June 17, 2024: Intelligent Refresh for Expected Refills

We're excited to introduce a new Intelligent Refresh trigger to improve latency for prescription activity in Zus and enable better tracking of medication adherence. The “Expected Refill” trigger calculates an expected refill date for each medication fill processed in Zus (as whenPickedUp* + days supply) and will automatically schedule a follow up refresh to check for pickup ~5 days after the expected date. As a part of this change, we will be adjusting the 28 day backstop (if no other refresh activity) to 36 days to better align with standard 30 day refill cycles.

June 10, 2024: Starting Thursday June 13, Zus App users must log in daily

Zus will be updating the login session management settings for the Zus Web Application.

We are making this change to align with industry security standards.

June 7, 2024: Document Retrieval Optimization Implemented

We have updated the way in which we process patient documents. Previously, when gathering documents for a patient, we would download all of their documents (regardless of the document's age or if we had downloaded it before). We have now implemented an optimized approach (for documents associated with the CareQuality network) where we only download all of a patient's documents once. After that, any further petitions for a patient's documents will limit retrieved documents to only those created in the past year (with specific exceptions for documents with dates prior to 1970). You may see these changes result in fewer duplicates in both the Zus App and overall. If you observe anything trending in an unexpected direction during your normal analysis do not hesitate to get in contact with us.
