General features

Scorecards: Operating physician handling update

You can now perform analysis of multiple physicians performing procedures. Clinical Analytics scorecards track multiple physicians that operated on a patient during a single encounter and allows you to pull procedures by each operating physician. To enable this functionality, you must send individual physician data for each procedure.

New profile type for all encounters

We added the Internal Encounter- All Encounter Types profile. This profile type does not have a standard encounter filter. This enables users to see data across all available encounter types. The data for this profile type displays in the Details section of the scorecard. Note that this profile type does not include benchmarks.
