Now you can create and manage custom observation types, which can be used in addition to the built-in observation types in Panacea.
Custom observation types allow you to define the name, measurement units, normal high and low measures for the observation, as illustrated below.

Adding custom consultation types to the consult couldn't be easier - just click the '+' at the bottom of the Objective Observations section (of the edit consultation screen) and choose the require observation type from the drop-down list:

Check out the custom observation types user guide article for instructions on creating and managing custom observation types.
​

Observations can now be recorded and viewed from the patient screen.  This is really handy if you want to record obs either before a consult has been opened (such as during check-in) or even if you're not planning on opening one at all.

This feature also allows you to enter a date, time and notes for the observation.  This is great for entering previous observations after the fact.
​
From the patient screen, simply click the 'Observations' tab, select the observation type you want to enter and then click the green '+' to add a new observation.

 Observation charts allow you to view historical values for any observation types.  This is really handy for viewing a patients weight over time, for example.

Observation charts are displayed on the 'Observations' tab of the patient screen.  You can also view that patients weight history from the 'edit consultation' screen by clicking on the weight value on patients weight from the patient information bar, as illustrated below:

The remainder of this section describes accessing observation charts from the Observations tab of the patient screen.  Select the relevant observation type from the drop-down list.
Observation charts are displayed by default in a table view, as below.

You can enter a date range if you want to display only values taken between specified dates.

Click 'CHART' to view the observation values as a line chart, as illustrated below.
​

Admin users can now re-open closed consultations by clicking on the red padlock - this appears in the Consultations screen (as below) and in the 'view consultation' screen.

In addition to allowing you select standard reminder frequencies (such as daily, weekly, yearly, etc.), you can now choose your own custom reminder frequencies using any combination of years, months and days.
Note that custom reminder frequencies apply to recurring reminders only - just use the relevant boxes to set the custom frequency, as illustrated below.

You can now create categories for files, such as 'Lab Results', 'Clinical Photos' and 'Xrays'.  Great for keeping all of those files organised!

We've tweaked the side menu to make it a bit easier to navigate.  Groups and categories for all element types (e.g. clients, consultations, files, products, etc.) are now all accessed via the 'Groups and Categories' menu option.
Sales settings, including taxes, dispensing fees and payment methods, are now accessed under the Sales menu option.

So much good stuff:

We've also been busy squashing bugs:
