Family/ shared patient portal access. In the Relationships block, users can grant a patient access to their relative’s Patient Portal account. A parent who has been granted access to their child’s Patient Portal can login to their own account and toggle between their own portal and their child’s. This can also be used for a parent to be able to easily toggle between multiple children’s portal accounts.
In the Questionnaire Manager, users can designate which questionnaires should cause a nudge/ alert to show on the Patient Portal if the forms are not yet completed. That nudge/ alert shows as an exclamation mark on the Forms/ Questionnaires page of the portal. And causes the questionnaire Start button to appear larger and in red on the Questionnaires page.
Patients can set their contact preferences/ opt out under My Account Details on the Patient Portal. And users can update patients’ contact preferences under Patient Information in their chart. This information is for reference only on the clinic side. It does not affirmatively block things like appointment notification messages or other notifications from the EHR. The information can also be used when generating an email list or other patient list from the Advanced Patient Search.
The My Medications page on the Patient Portal shows the date that each medication was most recently prescribed (instead of just the expiration date).
Significant improvements to the CAPTCHA check on patient registration form and contact support form. This should help prevent spam/ bot registrations.
Patients can click a button to confirm their appointment from the appointment email or SMS. There is a new text variable that can be used in the default appointment notification or reminder(s) that will include a confirmation link in the message. When the patient clicks on the link, it will change the status of their appointment in the calendar to Confirmed.
Users can now set the default appointment status for their appointments by appointment type under Admin > Manage > Schedule Types.
Current time line added to the calendar in day-view.
Circle indicator added in the patient’s chart just below the Scheduling menu to indicate that they have an upcoming appointment. And just below the Tasks menu to indicate that they have open tasks.
In the patient’s task history, completed tasks will show the most recent at the top.
If a tag is set to show when scheduling the patient, and to show the tag notes on the patient’s chart (at the bottom of the Patient Information block), then the tag notes will also show when scheduling a patient with that tag.
Users can now print or export the patient’s schedule and task history.
Patients can now add their ACH payment information securely via the Patient Portal. This is only available with Bluefin, and the clinic must first set up an ACH billing account with Bluefin.
Option to apply discount to multiple charges/ all charges in an encounter note. There is now an option to Apply Discount when hovering over the Charges/ Payments box in an encounter note. And when checking multiple charges in the Billing history and using the Manage Checked drop down menu.

Bluefin payment transactions will now try to automatically send AVS details when processing, which may result in a lower merchant services transaction charge.
New configuration option to show the charge description (as set in the Charge List) to appear on the service receipt. To enable this, please reach out to Cerbo support.
Users can now set the expiration date for multiple estimated charges that are being added to estimated charges as part of a group charge. This is done by adding the expiration date for the topmost estimated charge in the group, and clicking the “Apply this Expiration to All” button that appears.
The last 4 digits of the credit card used to make a payment now show with that payment on the patient statement.
Clinics with multiple builds that are all using a single Stripe account can have Stripe webhooks only apply to the appropriate build.

The integrated document scanner includes additional options, including the abilities to delete a scan without saving it and to assign the document as Needs Review.

Providers with DEA numbers in multiple states now have an option to select which DEA number to send under when e-prescribing.
Improvements/ additions to the printable encounter summary in the EHR. The encounter summary now includes future orders and includes the dose and site for vaccines. It also shows not only the medications and supplements that were prescribed at the visit, but also all other active medications and supplements under a header of “Continue taking,” and a section called “Discontinue” that lists all medications or supplements that were discontinued at that visit.
When cloning an encounter note, the date-stamp at the top of the body of the note, if it exists, is updated to match the date/ time that the note was cloned. Previously, the structured date of service would update, but the date shown at the top of the note’s text area would remain as the original date.
New text variables for Chart Parts to insert (1) a list of the patient’s overdue vaccinations, (2) the patient’s email address. Text variables for Chart Parts can be found in the Add/ Edit Chart Part window by clicking on Show Available Variables.
A new configuration setting is available to suppress all headers for all Chart Part variables. So, for example, [[pt_rxs]] would just pull in the patient’s current medications, without the header CURRENT MEDICATIONS. This allows for the user to create their own headings in the way that they want within the context of their Chart Part template.
When hovering over the name of a lab in the lab order search, the hover over information now includes associated charge details, where applicable.

When signing a note, there is now an option to send the encounter summary notification email to the patients primary and secondary email addresses.

For practices that document hormone pelleting, the settings used for the first pellet added to an encounter note (site, type of anesthetic, type of bandage, insertion notes) will automatically carry forward to additional pellets added to the same encounter note.
Improvements to the printable vaccine chart.
Structured lab data that is received via a lab integration will be treated as if it is numeric (for graphing and tracking purposes) even if the lab did not send it marked as “numeric” data.
In the send to LabCorp window (accessible only for clinics that are using the LabCorp integration), users are barred from entering Notes to Lab longer than 61 characters (LabCorp’s limit).
New integrations:
The Advanced Patient Search can be used to bulk-tag matching patients. Clinic administrators (any user with Superadmin permissions) can run the Advanced Patient Search (filtered search), and then bulk-apply a tag to patients who match the selected search filters.
You can now Save your Advanced Patient Search filters to be able to quickly and easily re-run the same search in the future. This is useful, for example, where you want to regularly run a report to see Prospective patients added prior to a certain date, who have not yet scheduled any appointment, or Active Patients who have not been seen in a certain period of time, so that you can mark them as Inactive status. Or for any detailed filtered searches that you want to re-use in the future.
The Advanced Patient Search includes filters for patient contact preferences/ opt-in, and allows users to search for patients who lack certain address info.
Chart Parts can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet under Admin > Manage > Chart Parts.
Audit Prescription Actions (under the Admin menu) now includes the ability to export to CSV and highlights medications that were prescribed but not sent during a specific period of time.
