• Initial general release.

Graph

• Added a graph view to the Measures view.
• Simply tap a measure name to graph it.
• The graph supports single values and ranges like BP, plus displays minimum and maximum lines if known.
• You can pinch to zoom the graph, or zoom in with a double-tap or zoom out with a two-finger tap.

Patients, Appointments & Tasks Maps

• The Patients, Appointments and Tasks lists now each include a Map button, which shows a map view with pins for all listed patients.
• Each pin annotation view includes the patient's name and address.
• The map is automatically zoomed to show all patient pins.
• The action menu (to show the location in the Maps app or copy the location) applies to the last-selected patient pin.

Tasks

• Replaced the detail disclosure button with a menu that includes Show Patient (if the task has a patient), Edit Task, Complete Task and Cancel Task.
• The latter two menu options immediately update the status of the tapped task.
• Added buttons to sort and group the tasks by due date, by patient, or by priority.
• Added a switch in Settings to include or exclude concluded tasks (i.e. ones that aren't Pending or Held).
• Added the ability to see and choose the task holder.
• The patient is now pre-populated when creating a task from the Patient Tasks variation, and can't be changed.
• The patient can't be changed for an existing task (as the server doesn't support that).
• Improved the popover to choose patients.

Patient Details

• Toggling Edit mode on and off without making any changes no longer unnecessarily saves the patient to the server.
• Tapping on non-edit rows no longer highlights them unless they can do something (e.g. tapping Email composes an email to the patient).

Patient Map

• When the location button is used, the map is zoomed to show both the current location and the patient's location.
• The title now just says "Map", rather than the address, since it typically is too long (the address is still on the pin).

Other

• Added providers to the reference data.
• The reference data is now automatically reloaded after an app update, since it may be stale.

• Some other performance and stability improvements.

Sync Performance Enhancements

• Added a Force Sync All button to the Sync Settings, to incrementally sync reference data, appointments, tasks, and all loaded patients.
• Added experimental options to the Advanced Settings page, so IH staff can try various combinations of parallel request limits, sending delays, GetMethodsDataJSON timeouts, and GetPendingRequest delays.
• Also, the Sync Options popover has been simplified to remove the Load Defaults option. Now there is just Sync to update the current appointments, tasks, and their patients. (EGO43116)

Major syncing performance improvements including automatic incremental updates

• Syncing now uses the "MobileWebServiceV3" web services.
• Now uses incremental loading of data, so instead of deleting and reloading all data, existing data remains and only changes are loaded, resulting in a much faster sync. (EGO43113)
• Now uses one web service request per patient (or two if there are result documents), instead of nine or more. And similarly, only one request for all of the reference data. Syncing should be noticeably faster, though the server and P4I still need to do the same amount of work.
• Syncing can now occur automatically, both when using the app during idle moments, and in the background. (EGO43118)
• When automatically syncing, the Sync button no longer spins, the sync status text says "Auto-Connecting" and "Auto-Updating...", and the progress bar is light gray instead of blue, to indicate that the sync wasn't user-initiated. (PlunketFB001)
• Also when automatically syncing patients, instead of changing the patient icon to the green downward arrow icon (representing downloading data), the icon is just tinted slightly. (PlunketFB001)
• The patients automatic sync schedule is adjusted when doing the appointments/tasks/incomplete automatic sync and a manual sync. (PlunketFB001)
• The frequency of the automatic updates can be set in the OnTheGo preferences.
• When data is deleted on the server, any existing copy in the app now remains, but is flagged as deleted. (EGO43114)
• Now only immediately loads patients for Appointments and Tasks that are due around the current date; others can be loaded as needed.
• Now automatically loads reference data after using the Erase Content or Erase All Content and Settings functions. (ALN42868)
• Now updates appointments and tasks when their patient is loaded elsewhere. (KON42870)
• Now automatically loads any missing patients for Care Team members.
• When doing a manual Sync, only patients in the current time window for appointments and tasks are synced.
• Select reference data is no longer reloaded when changing the POS. (PlunketFB002)
• Saving data now supports the ability to warn when a conflict occurs, and optionally overwrite the other change. (EGO43117)
• Improved the presentation of errors when not showing details in the Sync Errors list.
• Added a display of the time since the patient was last synced to the top of the Patient General view.
• Added a Sync Patient button to the bottom of the Patient General view. Tap it to incrementally bring just this patient up-to-date.
• Replaced the Reload function in the Patients list with a Sync function. Just loads incremental changes instead of all data for the patient.
• Also improved the presentation of the Sync Activity popover, to always display all lines, and display errors better.
• Optimized the loading of patients.
• Errors are now preserved when editing drafts. (VIA42993)
• Related patients from folders or care teams are now not displayed in the Patients list until they're loaded. (VIA42990)
• Significant changes to the web service API to use JSON parameters for all methods.

