HERON Neosho includes same financial encounter search optimization and text labels for tumor registry

The Neosho update replaces numerical codes with text labels for tumor registry primary site and histology. Support for user-selected outcomes in the multi-cohort analysis tool has been fixed (though initialization issues remain). New UHC data includes low socioeconomic status and admission source.

Previously, limiting searches to the same financial encounter meant increased query times. This release fixes the issue resulting in quicker queries.
