    • Review available signature options

      • The Pin Only option is no longer displayed

      • All remaining signature options function as before

Update Medications List and Add CYANOKIT Brand Name

  • What
    The medications list was updated to include additional medications and improve naming clarity for existing entries. Several new medications and forms were added, and select medications were relabeled for consistency and easier identification. Hydroxocobalamin was updated to display its common brand name as Hydroxocobalamin (CYANOKIT).

  • Why
    Keeping medication names accurate and recognizable helps reduce confusion during documentation and improves consistency with commonly used terminology. Adding new medications and refining existing labels ensures the list better reflects real-world usage and supports more accurate medical records.

  • How

    • Navigate to Medications

    • Review the updated medication list

      • Newly added medications are available for selection

Enhance New Medication Modal Dropdown Display and Hover Functionality

  • What
    The New Medication modal was enhanced to improve readability and usability when selecting medications. The modal now opens with larger dimensions, and the Medication Name dropdown displays more characters within the field. Hover tooltips were added to show full medication names with clear formatting, making longer names easier to review and select.

  • Why
    Medication names can be lengthy, and limited field space previously made them difficult to read and distinguish. These improvements reduce selection errors, improve accessibility, and create a more user-friendly experience across devices.

  • How

    • Navigate to Medications → Add New Medication

    • Review the expanded New Medication modal

      • The modal opens with increased width for improved visibility

    When adding a new medication with a long or similar name, users can clearly read the full medication title directly in the dropdown or via hover, confidently selecting the correct option without trial and error or misinterpretation.


 

Updated and Redesigned New Medication Modal

  • What
    The New Medication modal was redesigned to improve layout, responsiveness, and overall usability. The modal now fits properly within the visible screen area, supports internal scrolling when needed, and remains centered on the page. Background content is locked while the modal is open, ensuring a focused and consistent user experience.

  • Why
    The previous modal design could exceed the visible screen area on some devices, making it difficult to use and causing unintended background scrolling or zoom behavior. These updates ensure a smoother, more predictable interaction across devices and prevent visual or usability issues during medication entry.

  • How

    • Navigate to Medications → Add New Medication

    • Review the redesigned modal behavior

      • No automatic focus is applied to the Medication Name field

      • iOS devices no longer trigger auto-zoom when selecting the search field

    • Close the modal to restore normal page scrolling

  • Use Case
    When adding a new medication on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device, users can complete the form comfortably without losing context, accidental background scrolling, or disruptive zoom behavior, resulting in a cleaner and more reliable data entry experience.


 

Med Kit Groups Update

  • What
    Med Kit Groups now support alphanumeric sorting and custom ordering. Groups are displayed alphabetically by default in Setup, with the option to switch to a manually defined order. This ordering is reflected consistently on the Med Kit page.

  • Why
    As the number of Med Kit Groups grows, a predictable default order and the ability to customize display order improve organization and make it easier to locate the correct group during setup and daily use.

  • How

      • Drag and drop groups using the Position column

      • Reorder controls are enabled only in By Position mode

      • Groups display using the configured order

  • Use Case
    An administrator can rely on alphabetical ordering for quick setup or switch to a custom order that mirrors operational workflows, ensuring Med Kit Groups appear in the most logical sequence for daily use.




 

Medication Serial Numbers Displayed in Sequential Order

  • What
    Medication serial numbers are now displayed in correct sequential order within each individual medication type. A new sorting approach ensures serial numbers appear in ascending, alphanumeric sequence, regardless of associated lot numbers or expiration dates, and remains consistent across all system views.

  • Why
    Displaying serial numbers in a clear, predictable order makes it easier to review inventory, verify records, and quickly identify missing or out-of-sequence items, especially when managing large volumes of medications.

  • How

    • Navigate to Medications and view medication inventory

    • Review serial numbers within a medication record

      • Serial numbers are grouped by medication type
