Isoprime Corporation NeoData NICU Patient Data System Version 5 Update Notes

Important Notes

Version 5 of NeoData has been upgraded to use Version 3.5 SP1 of the Microsoft .NET Framework. This is a major consideration for those considering an upgrade to this new NeoData version since it will not operate with older versions of the .NET Framework. For more information and to download Version 3.5 of the .NET Framework, visit the Microsoft site at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=96339.

There is no standalone program or process to move from Version 4 to Version 5 of NeoData. The update program, ND5UPDATE.EXE, will upgrade from any build of Version 4 or Version 5 to the most current build of Version 5. For instructions on upgrading, refer to Page 6 of the NeoData Technical Guide at http://www.isoprime.com/neodata/documents/nd5techinfo.pdf.

In Version 5 of NeoData users can now…

1) display any document or file, using the current protocols capability, that can be displayed by Microsoft Internet Explorer. These can include PDF files, web sites, or any other intranet or internet-based document.

2) sort the current patient list by clicking on the column headers (admit date, DOB, etc.)

3) include the screening studies listed on the Tracking form in the Weekly Summary report.

4) transfer a result from the drip calculator to the new IV fluids section.

5) enter abdominal circumference in daily measurements.

6) click a button to automatically enter a "calc" weight on fluids screen based on birth weight or current weigh (whichever is greater).

7) display the growth chart from the fluids page without having to go through the usual route.

8) display weights in pounds and ounces on the patient information ribbon at the bottom of the screen.

9) test the connection on the SQL Server settings screen.

10) display the AttendingMD on electronic documents for clinic visits.

11) allow authorized users to reset other user's passwords without giving them privileges to change other administrative options.

12) include the latest respiratory support in the Discharge Resp Support field and the latest feedings in the Discharge Feedings field via the extract function on the discharge form.

13) allow the attending to "lock" the attending addendum by checking a box below the addendum which can only be unlocked by that Attending MD (or by a system administrator).

14) be alerted when there are controls (buttons, textboxes, etc) that are overlapping on a particular screen. Overlapping controls can be caused by user customization of screens or by new fields added by Isoprime that overlap user-added fields.

15) select a time range that is less than seven days on the Weekly Billing Summary report.

The optional HL7 Interface Module is available as an add-on purchase from Isoprime. This interface will allow receipt of admission and certain labs from other systems via HL7 messages and also supports the transmission of note text (admit, progress, discharge, etc.) to other systems via HL7. This new interface module requires Version 5 of NeoData.
