July 6, 2022

Important! Windows on ARM is not currently supported. For example, Microsoft Surface Pro X devices. For more information about Windows on ARM, see Microsoft's Windows Arm-based PCs FAQ.

Read the following important information about this release!

Version 4.x contains a new release of emsCharts for Windows which requires the replacement of the device's local database. It is a major change that includes a new installation path, separate data storage, and application name. Read the following information before migrating from version 3 to 4:

  • Upload all charts: It is critical that all charts are uploaded from the old version prior to uninstalling or migrating to the new version.

    • Charts started in version 3 are not accessible in version 4.

    • Any charts not uploaded before uninstalling will be lost.

  • Remote (Mobile Windows Service) Administration: The Remote Administration add-on application has not yet been released for the new version and only works with emsCharts Mobile v3.

Auto update for Windows

You can use the auto update feature to remotely upgrade your emsCharts for Windows 4.x devices to v4.2.2.

To configure auto updates, go to the Mobile V3 Auto Update Restriction code table under Service Configuration > Code Tables and add a new entry for Version 4.2.2 (64 and/or 32 bits) and set Allow Automatic Update to 'Yes'. Your 4.x devices will receive a prompt to update.

Important! If your devices are on 3.x, you must uninstall 3.x first and then follow the emsCharts for Windows installation steps to upgrade them to 4.2.2 manually. If your devices are on 4.0 - 4.1, you must click here and follow these additional steps before setting up the auto update.

New features/enhancements

The installation path, data storage, and application name have all been updated for emsCharts for Windows V4. See the installation instructions for more information. You must first uninstall emsCharts for Windows before installing, regardless of the version you are currently on.

  • Start-up speed improvements: The application has been updated to speed up start-up.

  • Data validation updates - Referring/Receiving Mode: Data validation rules/actions now highlight the Dispatch > Referring/Receiving > Mode field when appropriate.

  • Data validation updates - vitals fields: Data validation rules/actions now highlight the Activity Log > Basic Vitals > Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Respiratory Effort, and GCS (total) Score fields when appropriate.

Fixed issues

  • CAD import times offset by 3 hours: We fixed an issue causing CAD imports not done in the Eastern timezone to show the incorrect time.

  • Clear database functionality: With the upgrade to SQLite database for emsCharts for Windows v4.x, the ability to clear the database stopped working as expected. This is fixed so Clear Database will delete the database, and upon logging in a fresh database will be created.

  • Night Mode: We fixed an issue with the Referring/Receiving page in Night Mode displaying a white background with white labels.

  • Newly added mobile documents not synching: We fixed an issue causing new or updated documents to not show up in emsCharts for Windows. The documents are configured in emsCharts Web > Configuration > Code Tables > Mobile Document Viewer.

System configuration changes

None.

Known issues

We are aware of the following issues and are working to resolve them in an upcoming release:

  • Remote (Mobile Windows Service) Administration is currently not working with v4.

  • ZOLL Cloud EKG Import unexpected error: If the EKG Report Image Type for your service is set to anything other than 'Default (Leave as JPG, Bitmap)', users will receive an "Unexpected error" when trying to import into emsCharts for Windows. Administrators can update this setting in the Web EKG Configuration code table.

  • Multiple brands of EKG devices: If you use both ZOLL EKG devices and other manufacturers' devices, you will need two instances of emsCharts for Windows installed.

  • Windows on ARM is not currently supported. For example, Microsoft Surface Pro X devices. For more information about Windows on ARM, see Microsoft's Windows Arm-based PCs FAQ.
