A "Print" function has been added for system-generated chat messages.

Changes to resolve the following issues were also included:

Entering the DOB on the New Patient window did not automatically result in the calculation of the Age for the patient.
The Patient List was not always refreshing appropriately when the Site and Team filters were adjusted.

The Diagnosis report would generate an error when there was no data to display.
The CPT Count report could generate errors when unexpected CPT values were encountered.
Clicking on the IM Quality Measures tab for patients occasionally resulted in an error.
Various sizing issues with cells and fonts in the Cross Cover report made it difficult to display all patient data appropriately.
The selection list for matching ICDs only showed 3 values when searching via the "Diagnoses" list on the Bills tab (an issue that had been fixed previously on the New Bill window).
Bills with no CPT codes entered could not be deleted.

The "Force linking of Dx codes" setting was not actually forcing Dx linking.
The "Team Required" reminder for new patients was not working properly when that setting was turned on.
The Chat window was appearing upon login for NP/PA/Nurse user types even if their preference was set to not display Chat on login.
The Charge Lag ("Only Show Bills Older than <n> days in Billing Report") setting was not being applied to patients properly when the practice was defined as using Discharge Billing.

Scroll bars weren't appearing on the Category list of the Add Procedure window when more categories existed than could be displayed in the existing window.
The Cancel button did not always function properly on the IM eScribe (Medications) window.
CPT II bills created to report PQRI measures could have a different DOS than the encounter that triggered the measure in certain scenarios.
All edits to bills that had triggered PQRI measures were not always being duplicated in the CPT II bills they triggered.

Browser windows opened from the IM WebLinks section of the Home tab did not always have scroll bars when needed.
