The Ability to Store Multiple Medical Conditions and Medical Specialists

Important Release Notes

To ensure a smooth transition through this major release -

Your current medical fields will remain and all reports will cater for both the old and the new formats.
All enrolment forms have been updated with 2 new sections so that all new enrolments will automatically utilise the new style.
The existing Doctor, Critical Information, Allergies and Medical Condition fields on the enrolment form have been made 'obsolete' (a super new feature!). These will still be visible when viewing historical enrolment forms but will be removed from visibility on entry.

Once your team is familiar with the change, you can gradually convert your medical information from the old format to the new, and subsequently remove the old fields at your own pace.

A hard refresh is required to view the full results.
