Changes to the Investigations Module in Medical Director
HCN has made a number of changes in the new 3.14 version of Medical Director. One of the immediate things you will notice is that Pathology Management or “Investigations” as it is often referred too is no more. This has been updated and renamed “Correspondence Management”. HCN has finally implemented one of the more asked for features – the ability to scan documents and put them through the standard recall process.
The newly name Correspondence Management section retains the existing features from the old Investigations – your pathology results will appear here as normal, as will any letters, documents or discharge summaries sent via MD Exchange. However new to this version, scanned documents/letters/results can now be setup to show in the list.
The interface to the Correspondence Management section has also been refreshed and looks quite different. It also has alot more features built in to help you with managing results.
Rather than re-invent the wheel i’ve attached a power point presentation made by Katrina Otto from Train IT Medical. The presentation gives you an overview of the new features and how to use them. It’s well worth the read.
