The updated EHR includes a custom guideline builder that enables clinicians to select which clinical measures should be highlighted during a patient visit. The EHR, for instance, could display an on-screen alert if a patient exceeds American Diabetes Association standards for blood glucose levels. The software includes built-in common national guidelines.

Another new feature is a physician dashboard that highlights a patient's care management plan, providing graphing of key measures as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
