2 new features
- New automatic vital signs logs have been added to the EHR. A log is automatically taken every 5 minutes when the monitor is on and connected. Logs are also automatically added for relevant assessments.

Important Enhancements

This can be changed from your profile on the web portal.New privacy compliance is available in Institution Settings, where Admins can now disable saving of all web streamed facilitator recordings if preferred/required.
- To make it easier to know when ready to start, notifications now appear when each participant and facilitator joins the session.
- The direction required to turn up the oxygen flowmeter has been reversed, to align with the clinical setting.
- The PPE room sign option for ‘Novel Respiratory Isolation’ has been updated to ‘Special Droplet/Contact Precautions’, as Covid-19 phases from pandemic to endemic.
- The Admin setting that allows editor access now applies to Trainers only - Admins always have Editor access.
