v1.6.5 Release

Version 1.6 of METL has arrived!

This release adds a bunch of new data loads, improves view and data loading performance, adds additional type safety with PGGen and adds initial capability upon which we will be building out patient and provider matching.

New Features​

  • Table updates to support the rest of the EDI 837 spec. This makes it much easier to query all types of data in the database since each field now has columns and rows rather than JSON fields.
  • Table updates to support patient and provider matching. We're building our matching UI based on these tables.
  • Performance improvements to views, tables and queries: Now takes about 1/2 the time to load member data through the member views in our environment due to fewer and simpler joins.
  • PGGen - we were originally planning to do GraphQL for our API engine, but couldn't find a good solution that fully met our goals. We chose PGGen instead which will ensure the same sort of query safety and ease of use through an API. Our current API has been converted to use PGGen and it is working well for us.
  • Update to csvloader to run analyze after loading data so that loads don't continue to slow down as new data gets added. Previously, the only way that statistics were updated was through AWS automated tools that didn't always run at the ideal times, making loading slower.

New data loads​

  • Consociate eligibility.
  • All JPF history data files load now.
  • All GPA eligibility and claims files (previously some errored).
  • Aither eligibility.
  • Consociate eligibility.
  • Allied claims and eligibility.
  • VHBA claims.

Bug fixes​

  • NULL solution name error on empty input files has been made more clear.
  • Edison Healthcare renamed to Edison Health Solutions.
  • EBMS load fixes.

Patch releases​

Migration fix for claim_member. Previously the migration was not generating a unique list of correct IDs based on the new primary key which caused some migrations to fail.

1.6.3​

Update migration for Health Rosetta.
