NSW WorkCover Templates
o The text limit of free-text areas for the NSW WorkCover Template has been increased from 70 to 300 characters. An Auto font size feature is enabled which shrinks the font size where needed to ensure that (up to) 300 chars fit into the text boxes. We suggest you use the ‘free text’ area at the bottom of this template if you require further space, until a more flexible template becomes available.
Patient Search and Reporting
o Past Conditions / Ceased Medications: Search for patients who have had a previous condition or who have ceased medications.
o Allergies / Vaccinations: Search for patients with specific allergies or who have been immunised with a specific vaccine.
o Save: Save the search criteria / reports you use frequently to reduce time to access this information
The patient search / reporting tool is being rolled out to the practices in a staggered approach and will be available to all practices in the next two weeks. See more about Patient Reports in Helix.
