Improvements to Mental Health Act Forms and Workflows

Enhancement updates provide short alerts to new, fixed or improved Connect Care functions...
  • Improvements to Mental Health Act Forms and Workflows
As of June 17, 2025, multiple improvements will be available in Connect Care for Mental Health Act (MHA) Forms and related workflows:
  • Signer name field changes:
    • When an MHA Form is signed, the name of the signer will auto-populate in the "Add Signer Name" field above the e-signature (click the camera icon below for a screenshot).
    • For Form 1 and Form 2, the Add Signer Name field will replace the Provider name field in the left pane. 
    • If the name in the Add Signer Name field needs to be edited, instructions to do so can be found on page 7 of the Mental Health Act Quick Start Guide
    • This functionality will be available in other eForms (e.g., Consent eForms) in the future. 
  • Two new MHA eForms now available:
    • Mental Health Patient Advocate Request Form
    • Competency at time of Admission/Renewal Form
  • Two new MHA workflows:
    • Release of Information (ROI): Using Quick Release and RightFax to fulfil MHA-related ROI requests (e.g., Patient Advocate Office).
    • Corrections, Amendments, and Addendums: How and when to properly print, annotate, re-scan, and update metadata for changes made to Forms.
    • Details of these workflows can be found in the Mental Health Act Quick Start Guide.
Users are welcome to use the PLY (practice) environment to familiarize themselves with these new changes prior to the change date. For questions or issues, please submit a ticket.
