8.26.15.1

We are delighted to share with you a set of new features and a list of fixes that we have in store for the June 2024 official release. With the improved quality and enhanced options, you can now experience a better Hospital Information System 8.

The list includes significant new features and fixes that we have been working on for the past few months since our last update, the May 2024 release (8.26.14.50OR).

We have also made some feature improvements to the Hospital Information System 8.

Before you run the new update, we highly recommend that you take the following steps to get the best result:

  1. Please note that it is important to disconnect all workstations from the main server before performing an Exe update. Connected workstations while updating may result in incomplete database structure updates, such as new columns, views, functions, stored procedures, and the like, which can result in more errors.
  2. Prepare the database by running the re-index script, especially for those who are still using R25 and the earlier R26 versions (no need for those running the IndexOptimize job). It is also advisable to run the shrinking log files script for those who have huge volumes of database files.
  3. For those who have not been updated in a long while, you must first execute all the previously released versions that came after your current version before performing the update to the latest version. This will ensure that you never miss any of the previous structure updates. We can also avoid any time-out expired validation during the update. Please check the table below for your reference.


  1. Please be reminded to secure a backup of reports before performing any Report Deployer update. It is mandatory to rename your RDL files every time you modify them (including the name of their views, stored procedures, and functions if these files were also altered). This is to assure users that any modifications made will still be intact after the update.
