As described elsewhere, we recently upgraded to V8.2.2, after using V8.0.2 briefly in a ?sandbox? computer. Several bugs were apparent and I thought I would list them here. All are being reported to AC. Some are listed as ?known issues? but most are not.
Messages: One set of problems relates to how messages are displayed. Note that if you keep your inbox empty, this is less of an issue; for those of us perpetually with more than about 15 in the box, it is a bigger deal:
a. By default messages are sorted older to newer, as before, but instead of the focus being on the last, newest message at the bottom of the list, it is on the first, oldest one. (We tend to start with the most recent and work back so this is a negative change).
b. Then, if you delete the message (or forward to a staffer) instead of going to the next most recent, the focus goes back to the top of the list, the oldest.
c. Finally, sometimes after deleting or forwarding a message, the program seems to ?lose focus? and keep returning to the same place in the middle of the messages, which is useless.
Another message bug: if someone sends you a message that is not attached to a patient, you can no longer attach that message to a patient. I think this is what CharlesMS has mentioned in the shout box).
Warnings: If one chart is opened and you try to open a second one, there used to be a warning, ?Opening chart #2 will close chart #1. Do you want to do this?? That message no longer appears. Past experience shows that many partially completed notes will be lost this way.
Shortcuts: I have not checked all of the shortcuts, or even all that I frequently use. Several were missing from V8.0.2, but after I reported them, Chris Conrad at AC swiftly restored all except for one, which is ?tab-enter? which allows you to move from chart box to box in the ?enlarged text box? view.
As others find issues, I would encourage you to list them here and to report them to AC.
