New Features Callout

Patient Facing Assessments (PFA), Folders and Branding - WEL-4452

This feature was based on customer feedback, and we encourage you to provide more feedback on how can we improve it

In the new release, Welkin upgraded its PFA capabilities. Assessments can now be organized into PFA Folders. Each folder can be sent to a patient using message template and allows the patient to fill multiple assessments within the folder.

Each Assessment within the folder, can support multiple statuses, to reflect better patient interactions. Statuses are visible in Care on the patient assessment layout:

  1. New - indicates that assessment has been sent but the patient hasn’t answered any questions yet
  2. In Progress - indicates that patient has started working on assessment but hasn’t completed it yet (same state as previously existed)
  3. Submitted - indicates that patient has completed working on assessment
  4. Expired - this is a special status, indicating that assessment link has expired and cannot be worked on by the patient anymore
  5. Completed - this is the final state, no more changes are possible at this point (same state as previously existed)

What is the difference between Submitted and Completed?

When assessment is in status Submitted, it allows one that has enough permissions to review and Complete it. It is useful to do so when a patient doesn’t answer questions, or wants to change the answers while talking to a Welkin user.

Completed on the other hand, is a final state that triggers copy to custom data types associated with the assessment

Branding:

PFA folder now supports branding. In the Designer, our users can customize color scheme, logo, and favicon. The goal is to allow our customers to modify PFA to look and feel in native colors vs welkin color scheme

In addition, customers can use Welcome and Conclusion pages (optionally) for providing patients with additional instructions and thank you notes, or extra customization for other needs

In the subsequent releases, we will include several UI/UX improvements, updates to Security Policies on Assessments and automation improvements

Custom Patient Profile WEL-5032

This release contains a fundamental improvement for Patient Profile. Our customers can now add fields directly to patients in addition to existing methods of adding fields to the CDT.

In addition, Top Info section has more configuration options and changed behavior, by allowing you to specify number of visible fields vs showing everything

The benefits of choosing this modeling tactics, will allow customers to define their Patient Create / Edit screens in addition to defining Patient List columns (to be released soon).

Of course, similarly to our previous recommendations, we suggest discussing modeling with Welkin Implementation team, since its typically affecting how your API and Data will work and will look like

International DateTime - WEL-5051

In order to better support datetime across time zones (and in support of our international customers) the team developed datetime component that operates based on the user locale. Locale can be set up in Admin or Care, and will dictate how date and time are displayed

International Phone Number - WEL-5052

In this release, Welkin has started adding support for international phone numbers. Customers can start adding phone numbers for patients outside the US

This is an opportunistic feature, meaning that we add support to a new country by requests and as of today, only the USA and Singapore were added to the support list. Please let us know if more countries are needed

Designer JSON Viewer - WEL-5205

To improve performance and memory footprint of designer, we had to make some modifications to JSON viewerL

  1. The viewer is hidden by default and presents itself on a button click (CDT View, top right)
  2. Viewer is read only and does not refresh automatically - a button is added for that

We resolved the limitation of List field (changing order of values in a list field, that previously was only possible to do in the JSON viewer) and it’s now possible to do that in our UI

Note: The future of JSON viewer depends on our customers, if that feature is something that you like, please let us know.

Notification UX - WEL-4332

We implemented changes to Notification UX (drawer) in Care, to support archiving of one notification at a time (vs bulk). This means that single archive button will only archive one notification and archive all will act on all The option of “archive all older than current” that previously existed, was now removed

International - WhatsApp support - WEL-4814

To support our International customers, we have added support to whatsapp. Customers can start WhatsApp conversations, send and receive messages, attachments and use templates

Note: This feature requires configuration on Welkin side and not available out of the box to anyone, due to nature of such chat integration If you are interested in trying it out and eligible from compliance perspective, please reach out to your CSM

Phone Capabilities - WEL-5071

Each phone number in Welkin, has a list of associated capabilities. Using that list, customers can tag a phone number (Voice, SMS, MMS). Once tagged, Comm Center will help users understand that SMS cannot be sent to a number that does not have such capability for example, and will help our customers to increase success rate of different communication channels

Note: Some UX changes and improvements to Comm Center, are going to be released in next releases

Automation - WEL-5134

Two improvements in this release:

  1. Encounter creation action now includes ability to specify Care team (Point of Contact or Role) to better target correct audience
  2. New Condition on Patient to test for Care Team (or Point of Contact) - to help identify situations when patients have no active care team members or point of contact

New Tasks Layout and Updates to Task List - WEL-4579

In this release, we upgraded Tasks functionality to support new use cases and new UI.

