Inform: HillChart Monthly Release & Updates HillChart provides monthly releases and updates. Practices can anticipate information with each release every third week of the month. This includes new features, workflows, and training documentation as well as links to training sessions. For the August 2022 release, you can expect the following: Patient FYI Flags: Patient FYI flags are set at the patient level. This means information is shared among all HillChart practice users. Note: Financial data is restricted and should not be shared. Please do not use Patient FYI Flags for patient financial information. For financial information, including billing, it is best practice to use the “Account Status,” which is specific to patient guarantors and is the correct type of flag for sharing. Account statuses are specific to your practice and are not visible across practices. Click here for detailed information. Default Standard Note Template Speed Button: HillChart has added a new feature: The standard note template speed button in the "Notes" section. This gives new providers a starting place for notes and enhances existing notes capabilities. Click here for detailed information. Medication Update: Additional medications have been added within HillChart. As a reminder, medications will now default to 100-days dispensed if selected from the “Facility Lookup” tab. Users can then resave their favorites to include the 100-day option as their default. In addition, a six-month duration option using a 'quick button' in HillChart will be available for all medications. Registration Update: HillChart users will be able to quickly access a patient-specific, encounter registration information from the Hyperspace Toolbar. Click here for more on this update.
