FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BOZEMAN, MT -- FEBRUARY 20, 2018 -- Pulsara announced today the release of app version 7.3, which contains several user-requested enhancements and bug fixes. Details are as follows.
STROKE SCORES
Pulsara now allows users to create Stroke Scores, Vital Signs, and Labs without selecting a Hospital. Previously, the app displayed an error alert to EMS users if a destination hospital wasn't selected when adding this info.
User feedback said that this didn't make sense in a lot of EMS scenarios where medics need to collect information earlier in the patient care process.
GLOBAL TIMER PANEL
Pulsara received feedback that the Last Known Well timer for Stroke was inconsistent with other timers in the platform, which was causing some confusion.
So now, all timers are HH:MM:SS, including Last Known Well.

ALERTING
Pulsara now triggers an alert rollover to email/pager when admin users send a test alert to a mobile user. This allows for easier configuration testing of primary alert rollover to email/pager.
SQUASHED BUGS
Stroke Contraindications Tabs
The stroke contraindications page for admins is supposed to have three tabs: Default, 0-3 hours, and 3-4.5 hours. The 3-4.5 hour tab was missing, but has now been added in.

Gaze Deviation 0 or 1
Gaze Deviation question was modified to allow only a 0 or 1 answer when using the RACE score.
Previously, the platform had 0, 1, and 2 as options to what should be a binary (yes or no) question.
