New Look-up Table Values

I noticed when looking through Look-up Tables in my recent version of HIFIS (I'm on 60.4) that there's a whole bunch of new Look-up Table Values that previously did not exist in HIFIS, and when they were added (perhaps in 60?), they did not automatically get subscribed to any service providers. They might be interesting to check out.

There's new values in the following tables:

  • Activities (Services) (for example, Hoarding Assistance, Rent Subsidy)

  • At Risk Status (for example, Hidden Homelessness, Crisis Sheltered)

  • Country (for examle, Aruba, Kiribati, Montenegro)

  • Document Types (for example Last Pay Slip, Proof of Identity, Last Notice of Assessment)

  • Employer (for example, Public Servant, Customer Service, Agriculture)

  • Family Relationship (for example, Son-in-law, Professional Relationship)

  • Identification (for example, Provincial Photo [ID], Hospital Card)

  • Income (for example, Continued Care and Support for Youth, Other Canada Pension Plan Benefits)

  • Language (for example, Bavarian, Nepali, Turkish)

  • Life Events (for example, Engaged in Volunteer Work, Experienced Positive Changes in Social Participation)

  • People Role (for example, Maintenance Contractor, Caregiver)

  • Service Provider Type (for example, Recovery & Reintegration, Food Services)

  • Services Offered (for example, Holiday Event, Youth Programs & Services)

Updating to 60.4 is slow

I just updated my database to 60.4 and it took ages. Over 17 minutes for a database with only 14 clients. I noticed in the log files that it was because the script is re-running the determine chronicity status, which it probably doesn't need to do.

HIFIS 4.0.60.4 is out

New version of HIFIS 4.0.60.4 is out and the release notes are saying big changes related to activity and inactivity. Here's the summary:

  • Inactivity Threshold is now mandated/locked to 90 days and this cannot be modified

  • Date of activity is based on service date, not date it was entered

  • Clients remain active every single day that a Case file or Housing Placement record are open

  • Appointments, consent, and turnaways now count as activity
