Released 25 May 2022

Summary

On Call Calendar Integration

You asked, and we listened! For teams or organizations who host their on call calendar in an external scheduling system, it can be a hassle to manage shift information in Pulsara, too.

What's changing

  • Organizations will now have the option to automatically add on call schedules hosted in other systems into Pulsara
  • When the integration is enabled, on call status will automatically be toggled in Pulsara to reflect the external schedule

Who’s impacted

  • Specialty teams who use external scheduling systems to manage their on call schedules

Why you’d use it

  • All team members will have the ability to add facility-defined labels to a patient, during or after patient creation

Successful Scan Confirmation

Our first iteration of scanning was so fast, it left many people wondering if the scan had actually worked. Wonder no more! Now, when a scan is successful, a green checkmark will appear on the screen to confirm that the information has been entered into the Pulsara channel.

What's changing

  • When scanning a driver’s license or patient wristband, a green highlight and checkmark will appear to confirm a successful scan

    Who’s impacted

    • Anyone who scans a patient’s driver’s license or wristband

    Why you’d use it

    • This improvement to the scanning experience will allow for instant visual verification that the scan was successful

    • Scanning reduces the burden of manual data entry while also increasing the accuracy and reliability of the data entered, facilitating communication and the patient registration process

    • Eliminate dual data entry by scanning patient data that can flow into an ePCR integration with Pulsara

    • Easily add information like the patient’s name and DOB by scanning the barcode on the back of their driver’s license.
