Voalte Me iOS 3.6.1 Release Notes

Executive Summary

Voalte Me 3.6 enhances the provider experience by providing flexibility on how users are contacted, choice on what interrupts their day, and a streamlined new BYOD on-boarding process.

Voalte is pleased to introduce an exciting on-call scheduling integration with Best in KLAS Lightning Bolt Solutions. Voalte One and Me users can quickly find and contact on-call users directly within the app, no matter whether the provider is on Voalte yet or not.

 

Voalte Me 3.6.1 fixes a critical issue regarding Voalte Me users appearing as logged out. The application is available starting June 26, 2018.

Supported Operating Systems

The minimum operating system required for Voalte Me 3.6 is iOS 11. Please refer to the iOS Validations support article for specifics regarding each iOS release.

New Features & Functionality Improvements

Improved reminder notifications.

Voalte Platform reminders now include the word “Reminder” so users can differentiate between a reminder and a new message.

Improved visuals when messaging offline users.

When a user starts a conversation with someone who is offline, a banner appears notifying the sender the recipient is offline. The banner displays when entering the conversation again.

View yourself in a unit, team, room or department.

Users can see themselves in a unit, team, room or department they are assigned to. This creates a more consistent view for all users and provides visual confirmation when assigned to those locations.

When users tap their name, they go to their profile

Mute conversation notifications.

Requires 3.6 Sever

Users can mute conversation notifications for 1-to-1 or group conversations. Priority messages will override muted conversation notifications.

Notifications can resume only when a user shuts off mute notifications manually. Mute settings are retained across sessions. Deleting a conversation thread does not affect the mute setting for the conversation if it recommences.

When conversation notifications are muted, an icon in the conversation thread on the Messages screen will indicate it is muted. If a user opens a conversation that is muted, a banner will display.

The ability to mute conversation notifications is a site-wide configuration setting called mute_conversation.

Audit chat events will capture which users have conversation notifications muted.

Physician scheduling.

Requires 3.6 Sever

Hospitals using Lightning Bolt for physician scheduling can now take advantage of the new integration with Voalte Platform.

Users access Lightning Bolt schedules from the Menu in Voalte One or Voalte Me. By tapping a name on the schedule, Voalte One or Voalte Me will present the on-call staff member's Voalte profile, making it easy to call or start a conversation with that staff member.

Note: This feature requires the hospital to purchase Lightning Bolt. Please contact your Voalte representative for more information.

Retain assignments. 

Requires 3.6 Sever

When users log in to Voalte Platform, their self-assignment selections will reflect previous selections.

As users go through each screen of the self-assignment process, selections from their previous sessions will be pre-selected.

For example, if the user was assigned to rooms ICU-7, ICU-8 and ICU-9, those rooms will already be selected on the Select Rooms screen.

Voalte Me unavailable status.

Requires 3.6 Sever

Voalte Me users have the option to set their status to unavailable. This will make the user appear offline to other Voalte Platform users. Users who set to their profiles to unavailable can still navigate and use the application. If unavailable users try to send a message, the application will ask if they want to be set back to available. Users control the notifications they will receive when their presence is set to unavailable. Custom statuses are not permitted when set to unavailable.
