Create and Edit Device POs (Edit Role)

The ability to create and edit device POs was added for the Edit role, so Logistics Portal users with this permission can create and edit device orders.

If there is a filter applied, the export honors the filter. The user role Reports is required for this export feature.
Reports - Contact Attempt Dates and Notes

The Kit Pickup report and Patient Kit Ship report were updated to include the contact attempt date and notes, so the time it takes between attempts and the outcome of each call is quickly visible.

Kit Pool Setting - Close Record Automatically After EULA Acceptance A setting was added to the kit pool that will automatically close a kit ship record once the EULA acceptance date is received. This keeps agents from needing to manually to close records.
Kit Pool on Kit Ship and Kit Pickup Pages The Kit Ship and Kit Pickup List pages now include a column for Kit Pool, so the records can be filtered by kit pool.
Add Device API Updates

The Add Device API was enhanced with improved error message handling and other changes to support updating a kit to add devices remotely during the kit build process.

EULA Accepted Date (Kit Ship Report and Kit Ship Call Page)

The Patient Kit Ship Report has a new column for the EULA accepted date and time. When the field is blank, the patient has not yet accepted the EULA in their Care Team Portal. The Patient Kit Ship report displays the new column between the existing columns Welcome Call and On Hold Date. Also, the EULA Accepted Date is an optional column on the Patient Kit Ship and Patient Kit Ship Call List pages.

At this time, the system will not populate the EULA Accepted Date for existing records. This value will only be populated for new EULA accepted events.

Example: Patient Kit Ship Report with New EULA Accepted Date Column

Example: Optional Column for EULA Accepted Date on the Patient Kit Ship Call List Page

Error Handling for Bulk Device Upload

On the Devices > Receive Devices page, descriptive error messages were added for the bulk device upload feature, so issues can be resolved with the serial numbers quickly. Error message may appear for the following issues:

  • Devices fail validation: "{Count} entries in the import failed validation and were not uploaded. All other devices were successfully added."
  • Duplicate serial numbers: "The following serial number(s) appear multiple times within the file and were not uploaded. All other devices were successfully added."
  • Already existing serial numbers: "The following serial number(s) already exist within the Logistics Portal and were not uploaded. All other devices were successfully added.
  • More device than the purchase order: "This Purchase Order allows {count} devices to be received but this import exceeds the limit. The following device serial numbers were not received. Please create a new PO in order to upload these devices."
  • Exceptions for device creation: "Encountered errors importing the following {Count} records."

For more information, see Uploading Serial Numbers.

Example: Bulk Upload Device Serial Numbers

Create and Edit Device POs (Edit Role)

The ability to create and edit device POs was moved from the Vivify role to the Edit role, so Logistics Portal users with the Edit permission can create and edit device orders.

Example: New PO Option in Actions Menu

Example: Edit Option in Actions Menu

Patient Date of Birth Reference Information

The patient's date of birth is now visible on the Reference Info cards for all records, so support can confirm this information when on a call with the patient.

This data is pulled from the Care Team Portal when the record is created. If the value changes in the Care Team Portal after the record is created, that change will not be reflected in the Reference Info card. However, if the field was blank in the Care Team Portal when the record was created, the Logistics Portal will attempt to pull the data from the Care Team Portal every time the page is loaded.

Example: Patient DOB in Reference Information

New Kit Ship Complete Reason

A new completion reason was added to kit ship records, so support can track when a patient opts out of the program. The new completion reason (Patient declined program) was added to the Complete options for kit ships.

Example: Patient Declined Program – Complete Reason

Export Kit Ship List

On the Patient Kit Ship page, in the Actions menu, an Export List option was added. Selecting this option generates an Excel spreadsheet with the data currently selected on the screen. The selected columns are included and columns not selected are not included. If there is a filter applied, the export honors the filter. The user role Reports is required for this export feature.

Example: Export List Option in Actions Menu

Reports - Contact Attempt Dates and Notes

Columns were added to the Patient Kit Ship and Kit Pickup reports to track and report on the call attempts made by support. The functionality to record call attempts and the note already existed, but it was only in the history. This update adds columns to the database and the report to show the first three call attempts and the last call attempt. The Final Contact Attempt and Final Contact Note column will always appear last. If there is only one contact attempt, the same data will show in the column for Contact Attempt 1 and the Final Contact Attempt column. If there are five contact attempts, the first three will show in their columns and the fifth will show in the final column.

Example: Patient Kit Ship Report with Contact Attempt and Contact Note Columns

Kit Pool Setting - Close Record Automatically After EULA Acceptance

A setting was added to the kit pool that will automatically close a kit ship record once the EULA acceptance date is received. This keeps agents from needing to manually to close records. This field was added as a check box to the create and edit Kit Pool page with the name Auto Complete Kit Ship. During the EULA acceptance event in the Logistics Portal, a check is performed for this field. If the value is true, then the kit ship record is auto completed with the reason "Patient Self Started".

Example: New Kit Pool Window with Auto Complete Kit Ship Option

Kit Pool on Kit Ship and Kit Pickup Pages

The Kit Ship and Kit Pickup List pages now include an optional column for Kit Pool, so the records can be filtered by kit pool. In the Filter by box, the following filter options are now available: Kit Pool =, Kit Pool ==, and Kit Pool !. When the Kit Ship List is exported, this column will be included, if it was previously applied as a column option.

Example: Optional Kit Pool Column on Patient Kit Ship Page
