While giving this initiative a formal name might be new, our work to enhance Accuro’s performance has been ongoing. Below are the improvements we’ve implemented in Accuro since July 1st, 2021.
HealthMail window: Update for auto-syncing messages in the HealthMail window (where HealthMail module is enabled) to improve performance and reduce CPU usage on SQL servers for locally hosted clients.
Loading Encounter Notes with Outstanding Lab Requisitions: Update to improve performance time when loading the Encounter Notes tab when there are Outstanding Lab Requisitions for clinics with a large database.
Traffic Manager: Update to improve Traffic Manager’s performance by addressing a previously identified issue with Traffic Manager occasionally freezing when refreshed.
HealthMail reply: Update to address a previously identified issue with typing being interrupted while writing a message reply in HealthMail.
Performance at start-up: Update to increase speed of Claim retrieval to help improve Accuro’s performance at start-up.
Loading Tasks: Update to allow Tasks to load more quickly and improve Accuro’s performance.
Virtual chart filter: Performance enhancement in the Virtual Chart table to shorten the time to apply chart item filters.
Virtual chart loading: Update to improve Virtual Chart loading speed by optimizing the query that loads the indicators that display in the “I” column for Forms that are printed, faxed, etc.
Audit logs: Update to improve performance when searching in the Audit Logs (Accuro Start Menu > Users > Manage Security > Audit Logs).
Remittances (BC): Update to improve the speed of loading, processing, and deleting remittances in BC.
Tasks: Background change to allow Tasks to be “Completed” faster from the Home Section.
Unmatched Remittances (BC): Update to decrease loading time of the Unmatched Remittances tab in the Claims section.
Encounter Notes Tab: Improved speed when loading past appointments, resulting in a faster chart load from the Encounter Notes tab for patients with a lot of previous appointments.
Reviewing Documents: Improved performance when reviewing Documents from Home Section via the “Review” button or by opening the Document to preview and clicking “Review”.
Add/Manage Prescription Window: Update to improve the speed of closing the Add/Manage Prescription window without saving (i.e. using the “Cancel” button).
Configure HRM Mapping (ON): Improved performance when loading the “HRM Mapping” window (Accuro Start Menu > Configuration > Configure HRM > Configure HRM Mapping).
Note: This item is only applicable to clinics with the “ON Hospital Report Manager” module enabled.
EMR Section: To improve performance when switching tabs in the EMR Section, Allergies will be cached when a patient is loaded. Adding/Updating/Removing Allergies will also now reload only the Allergy that was modified rather than reloading the full list.
Documents Section: To improve the refresh speed of the files in the Document section when clicking the refresh button or when filing documents, Accuro will now cache and reuse the information from the previous folder scan.
Reviewing Labs: Increased speed when reviewing labs in the Home Section and Report Viewer.
