Connected Care Operations, Safer Data & Clearer Communications

1. Antenatal Care from Booking to Consultation

Antenatal care is now represented consistently across service setup, appointment booking, and the medical record. Teams can publish ANC services, schedule the patient at the correct branch, and record the resulting ANC consultation without forcing it into a generic visit type.

• • Add Antenatal Care as a facility service category where the workflow is offered.
• • Book ANC appointments against branch-specific profiles and availability.
• • Keep the ANC consultation visible as its own encounter type in the patient record.

2. Faster, More Reliable Laboratory Imports

The laboratory importer now handles a wider range of real report layouts and can process reports containing more than one slip. Matching uses investigation aliases and clinical fallbacks so imported results land against the intended tests while still showing staff which row needs attention when a value cannot be mapped.

• • Improved matching for hematology, thyroid, renal, liver, and other common report formats.
• • Choose the target slip when a document contains multiple laboratory result sections.
• • Review clearer field-level errors instead of restarting an entire import without guidance.

3. Safer Patient Identity Cleanup

AfyaFlow can identify likely duplicate records even when older data stores the same phone number in different formats. The cleanup console brings the supporting evidence together, but it never performs a patient merge silently.

• • Compare identity details and linked clinical data before taking action.
• • Process large cleanup jobs in bounded batches for predictable performance.
• • Require an explicit authorized staff review before records are merged or retired.

4. Branch-Aware Appointments and Communication Digests

Appointment and digest settings now respect how multi-branch organizations actually operate. Schedules and channels remain organization-wide where appropriate, while team recipients, booking profiles, and appointment visibility stay attached to the relevant branch.

• • Offer only booking profiles valid for the active branch.
• • Separate provider and team digest timing, channels, recipients, and editable message copy.
• • Show digest delivery and bounce outcomes in message activity.

5. Communication Spend You Can Trace

The communications account now separates credit activity from provider-facing message activity. Teams can see which branch used SMS credits, inspect delivered message previews with sensitive OTP content masked, and act on low-balance alerts before sends are interrupted.

6. Secure Report Sharing and Connected Stock Workflows

Selected reports can be shared with a patient through an expiring no-account link, with retry visibility when notification delivery fails. Inventory pages now connect to live supplier, warehouse, pharmacy, consumable, and investigation data instead of static placeholders; availability still follows the modules enabled for each organization.

7. Queue and TV Reliability Improvements

TV pairing retries preserve the existing display record, specific-patient calls now produce the expected display announcement, and media playback retains compatibility with existing clinic displays. These changes are designed to arrive without a manual workstation installation.
