Release Notes For 2011.09

Accuro©EMR (with no version number on the login screen) is the most recent version of Accuro available. The reason for no version number is because Optimed has moved to a more regular release schedule to avoid large annual releases. Optimed is now offering 6-week updates to all customers. This means that roughly every 6 weeks we will provide a release in the form of “Update Accuro” which you can run at your convenience. Note that once you update one of your computers, all of your computers will need the update run.

The release notes below are dated. When you apply the update, you will receive all changes since your last update. To find the last date you updated, login to Accuro and click Help > About > Details.
