myAvatar Treatment Plans

• For myAvatar users, updated the treatment plan sync to additionally filter the treatment plans for Bells based on the effective and plan end dates. This will reduce the number of duplicate treatment plans/goals users will see in Bells. 

Placeholders

• Introducing a new user placeholder for use in drop-ins, templates and progress notes. Typing $user will allow you to set the user placeholder to show the signed in user's first and last name. Additionally, added a new field to the user profile to custom set your Preferred Narrative Name. When set the preferred narrative name is what will be used for the user placeholder. 

Groups/Group Notes

• For myEvolv users, the No Show status can now be used for group notes in Bells. Configuration settings have been updated as well as the group progress note. 
• As part of a larger change being made to the Group Note configuration flow, the group note type configuration has changed. Instead of assigning note types directly to a group, the note types for the show, no show and cancelled status (where applicable) are saved as a set and applied to a group or several groups at once. This will make group note configuration faster and more efficient when setting the groups up initially. As part of this change, Group configuration has been migrated to the new flow. Bells administrators will need to go into the Group Note Type configuration and name the new sets.
