description: "• Templar receipt printing now uses a full patient age string (years and months) instead of years-only — note this is a breaking change to the TPdfObject type\n\nRead more: https://developer.eka.care/emr-changelog"
}}
>
  ## ⚠️ Breaking

  * **\[EMR] Templar receipt patient age field** — The `TPdfObject` type used by `getPatientIntroForReceipt` replaces the numeric `ageInM?: number` field with a string `age?: string`. Callers must now pass a pre-formatted age (for example, `"5 Years 3 Months"`) instead of months as an integer; the previous "compute years from months" behaviour has been removed in favour of richer year-and-month rendering. Update any caller that was passing `ageInM` to pass `age` instead.

  ## Improved

  * **\[EMR] Patient age rendering on receipts** — `getPatientIntroForReceipt` now prints the patient's full age string (years and months) on receipts instead of computing only whole years from months, giving a more clinically meaningful age label.

description: "• Health Records Android and Document UI introduce an analysing-state UI for parsed records\n\nRead more: https://developer.eka.care/emr-changelog"
}}
>
  ## Added

  * **\[EMR] Analysing UI in Health Records Android and Document UI** — The Eka Health Records Android SDK and `android-document-ui` module introduce an "analysing" state UI for documents under processing, surfacing parse-in-progress to end users instead of leaving the document in an ambiguous state. Internal core SDK contracts were adapted to drive the new UI cleanly. [View docs](/SDKs/android/medical-records)

description: "• IPD billing print now shows Total Amount, Total Discount, and Grand Total with quantity-aware MRP\n\nRead more: https://developer.eka.care/emr-changelog"
}}
>
  ## Improved

  * **\[EMR] IPD billing print totals** — The IPD billing print template (`getBodyForIpdBilling`) now computes Total Amount as `Σ(MRP × Qty)`, derives Total Discount from the difference with the line-item-discounted total, and renders an explicit Grand Total alongside Total Paid and amount due. The output replaces the previous Total MRP / Line Item Discount / Total Amount layout with a clearer Total Amount / Total Discount / Grand Total breakdown.

description: "• Templar prescription engine adds pageBreakTableTr support in getHead\n\n• Diet chart authoring extended with additional structure\n\nRead more: https://developer.eka.care/emr-changelog"
}}
>
  ## Added

  * **\[EMR] pageBreakTableTr in Templar getHead** — The `getHead` helper in the Templar prescription engine now supports `pageBreakTableTr`, allowing template authors to declare table-row level page breaks for cleaner multi-page prescription rendering.

  ## Improved

  * **\[EMR] Diet chart authoring in Templar** — Diet chart support in the Templar prescription engine has been extended with additional structure and rendering refinements, building on the diet chart sections introduced on April 22.

}}
>
  ## Improved

  * **\[EMR] Doctor name on IPD receipts and bills** — IPD receipt and bill print output now uses the doctor profile's first-name and last-name fields directly instead of a single concatenated string, giving cleaner, more consistent doctor-name rendering across IPD billing artifacts.

}}
>
  ## Added

  * **\[EMR] forceApiSearch flag in Patient Directory TS SDK** — The Patient Directory TypeScript SDK now exposes a `forceApiSearch` option, letting integrators bypass the local cache and force a live API lookup for patient search — useful for high-confidence lookups where freshness must beat latency.

  ## Fixed

  * **\[EMR] Patient Directory TS SDK lookup correctness** — Resolved an edge case in the Patient Directory TypeScript SDK where stale or partial cached state could surface incorrect patient search results; lookups now consistently reflect the live directory.

>
  ## Added

  * **\[EMR] Diet charts in prescription templates** — The Templar prescription engine now supports diet chart sections, enabling structured diet plans to be authored and rendered alongside prescriptions.

  ## Improved

  * **\[EMR] Unit display name fallback in prescriptions** — Prescription `rx` and `labVitals` sections now render `unit_display_name` when available and fall back to `name`, producing cleaner unit labels on printed prescriptions.

  ## Fixed

  * **\[EMR] IPD admission TinyMCE preview** — Fixed a rendering bug where the IPD admission rich-text preview was showing stale or malformed HTML in the prescription template engine.

}}
>
  ## Improved

  * **\[EMR] Prescription PDF asset loading** — S3-hosted assets such as doctor signatures in prescription PDFs now include cache-busting query parameters, preventing stale cached versions from appearing. Signature display is also now controlled by a `show_signature` configuration flag for more flexible template rendering. [View docs](/integrations/core-emr/prescription)

  * **\[EMR] Eye exam ordering in prescription PDFs** — Ophthalmology examination tables in prescription PDFs now render in the correct display order, ensuring eye-care data appears consistently across generated documents. [View docs](/integrations/core-emr/prescription)

  * **\[EMR] Patient Directory API extras field** — The `extras` field in the Update EMR User endpoint now documents restrictions: no nested lists, no dictionaries inside lists, only one level of nesting in dictionaries, keys must not exceed 16 characters, and keys starting with `_` are ignored.

  ## Improved

  * **\[Client-Specific] Prescription PDF template engine** — Added support for configurable prescription template styles, enabling custom PDF layouts that map clinical data (symptoms, history, vitals, medications, investigations, diagnosis, advices, review, and signature) to form-specific positions. A new `template_style` configuration option controls which layout is applied during PDF generation.

}}

  ## Improved

  * **IPD billing PDF layout** — The pricing summary in IPD billing PDFs now displays Total Paid and Amount Due/Overpaid labels, replacing the previous single "Amount to be paid" line for clearer printed output. [View docs](/integrations/core-emr/payments)

  * **OPD slip enhancements** — OPD slips now print tags and additional data fields, and the token number font size has been increased for better readability at the front desk.

  * **Medical Records Android SDK** — Oversized images are now validated before upload with a clear user alert, and PDF URI resolution has been moved to a background thread to prevent main-thread crashes.

  ## Fixed

  * **Health Records Android SDK** — Missing files during record processing are now handled gracefully instead of causing crashes, with improved error handling in MD5 checksum generation.
