Sorry folks but I just can’t help myself. For going on 20 years I have a tradition where I pick one person to go out of my way to help with a need or just a simple unexpected gift. I hope after reading our offerings for this release some of you folks in the community will appreciate the effort that goes into providing this project and decide to start a tradition of helping, as one example, a physician that wants to open a practice in an under served community or small clinic. By donating you can. Plus we still need help so we can meet the deadline for a February release that will continue our ONC certification effort. Certification is becoming more important every year and I can’t think of a better time to tug on heart strings. 🙂 A shameless post I’ll grant you but I do want to wish all of you and your loved ones a fantastic and happy holiday season.

Thank you very much for this much anticipated release! Just pulled it down from Docker today, and restarted my AWS install without any dramas. There is a change that occurs in my Encounters: it adds a Dispensed Medications table under each encounter, which I haven’t seen before, and can’t see myself using. Is this a new feature, or is there a way to easily disable this? ---

Yes it is new and nope author didn’t add a Config option. I am however looking to expand the feature to include all encounter attached prescription rendered with a badge indicating script origin. I’ll add an option then and include hopefully if we get to the certification release. ---
