Download PDF: Wolf EMR 2017.2 Release Notes

April 3, 2017

This version of Wolf EMR provides performance enhancements and delivers some key changes to improve your experience with the product.

Medication list updates

The Multum medication list was updated to reflect new, modified, and discontinued medications, as well as updated dosages up to the March 2017 drug list.

Display of combination medications

We corrected a display issue with combination medications, where the generic and name brand were displayed in a reversed order, which may have resulted in patients receiving wrong dosages.

For example, the generic and name brand dosages appeared in the reversed order:

Hydrocholorothiazide-ramipril (Altace HCT 12.5 mg - 5 mg TAB),

The dosages now appear in the correct order, along with the route and dose form, such as:

Ramipril-hydrochlorothiazide (Altace HCT 5 mg-12.5 mg oral tablet)

Display of route and dose in all medications

The full-word route and dose form now appear for all medications.

For example, for this medication, the "oral" route and "tablet" dose form appear

Ramipril-hydrochlorothiazide (Altace HCT 5 mg-12.5 mg oral tablet)

If a medication has a long name and a long form (such as a delayed release tablet), this additional information will take up more space in the medication window and may appear truncated in some other windows, such as in SMART forms.

In the example below, the medication names appear truncated in the Medications list. Click the medication to see the full name, dose, and route.

The new prescriber that TELUS Health is working on is designed with more space to allow for the display of medication names. In the example below, long medication names do not appear truncated.

Billing performance enhancements

We performed various performance enhancements to make creating and searching for bills faster, and to speed up the loading of the Billing Summary, Day Sheet,, Paid Detail, and Paid Summary reports

WorkDesk performance enhancements

Within the WorkDesk, we made improvements and resolved issues that result in faster loading of patient charts and less errors logged in log files.

New messages and new follow ups display the list of providers faster.

The vaccination form loads faster.

Closing SOAP forms when using specific exam sub-forms no longer generates an error.
