Audit Deployment
Ideagen Healthcare Guardian 23 provides the ability to deploy an Audit to your organisational structure. It utilises two object types:
- Audit Inspection (#AI) This object type is used to capture individual Audits within an Organisational Unit.
- Audits Summary (#AG) This object type is used to summarise/aggregate the data from multiple organisational units and provides the ability to report at different levels within your organisational structure.
When an Audit Inspection is deployed, an Audit Summary will be deployed to all ancestor organisational units. These will be automatically linked, and data will be aggregated from the Audit Inspection objects all the way to the root organisational unit.
NOTE: If you already have Audits deployed, an Ideagen Healthcare Guardian Consultant will need to assist with updating reports to work with the automated structure.
Task Attachments
Ideagen Healthcare Guardian now supports file attachments and links on Tasks. Using an interface consistent with Questionnaires, the user can attach existing files, upload new or add links to URLs.
Patient Demographics
Ideagen Healthcare Guardian now supports retrieval of patient demographics from an Azure SQL Database and HL7.
If this feature is required, please contact your Account Manager due to the extra Infrastructure setup that may be required.
Named Anchors
You can now create links between different areas of a page in Designer using named anchors in Freeforms. You will need two Freeforms – one with the link, the other with the named anchor (the target).
Breaking Changes
No breaking changes have been made to Ideagen Healthcare Guardian since version 22.0.304 regarding features.
For On Premise customers, Ideagen Healthcare Guardian now uses features of SQL only available in 2017 onwards.
Important Changes
Sites using SSO only, will now see a splash screen with a Login button. The text on the button can include the name e.g. Azure AD, NHS Mail to help end users. This is configured by Ideagen Healthcare Guardian.
Incognito Access will in a future release have File Upload and Employee search prevented by default, but there is no forced change in this release. This release does support an Ideagen Healthcare Guardian configurable ability to:
- Prevent File attachments when opening in Incognito, but available via SSO or Logged In or the requestor is within a trusted IP range
- Prevent Employee questions when opening in Incognito, but available via SSO or Logged In or the requestor is within a trusted IP range
