Improved logo handling for signed clinical notes

Previously, a clinical note with the #practiceletterhead macro may not have displayed the expected logo if the image was updated or removed after a note was signed.

Now, the logo image selected at the time a note is signed is locked in as part of the note. This means the logo will display consistently when the note is printed, faxed, or shared via Direct Message, even if the logo is changed later.

This ensures that signed notes retain their original appearance – supporting documentation integrity, compliance, and consistency when notes are shared externally.

NOTE: This update only applies to clinical notes signed after the release. Notes signed before this release will not be impacted by this change.

How it works

Once a note is signed, the logo image in place becomes the logo of record for that note and cannot be changed.

Where the system looks for the logo image:

1. User-level setting: The system first checks User Preferences > Logo for a user-defined Practice Logo / Letterhead image.

2. Practice-level setting: If no user-level logo is set, it looks for a logo stored in Admin > Practice Preferences.

3. Location-level setting: If no logo is available at the practice level, the system checks Admin > Locations and uses the logo saved in the Location Logo / Image File section.

Fixes (A-Z)

Charge Capture Report

We updated the Charge Capture Report to ensure accurate billing for test therapeutic infusions that include a piggyback (secondary infusion). Previously, the report only captured the initial test dose. Now, the report will include the full charge, reflecting the higher relative value unit (RVU).

Documents tab

Previously, some clinical notes with the Release to Patient Portal or HIE option were not being delivered to the patient portals. Now, notes will be delivered to the portal as expected whenever this option is selected.
