Action Required: Update DYMO LabelWriter 450/550 Software
OfficeMate/ExamWRITER now supports the DYMO LabelWriter 550 and 550 Turbo label printers.
Action Required: If you use the DYMO LabelWriter 450/450 Turbo or LabelWriter 550/550 Turbo printer, do the following after installing OfficeMate 15.3.4737 or later:
-
Remove the DYMO Label 8.6.6.11 software/driver. See article 000020805 - Using a DYMO LabelWriter 450 or 550 with OfficeMate.

Download the following files from article 000020805 - Using a DYMO LabelWriter 450 or 550 with OfficeMate:
-
DYMO.COMMON.DLL (dated 11/09/2021). Add this file to the OFFICEMATE program directory on the computer using the DYMO printer.
-
File Folder Label.label. To prevent the DYMO printer from cutting off file folder labels, replace the old version of this file in the OFFICEMATE/Reports folder in all systems using the printer.

Data Export Functionality to Address Information Blocking Needs
Starting October 6, the electronic health information (EHI) covered under information blocking extends beyond data traditionally associated with exams. The data subject to information blocking rules now includes, but isn't limited to, exam, claims, and payment information.
To help you comply with information blocking rules, we added a new feature to OfficeMate Administration that enables you to export data from OfficeMate/ExamWRITER to send to registries or hospitals that request it. To learn more about Data Export, go to Exporting Patient Data.
VSPOne Ft. Lauderdale Lab Closing September 30
On September 30, 2022, the VSPOne 0821 Ft. Lauderdale lab will be closed and removed from OfficeMate lab drop-down lists.
If your office sends non-VSP lab orders to the Ft Lauderdale lab, Eyefinity recommends that you deactivate that lab in OfficeMate before September 30 so users can no longer select it for non-VSP lab orders.
In addition, if the remaining VSPOne labs are not already mapped, Eyefinity recommends that you add the VSPOne Dallas, Hawaii, Sacramento, and Tampa labs and map them to your offices that send non-VSP orders to VSPOne labs.
