Keyboard Shortcuts

Changes have been made to the system to allow easier and quicker treatment by using the keyboard, the document below provides full details.
Future releases will start to bring further usability changes such as these across the system. 

GDPR Additions

Data Consent Colours

The data consent tab will now change colour depending on the consent status.

Reports

2 new reports for managing your data consent, these reports will help identify clients with no consent and expiring consent.

Internal Messaging Usability Changes

We have included some small changes to the internal messaging to make usability easier and flexible.

Navigation Improvements

We have changed the navigation options to organise them correctly into Utilities and Administrations. Non-clinical functions have been removed from the main navigation bar and are available within the menu bars.

Printing the Weight Chart

It is now possible to print the weight chart for a patient; after some recent changes to how these are created within Merlin we have been able to make this available.

Speech-to-text Voice Recognition

If using Merlin on the Chrome browser, you will now see an option to use the built in Speech to Text voice recognition. We will be interested in your feedback on usage of this feature and if you would like to expand this to all free-text fields in the PMS.
