Starting today a new Vitals component and Vitals card in the overview component are available!

The Vitals tab displays available vitals data by date. The following vitals will display in the Vitals tab and overview:

• Blood Pressure
• Pulse
• Temperature
• Respiratory Rate
• Height/Length
• Weight
• BMI
• Head Circumference*
• LMP*
• Pain*

*Some vitals will only appear if available. If no data is available, there will not be a row for these measurements.

Source documents in the Zus Web Application now open in a new window, allowing users to print these documents or save them as PDFs.

We are working to add similar functionality to embedded ZAPs soon.

We are excited to announce a new Transition of Care (ToC) Lens designed to cut down on the noise from ADT data and provide a summarized, deduplicated list of emergency and inpatient hospital visits. This Lens provides data as EpisodeOfCare FHIR Resources, and will soon link to additional relevant data about a discharge such as discharge summaries, discharge medications, and more!

You can access the ToC Lens via ZusHooks or API, and it is the underlying foundation of the Zus Hospitalization UI in the Zus Web Application - a new way to visualize your patients who are in the hospital or have recently been discharged.

Patient history jobs that are managed by Zus's batch process will now run at 3 am UTC on weeknights instead of at midnight UTC. For most customers, this includes the initial Get Up To Speed patient history call that we execute when you first enroll a patient.

Starting today all users will see the Overview Tab[BETA] in the ZAP. The Overview Tab provides a single-page summary of select data types designed to make it easier to get up to speed on the most important information quickly.

The Overview Tab is in a BETA state - we are working to continuously improve the content and display of the data within the tab, and would love feedback on it. Users can provide feedback by clicking the "Share ZAP Feedback" link in the Package Information card on the Overview!

Learn more about the Overview Tab here.

Zus conducts Get Up to Speed calls for EHR and medication history when customers first enroll a patient. Going forward, Zus will batch these requests (and other intelligent refreshes where possible) to occur off hours at 12 am UTC / 7 pm eastern. We are taking this step in response to the feedback from the EHR networks about load when customers enroll large cohorts. Batching bulk requests in this manner also ensures that ad-hoc records requests from UI users do not get stuck behind large queues.

Please reach out to your customer success contact if you use our enrollment features but would still like to see initial EHR and/or medication history data populated as quickly as possible.

Beginning today, ZAP users have access to more source data about patients. In the Sources Tab users will get access to information about what types of organizations have contributed data to the patient's ZAP. This includes Name, Demographics, and Contact data.

The Sources tab is accessible in the Zus Web App as well as the embedded ZAP within EHRs and other interfaces.

Read more about the Sources Tab here.

Beginning today, we’ve updated the ZAP Medications Component to no longer display medications only administered during a hospital visit. Previously, these medications appeared in the patient’s list of medications on the Medications Tab of the ZAP:

Administered medications are still accessible in the Discharge Notes contained in the relevant hospitalization documents which you can view in the Encounters & Notes Tab.

If you have feedback about this change or other general ZAP feedback, we'd love to hear it!

🎉 We are excited to announce a series of improvements to our EHR network record locator service (RLS), which will allow us to deliver more complete records for your patients from CommonWell and Carequality. Click on this entry to read more.

• Going forward, if you supply us with multiple addresses or an address history for a patient, we will now take all of those addresses into account when querying the networks. This feature helps fill out the ZAP for patients who have received care in multiple geographies (e.g., because they've moved recently or are "snowbirds").
• We will target records requests to facilities where we know a patient has had previous encounters. This feature is particularly helpful in retrieving discharge summaries and notes for patients who have had ADT alerts.
• If you have "Most Valuable Player (MVP)" facilities or provider groups that are referral partners or where you know your patients frequently receive care, we can make sure we target them for you. Please reach out to your Zus customer success team to get that MVP list configured.
• We are also making general improvements to our core Carequality RLS to broaden its reach. Going forward, even without an MVP list configured, you should see an uplift in the number of facilities responding with data for your patients.

Look out for more investment here in the coming weeks – we have several other related efforts underway to ensure that we capture all of the data possible to serve your needs. Please don’t be shy about reporting data you believe might be missing from the ZAP so that we can improve rapidly!

The Patient List in the Zus Application will now load faster and be easier to search. Click on this entry for more details on these updates.