Enhanced for iOS 7

• Updated the UI design (fonts, icons, layout, etc) to support iOS 7's new appearance guidelines.
• Now supports the iOS 7 Dynamic Type feature, so you can use smaller or larger text (see Text Size in the General device settings).
• Added a 3D button to the maps on iOS 7, to toggle between 2D and 3D views of the maps.
• The sync status bar now displays the relative time since the last sync, instead of the absolute time, like in iOS 7 Mail.
• Several other changes for iOS 7 compatibility.
• Note: iOS 7 is now required to use the app.

And many more changes

• Patients that fall outside the current loading time window for Appointments and Tasks are now drawn with light gray icon and text, or dark gray if they have incomplete forms. (FR PLMM01)
• Added the national number (NHI etc) and next of kin information to the info bar at the top of the screen, where available. (FSLT6)
• Now includes days on an age in weeks, and weeks on an age in months. (FSLT6)
• Added a Incomplete Forms item to the general functions list, which shows incomplete forms for all patients. (FSLT7)
• The list of patients with incomplete forms is incrementally loaded as part of a manual or automatic Sync, and those patients, plus any already loaded with incomplete forms, are incrementally synced. So the Incomplete Forms list includes all incomplete forms for the current user. (ALN43132 / FR003.8)
• Deleting multiple photos from a New Encounter now works correctly. (KON41523)
• Now ensures that the General Functions navigation bar tint is cleared when returning to it via a load or save error.
• Appointments, Tasks and other data types now remain queued even if the app crashes. (ALN41524)
• Tweaked the Task filter options.
• When saving an Appointment or Task (or a New Encounter that is linked to an appointment), now doesn't reload all patients in the load window. (PlunketFB005)
• Added an Edit button to the Appointments list, which enables multiple selection of appointments and Remove appointment and Sync patient functions like in the Patients list. (PlunketFB007)
• Added a Today button to the Appointments list, to quickly scroll to today's appointments. (PlunketFB007)
• Reimplemented the age calculation to use the same logic as P4W.
• Deleting a new measure from the New Encounter view will now remove it from the Measures view. (KON43144)
• Fixed a missing Y axis in the graph if there is only one measure value. (KON43137)
• Fixed a cosmetic (but confusing) issue where the Patients list wouldn't be updated if the server responds to requests very quickly. (ALN41524)
• Photos are now scaled down to fit the OnTheGo image size limit, and stored as JPEG instead of PNG. (EGO43119)
• To be consistent with P4W, changed the Declined switch in Appointments to Cancelled, and disabled the arrive/seen controls if on. (VIA42966)
• Fixed editing an Additional Address that was saved as a draft. (KON43087)
• A Care Team Member with a Team Role of Responsible Clinician is now fixed as an Internal type. (ALN42980)
• The Dictation Notes field in the Task editor now isn't shown until there is a dictation recording. (VIA42996)
• Now dismisses the keyboard when the view is scrolled, as better behavior and to avoid a crash if the edit field is scrolled out of view. (KON42906, KON42925, KON42940)
• Improved detection of last use, so the Unlock Profile view is displayed even after running in the background. (PP-838)
• Fixed occasional crash when going back through multiple views quickly. (KON42958)
• The Mark Did Not Attend option in the Appointments list is no longer offered for Cancelled appointments, since P4W doesn't allow that. (VIA42966)
• Added extra diagnostic logging.
• Updated to the latest TestFlight SDK.
• Now requires IHServer 7.9.2.123 or later.