  1. A new default Task layout is now available in Designer. Customers can add Tasks to patient view, similar to other default layouts. This layout will offer a filtered version to all tasks for this patient and filter capabilities, by Assignee, Dates and other fields
  2. New filters are introduced, including ability to filter tasks by certain template (or by Custom Task)
  3. User tasks view will now offer a view to see tasks of any users, with a preset default to the current logged in User. It will allow one to locate tasks for assignees that may no longer be with the company or need help reassigning the tasks
  4. Convenient “Clear All” button removes all filters
  5. Sorting by clicking on column name in the Task List is now available. The sort will perform a sort within each section (Todo, In Progress and Completed), and will allow users to see each section independently without intermixing different statuses

Updates to Task drawer

  1. UI changes - added Updated by field and moved both Created and Updated fields to the top of the drawer
  2. When a new task is created without a patient, updating it from the drawer will allow one to assign the patient. Similar to the past behavior, once patient is assigned, they cannot be changed
  3. “Save & Clone” button has been added to replace the checkbox. Convenient for customers who create many tasks for different patient at the same time. The behavior was updated as well, clicking on Save & Clone will preserve all data in the tasks, besides a Patient and Comments, allow fast creation of similar tasks for all the patients

Automation - New Triggers, Conditions - WEL-4579

This release contains a new batch of different automation triggers and conditions, allowing our customers to automate even more use cases

New Triggers

  1. Task is completed (new set of all triggers for tasks is available, to represent each state)
  2. Point of contact changed
  3. Care Team updated
  4. Encounter Updated

New Conditions:

  1. On SMS receive, perform a text match (case sensitive and insensitive options are available)
  2. Condition to check if patient is in Territory or Region
  3. Condition to check for Text and Text Area fields being Null or NotNull

Couple of sample use cases that can be used by our customers:

  1. On sms receive, look up for keyword and generate task, notification or email to the user to take some action
  2. On task complete (of certain template) generate a new task (of a different template) - allows one to chain tasks, one after another
  3. When executing some action, customers can check if a patient is in a certain Territory or in certain Program, allowing applying a different types of automation from the same trigger based on different location of program assignment

Change User’s Email - WEL-4710

This is to address one of the customer’s requests to change the user’s email address. Once email address is updated, the system will send notification to the old email address (informing of update), trigger password reset to the new address and inform tenant owner of such a change

Terminology Panel - WEL-4417

With this release, we start allowing our customers to modify some core concepts in Welkin UI, to match customers own terminology. The most popular use case, about 50% or our customers do not actually use the word Patient, but something else. With the release, the word patient can be replaced with a different term. To use that feature, override default terminology in Designer (or create a brand new one) and have users use it, from their Profile page by choosing display language

Note: This is an experimental feature, completely based on our customers requests, currently in Alpha. Please reach out with any feedback or wish list about this feature. We will only know how well it fits your need based on the feedback

Webhook Management

In order to improve Webhook management a bit, we are splitting webhook functionality into two different areas.

  1. Webhooks are still created in the designer, however one can only provide name and title
  2. Once deployed, webhooks can be found in Admin under Integrations -> Webhooks.

The webhooks in Admin would be Inactive by default, and would have to be supplied with URL (other parameters can be added as well) before activation

Note: Designer UI has been disabled and to provide these values, is now read only, and all current values have been migrated. In the next releases, we will clean up the designer UI as well

Granular Email Status - WEL-4424

In this release, we added a new feature that will propagate detail email status back to Care

New email statuses will support, Opened, Clicked and Failed.

There are some restrictions on how Opened and Clicked can work, depending on the end user(patient) email server (can be fully blocked), specific user setup and the sender domain,but in general, if the email was Opened by the patient the status will become Open, if the email contains a link and the link was clicked, the status will be Clicked, and Failure will be presented if we cannot deliver the email. Combined, under reasonable circumstances, should provide our customers with enough visibility into each and every email that is being sent from Welkin

Profiles - New Data View structures - WEL-4357

With the Profiles features being heavily used in Welkin, we have updated Data Views in the designer, to support profiles but also offer more reach functionality. Generally speaking, fields can be placed in different layouts in in different rows, they can be combined to show one or more profile fields and will allow profiles to be hyperlinked from the CDT view. The UX in designer was completely updated not only to support this functionality but also to comply with our latest styling guide

Patient List: WEL-3630

Patients view has been updated to better UX experience. Filters, columns are now aligned to the new mockups and new structure of UX Search, filters have new UX control, defaults to current logged in member This is a first update to patients list, in the next releases we will be introducing a new My Patients view, that is tailored for Care team members with a predefined filter set

Configurable Patient View: WEL-4344

With this release, Patient View (on a patient profile, above Action Bar) is now a configurable feature.

