any of the following data elements are missing: name, value or date, or if there are only OID values in the value field.
    • Search for data by using ‘from’ → ‘to’ date filters. Users now have more flexibility to find the data they are looking for.
    • Search is enabled for ‘Conditions’ on the ‘Patient Overview’ page.
    • Allergies data has been moved from the ‘Patient Overview’ page to its own ‘Allergies’ page.
    • Ability to print data from the CCDA viewer on the ‘Documents’ page. Users can expand/collapse data in the viewer and reorder the displayed data, choosing what they want to view (or, print) and how they want to display it.

:bug: Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the date sort was not working properly on the Documents page in Patient History UI. We were incorrectly treating the ‘Date’ as a string field and not a date.

:hourglass:Coming Soon

  • Data normalization that will enrich clinical data. Normalization will pull disparate codes and descriptive text (for medication, lab, procedure, problem domains) into a commonly understood vocabulary.
