                                                 FAXED DOCS TAB:

      Faxed documents may be getting moved to this tab after faxing.

 A copy of some faxed documents may not be sent to the Faxed Docs Tab,

           and the Record Faxed Event at times is not getting logged.  

 

 

Dear Client,
 

 

The following problems have been recently reported after PCM version 5.5.900 updates. We are currently working on this issue and we anticipate an update to fix this will be available on Friday November 11, 2011 and the affected versions will all be updated starting on Friday night.

 

Affected PCM versions: 5.5.900 to 5.5.924

Patch Update: 5.5.925+

Problems:

 

1. After faxing a document it may be moved from its corresponding chart tab to the Faxed Docs tab. If you are looking for a document that was recently faxed and you cannot find it under its corresponding chart tab, and is not visible under the All Pages tab, please check the Faxed Docs tab, it may be there. If you find these moved documents please send an email to support@primeclinical.com, all we need is your Prime M-Account # and the patient's Medical Record number and we will move the document back to its corresponding chart tab.

 

Scenarios on how this was found to happen:

 

 Scenario One: A document was faxed unsigned, and after faxing it, the document was immediately signed, and because after faxing the Faxed Docs tab is open, this caused the document to be incorrectly saved/moved into the Faxed Docs tab.

 

 Scenario Two: The document was signed, faxed, then immediately sent to another user, again because after faxing the Faxed Docs tab is opened, the document was incorrectly saved/moved into the Faxed Docs tab, neither of these scenarios should cause this to happen.

 

There is a temporary workaround for issue #1 (until the update): After faxing the document, please click on the chart tab where the document resides (not All Pages, the actual chart tab), select the document again, and then send to user, or sign, etc. This will prevent it from getting moved to the Faxed Docs chart tab.

 

2. When the Fax Send screen comes up, if the clear button is used and the Referring button is clicked on in order to open the referring table and look up a different fax recipient, and the fax is then sent, a copy of the faxed document may NOT be sent to the Faxed Docs tab.  

 

3. During the investigation of the above issues, it was noted that in some scenarios the "Record Faxed" event in the log files is not recorded, even when the fax was sent.  

 

We thank you for taking the time to report this issue, apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience and understanding.

 

Sincerely,