Navigate to the Top Info menu in the Designer, pick and choose what fields are visible. Note: All the fields would be available in the profile however non visible fields would be hidden under “More Info”

Automation Targets: WEL-4221

Two new features

  1. In this release, we allow automation to go beyond the care team, to “All users with role”. This automation, allows for cross functional workflow, that can unlock new organizational processes. For example, one can create automation with a trigger on Assessment Completed and route notification to a role “Scheduling Assistant” that is not necessarily present on the care team
  2. Automation triggers now offer more details, by allowing one to use Phase Started and Phase Ended events. This offers more granularity in configuring different use cases that need to happen when a patient enters a phase and a patient exists a phase. Good example is to send a Welcome email when a patient entered the Eligible phase in a program, or Congratulations SMS when a Patient has completed Graduated phase.

Care

Designer

Admin

Known Issues

  1. Automation: When using Task or Notification as an action, and selecting a specific Role, the first user in that role in a care team is being chosen for assignment, contrary to the original intent, of selecting a random user in that role
  2. Automation Target: Triggering an event on a patient without a care team is failing. It going to be fixed in a next release
  3. Patient List: minor UX issues
  4. Patient Top Info: minor UX issues

Deprecation Notice

To simplify automation, we removed “Encounter Deposition Created Event” as a trigger in Automation, since its a single record CDT and that event is managed by the system

Special Note

With the upcoming release, we are making a non-impactful change to use a dedicated webhook per tenant/environment, for the comm center. The change will make it easier for us to monitor failures and introducing a prep infra to consume new events (clicked and delivered) for email messages

New Features Callout

New Encounters and Calendars UI

This feature is a result of customer feedback that we recieved over last quarter. It features a redesigned Encounters UI, Events UI, API, filters and other capabilities.

Some of the new capabilities include:

Profiles

In the new release, Welkin supports a concept of Profile. Profile is a new core entity, that can be defined and configured in the designer and can be used to relate to patients. Typical use cases of profiles include representation of Family Members, Hospitals, Physicians that provide support to the patients but not necessarily have direct access to Welkin platform.

With this powerfull features, customers can manage multiple lists of profiles, associate profile records with patients (using our flexieble CDT model) and fully customize the experience

Profile records can participate in the Assessments as well, as a response to a question. As usual, profiles will require a security policy configuration

This is the first release of Profiles and there would be subsequent releases with enhaced functionalities in the near future

Assessments: Using conditions to hide and show required questions

Welkin Platform offers two levels of required fields. CDT level will ensure data consistency and is enforced through the API. Another level is an assessment level. With that feature release, required questions can be validated in the UI on the assessment level, and as a result can participate in conditional show/hide functionality. In order for the feature to function properly, the underlying CDT cannot have required fields and the validation will only work in the assessments user interface

Assessments: Using CDT variables in the assessments questions.

This feature allows one to use values from a CDT in order to form questions in the Assessments. Using Welkin variable builder, one can refer to values previously collected in order to present dynamically created question. Welkin will also persist the questions with resolved values (values to the moment of finalized questions) in order to maintain integrity for presentation of the values over time

Assessments: Addition of Contains operator

This feature enhances Welkin’s list of supported operators, and allows one to use Contains for multi select lists for condition evaluation in the assessments

Assessments: Scoring of fractions

Another improvement in Assessments mechanism, we allow scoring of fractions within our built in it scoring mechanisms

New Automation

This release includes a new user interface in Automation UI in Designer. It offers a simpler and more intuitive way to configure automation. This feature was based of customer feedback and was built in collaboration with many of our customers. Feel free to reach out for more suggestions on improvements

Message Templates improvements

Now, you can use Encounter Variables within the message template (sms/email/chat) messages. The variables, will resolve in runtime, similar to the currently available variables

Phone Tree

Phone tree capabilities now include Users language (Primary and Secondary languages in the User Attributes), honoring the working hours system and a signal while the call is being connected

Care UX Updates

Clicking on Tasks and Programs will open a drawer (similar to assessments and CDT) and will offer similar UX interaction for consistency
