What's new in DocNow
New features, fixes, and improvements across your DocNow workspace.
Medications
2Track your own meds
You can now star any medication as one you personally manage — including medications imported from another EHR — with a ★ icon on every medication row. A "My Meds" toggle filters the list down to just your starred medications, so your working list stays front and center without hiding the full chart.
Prescriber column, Active/Discontinued tabs, and source badges
The medication table now shows who prescribed each medication in a dedicated Prescriber column, with Active, Discontinued, and All tabs to switch between current and past medications, plus color-coded badges showing whether a medication came from DocNow, the EHR, or another source. On-hold medications now correctly appear under Active instead of being hidden.
Patient Census
3Consistent actions in every census view
The card view now offers the same Note, Wound, and Bill actions as the table view, including note draft/signed status, and patient names are clickable links to the full chart in both views — no more switching views to get to an action.
Warning when adding an out-of-facility patient
If a patient is enrolled but currently admitted at a different building, DocNow now warns you before adding them to your census, so a stale facility record doesn't lead to a silent cross-facility addition.
Cleaner visit status and ADT filters
The Visit Status filter now shows "Unseen" and "Seen" only, with no ambiguous "Unknown" option. Discharge and transfer status has moved to its own dedicated ADT Status filter, making it faster to find the patients you need at a glance.
See in app
The Visit Status filter now shows only Unseen and Seen; discharge and transfer status live in a new, separate ADT Status filter — select Moved to see only transferred patients.
Charge Capture
1Template billing shortcuts on the charge slip
Charge codes configured on a note template now appear as ready-to-use shortcuts on the charge slip once a provider signs a note built on that template — prefilled with the right place-of-service, modifiers, and suggested diagnosis codes.
See in app
Signing a template-backed note surfaces a billing link; the CPT picker opens with a dedicated Note Template Shortcuts section at the top, ready to submit with one tap.
Clinical Notes
2Built-in spell-check for notes
The note editor now flags misspelled words with a wavy underline and offers corrections, right in your browser — keeping note text off any third-party spell-check service. It's on by default and can be turned off from your personal Settings.
Delete a note while it's still a draft
If you start a note by mistake — wrong patient, wrong template, an accidental create — you can now delete it yourself while it's unsigned, from the note editor or the encounter's Notes list. A confirmation names the patient and note before anything is removed. Signed notes can't be deleted this way.
See in app
The note editor's "Delete draft…" action opens a confirmation naming the patient and note before the draft is removed.
Patient Chart
1Mark a chart date as "Unknown."
When you don't know exactly when something happened — a patient-reported vaccination, a scanned document with no legible date — you can now mark the date "Unknown" instead of guessing or leaving it blank. Available on Imaging, Immunizations, Documents, Lab Results, ADL Assessments, Medications, Allergies, and Problems; every view shows a consistent "Unknown," sorted to the end of the list.
️ Admin
1Configure provider cross-coverage
Practice admins can now set up which providers are associated for cross-coverage under Organization Settings → Provider Associations. Each association is mutual and fully audited, and controls visibility between providers who shouldn't automatically see each other's patients.
See in app
Under Organization Settings, admins pick two providers to associate for cross-coverage — the saved association shows both providers' names and credentials, with a remove action.
DocSense
2Apply dictation to the note with per-section undo
Reviewed, AI-routed dictation can now be applied straight into the note with one click — or automatically, via a new Auto Apply setting — with a clear indicator on any section still waiting to be applied. Any single applied section can be reverted on its own without losing the rest, even after reloading the page.
See exactly what DocSense added
After applying dictated content, the added or changed text is highlighted right in the note editor — down to the specific word or value that changed — so it's always clear what came from DocSense versus what you wrote yourself. Highlights are for review only and never appear on the signed note.
Bug Fixes
4Return to your census when you close a chart
Closing a note or encounter that was opened from a census now takes you back to that census, instead of dropping you on the generic patient chart.
Note editor fixes
Fixed the signature block floating awkwardly at the bottom of short or long notes; fixed the "note already exists" dialog to list every matching note instead of just one; and expanded the Recent Notes widget from three entries to four, matching Recent Labs and ADLs.
Wound procedures no longer disappear from notes
A procedure performed during a visit now always appears in the note, even if the wound's status later changes — for example if it heals or is amputated. Previously it could silently drop out of the record.
Dashboard, census, and note-editor fixes
Dashboard census cards now show the census's own title instead of just the facility name; new notes created from letterhead templates now correctly resolve the provider and date instead of showing "No provider on record"; signed-note PDF export no longer hangs on a corrupted signature image; empty facility tiles no longer falsely claim "All seen"; Tab now confirms a selection in note-template dropdowns; and every visit opened from a census has a clear link back to the full patient chart.
