Pulsara HQ Sorting: New Patients Appear At Top

After some great customer feedback, we discovered that sorting patients by ETA in Pulsara HQ didn’t always work for providers trying to monitor and keep track of new patients. We added a new default sorting option to Pulsara HQ that sorts patients by creation time, which means that new patients always appear at the top of the list. 

What's changing

  • Pulsara HQ now defaults to a “Newest” sorting filter for viewing patients
  • When this sorting option is selected, new patients appear at the top of the screen

What’s not changing 

  • ETA and Type sorting options are still available

Prompt to Set Trauma Level

We heard from many of our customers that when a new Trauma patient channel is activated, having the Trauma Level selected is an essential part of alerting the right teams at the right time, and should be required. At the same time, other customers have asked to keep the ability to start a Trauma case without selecting the Trauma Level. We’ve come up with a solution to fit both workflows!

    What's changing

    • When activating a Trauma case, providers who hit “Activate” without setting a Trauma Level will now see a prompt that says “Trauma Level hasn’t been set” 
    • The popup includes the option to “Set Trauma Level,” which automatically redirects to the appropriate screen, and “Activate Without Trauma Level,” which dismisses the prompt and activates the patient
    • As part of this change, the ability to edit Trauma Level for active patient channels was added to HQ
     

    Who’s impacted

    • Anyone activating a Trauma patient channel

    Why you’d use it

    • Ensure Trauma Level is set as soon as possible to ensure the right team members are alerted for improved patient outcomes

    Case Type Icon Removal from HQ

    As we look to our future plans to add more features to HQ, we are making some visual tweaks to our design. In order to create a cleaner, slicker look and make room for some coming enhancements, we have removed the case type icons from Pulsara HQ. 

    What’s changing

    • To make our design more scalable, case type icons have been removed from Pulsara HQ
    • Patient type is still visible as a text label

    Who’s impacted

    • Anyone who uses Pulsara HQ
