| Related Issue Number | Jira Number | Release Note | Collection | API Version | Staging Availability | Production Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N/A | HCSI-4933 | Added a new POST v4/scheduletasks endpoint that lets AlayaCare create CareTend schedule tasks with subject, task type, start/end or duration, employee/department assignees, optional patient MRN, notes, and reminder minutes. Added validation and error handling for required fields (e.g., subject, task type, start date/time, department, entered by/on) and common edge cases, including support for clearing optional fields by sending null or no value. Added a structured response that returns the created task details (subject, type, start date/time, department, patient, duration, notes, assignees, reminder minutes) so calling systems can confirm the schedule entry that was created in CareTend. | ScheduleTasks | V4 | 1/14/2026 | 1/14/2026 |
| N/A | HCSI-5028 | Added a POST /v4/patients/search endpoint that removes use of database views in the underlying stored procedure so Integration V4 patient search works with the latest build pipeline. Added input validation to require well-formed patient search criteria and to reject invalid or incomplete request payloads before the query executes. Added an optimized query that returns patient search results directly from the underlying tables, with all previously ignored E2E and unit tests reinstated and functionality verified in QA (see attached Postman QA check) | Patients | V4 | 1/14/2026 | 1/14/2026 |
| N/A | HCSI-5231 | Resolved an issue where the v4 PATCH /commands/v4/inventory endpoint returned a 500 error instead of a 400 when updating Drug or Supply inventory items with mismatched inventoryItemId and externalRefKey. Input validation has been enhanced so that mismatched identifiers or mismatched item types (for example, attempting to update a Drug inventory item as a Supply, or vice versa) now return a clear 400 error explaining that the values or types do not match the target inventory item. The endpoint continues to return standard success responses when the inventoryItemId, externalRefKey, and item type (Drug or Supply) are valid and consistent. | Inventory | V4 | 1/14/2026 | 1/14/2026 |
| N/A | HCSI-5232 | Added a POST v4/documents/newfax and v4/documents/newscan workflow integration so that newly created fax and scanned documents now appear correctly in the Document Manager and the Incoming Documents queue in the CareTend UI. Input validation ensures that only supported document types (New Fax, New Scanned) with valid workflow group settings create corresponding workflow instances required by the UI. The endpoint returns a standard 200 response with the created document, and now also creates the necessary workflow tracking records so these documents are immediately visible and editable in the UI | Documents | V4 | 1/14/2026 | 1/14/2026 |
