Assessments > Patient Fields only copy on create

In prior versions would copy patient fields from the patient record when a draft assessment was continued. This meant that performing an assessment, someone changes their name, a subsequent edit would pick up the change.

As of 6.84, Assessments will only copy the patient fields the first time an assessment is edited, not when continued from a draft.  If your assessments require the patient data to refresh when continuing a draft assessment, we recommend adding a Before Edit trigger script to your assessment.

Export/Print Patient Records >  Measurements and Referrals

Measurements and Referrals are now included in the Export Patient Record
