PatientCare 360® Release Notes

This page outlines platform updates and enhancements for the Contexture HIE serving Arizona and Colorado. Users can review release notes and learn about improvements available in the PatientCare 360 Portal.

July 2026

The document download feature now correctly reflects the chosen orientation. Downloads in portrait and landscape modes now have distinct layouts with proper adjustments. This update ensures exported documents match the selected format, enhancing usability and readability across various viewing and printing contexts.

The Clinical Summary in Patient Details now shows the most recent patient phone number. This provides quick access to current contact information, enhancing workflow efficiency and usability.

Patient-related browser tabs in PatientCare 360 now display the patient’s first and last name within the tab title to improve clarity and reduce the risk of patient context confusion. This applies to Patient Details and Patient Report Details (Lab, Radiology, and CCD) tabs.

Patient Details Tab: FirstName LastName – Patient Details

Patient Report Details Tab (Lab/Radiology/CCD): FirstName LastName – Patient Report Details

Users can now read PDF documents without having to download the document first, for ease in reference and saving time. PDFs can now be previewed directly in , without requiring immediate download. Users can choose to download the document if desired. This update aligns PDF options with other formats like HTML and XHTML, improving usability and consistency.

Patient document headers are now included in both downloaded and printed versions, ensuring consistency with the on-screen view. This guarantees patient info headers are consistent across formats, enhancing clarity and reliability.

May 2026

Visit History now makes it easier to see the source of CCD‑created encounters. When an encounter is generated from CCD data, the date/time is now displayed as a link that opens the originating CCD in a new tab, using the same behavior as existing CCD views. Labels have also been added to clearly indicate whether a row opens a Facesheet or a CCD, improving transparency and navigation within the Visit History tab. 

The Visit History tab now includes a toggle that lets you control which visits are displayed, helping reduce duplication and improve readability. 

Views include: 

  • Default: Displays visits created from ADT messages (Encounter Data) 
  • CCD Data (visits created from CCDs only) 
  • All (visits from both ADT and CCD sources) 

 The update streamlines access to the most relevant encounter information and preserves full visibility when needed. It also offers the flexibility for organizations to customize the default behavior to fit their data needs. 

The Procedures tab now provides a direct link to the source CCD when a procedure is created from CCD data. For CCD‑derived rows, the procedure date displays as a hyperlink that opens the corresponding CCD in a new tab, consistent with the experience in Visit History. 

Lab data handling for Ascension CCDAs has been enhanced to improve consistency and visibility across the patient record. This update refines how lab information is interpreted and displayed, ensuring abnormal flags render correctly, lab results consistently appear in the Lab Results tab, LDL values are included in trending views, and links are only shown when lab data is present. 

The readmission alert has been updated for clarity and improved user experience. The alert text now reads “Readmission (within 30 days)”, replacing the less descriptive symbol‑based wording and the red font styling has been removed to avoid implying urgency. 

The hover description has also been updated to clarify that the readmission lookback includes only inpatient visits from the past 12 months.

A label indicates the row is sourced from a CCD, making it easier to quickly see where procedure data originated while keeping non‑CCD (HL7) rows unchanged.

Transcription PDF links are now consistently available from the patient record across environments, providing more reliable access to view and download transcription documents.

The slider has been removed from the Timeline View graph to prevent confusion, as it continued to reflect all data rather than the selected date range. 

A Print option has been added to the Patient Report Details, enabling you to print lab reports directly without first exporting and downloading a PDF. This new option streamlines the workflow and aligns the experience with the existing print capabilities.

The list of reasons available when accessing Part 2 data has been updated to improve clarity and consistency. The previous options have been removed and replaced with a revised set of standardized reasons. This update removes obsolete or internal‑only reasons and provides clearer, more appropriate options when documenting access to Part 2 data. The changes are outlined below. 

The attestation language used when accessing Part 2 data has been updated for clarity and accuracy. The previous wording, “emergency exception to view sensitive data protected by federal confidentiality,” has been replaced with “Medical Emergency Access to Sensitive (Part 2) Data,” providing a clearer and more consistent description of the access purpose. 

March 2026

The Patient Details header now includes the patient’s Social Security Number (SSN). To maintain onscreen privacy, only the last four digits are displayed. Hover over the field to view the full SSN when needed.

The new Vitals tab provides a clear and consistent place to review patient vital signs parsed from HL7 v2 and CCDs.

This update ensures vitals are visible even when no visit or encounter exists, addressing gaps in the face sheet where CCD based vitals could not previously be displayed. The new tab shows only vitals that have values and follow the same display logic used for vitals in the face sheet, creating a familiar and streamlined experience while offering a more complete view of the patient’s clinical information.

The patient search experience has been updated to provide more flexible and accurate ways to locate a patient record. You can now search by:

  • MRN
  • Any two: Last Name, First Name, Date of Birth (new)

The Lab Results/Radiology and Documents tabs now default to All instead of Source Data. This update ensures you see the full set of available information immediately without needing to adjust the sorting options.

Lab Trends now includes a print option, allowing you to easily generate a printed version of lab trend data directly from the view. This enhancement supports cleaner documentation and improves workflow flexibility.

The Lab Results/Radiology section has been renamed to Results to provide a cleaner, more consistent experience across the application. This change appears in the Patient Details and face sheet.

Result details now open reliably even when a lab order has no associated result record. When available, order notes are displayed in the details view so you can still review the information. In addition, radiology views render correctly whether the diagnostic service is labeled RAD or RADIOLOGY, ensuring consistent display across historical data.

The Diagnosis section on the face sheet now includes a Date column, aligned with the Diagnoses tab to ensure both views present consistent and complete information.

The Encounter Date slider in Timeline View now reflects only the date range you select in the top left filter. Previously, the slider displayed all data regardless of the chosen timeframe. This update ensures the slider aligns with your selected range across all patient Timeline Views.

The Timeline View now includes Other as an Encounter Type for encounters that do not fall under Inpatient, Outpatient, or Emergency. This addition prevents these encounters from being placed in the Unknown category and reduces unnecessary trend lines caused by individually mapped encounter types.

In the Demographics section of face sheets, the Religion field no longer shows the code in parentheses. The display now presents only the descriptive value for a cleaner and more user-friendly view.

You can now select a custom start and end date when exporting CCDs, enabling encounter adjacent exports (e.g., within X days of an encounter) instead of being limited to a one year minimum. This gives you finer control for DAV workflows and aligns the UI capability with what’s already supported in superset.
