Clients Vitals

  • Added sorting function on the client vital history page.

Conflicts

  • Fixed conflicts not appearing on the aggressor’s profile.

Consent

  • Users can now add another declined-anonymous consent record to a client’s file. Note: The declined consent can only be re-applied to client records that have never accepted the explicit consent or inherited consent

  • Coordinated Access consent is now available right after client creation

Coordinated Access

  • The “Days in lifetime” column now counts shelter stays for clients that have a housing status of “transitional”.

Family

  • Added delete function to remove clients from a family.

Health Information

  • Fixed delete diet right; delete action now available for dietary requirements.

Housing History

  • Follow-ups tab now displays follow-up dates for housing loss prevention records as well.

Housing Loss Prevention

  • Fixed filter on the housing loss prevention list. Users can now filter based on status and time range.

Housing Placement

  • First scheduled follow up date now calculates based on the “Date Moved In” instead of the actual date.

  • Securing housing and moving into housing now changes the client state to “Active”

  • Users can now edit the housing secured date as well as the move in date for a housing placement

Identification

  • Added “Expiry Date” field for identifications.

Incidents

  • The attachment field is no longer available when disabled in the Service Provider settings.

Medication Dispensing

  • Fixed “Dispensed by” field; users can now select their name when dispending medication

  • Medication can now be dispensed on the day the client was booked in

PiT Count

  • Fixed response disappearing when returning to an old question when using the paging survey

  • Additional validation added to remove duplicate custom responses

  • Fixed action buttons appearing for users that do not have the appropriate rights

Reports

  • Fixed the "City (Last Known)" column in the Unique Identifier List report. Report now pulls data from the city of the current service provider or the most recent housing history record.

Users

  • Added a cloning feature in the Users module. HIFIS copies the following fields over when cloning the new user: Service Providers, Default Service Provider, Report Categories, Roles, User Rights

Various Factors

  • Fixed “content failed to load” error when trying to display a “life event record”.
