What’s New in ResQ

New

• Attestation: programs can now ask residents to attest their duty hours. Program administrators enable it per program, set a start date and reminder cadence, and attested shifts are locked against further edits. Residents receive reminders in the app.
• Meeting check-in support in the portal for programs that record meeting attendance, with a meeting attendance report and roster export.

Improved

• Shifts added by hand in the portal now sync to MedHub like recorded shifts.
• Program administrators see a clear trace when a shift was closed automatically rather than by a WorkZone™ exit.

Fixed

• Short shifts recorded shortly after an entry no longer overwrite the matching MedHub record.

New

Check in to a meeting in seconds. If your program uses ResQ for meeting attendance, the dashboard now shows a Meetings card. Tap it, type the 4-digit code shown in the room, and check in. You get a confirmation with the meeting name, where it is being held and the time you checked in. When a meeting you can join starts, ResQ sends a notification; tapping it opens the check-in screen. If your program does not use meeting check-in, nothing changes.

Fixed

• New administrators invited by email are no longer asked to change a password they never had.

New

• Edited Logs Report: every manual change to a duty-hour record, with who made it and why.
• A reason is now required for every manual hours edit, chosen from a fixed list.
• The shift-merge gap (how long a step-out can be before a shift is split) is now an institution setting, between 30 minutes and 3 hours.
• Broadcast: programs can save and reuse announcement templates.
• An Updates tab on the institution dashboard shows ResQ news inside the portal.

Improved

• The WorkZone™ list warns administrators when a geofence is too small for phones to detect reliably.
• Email images are now served from ResQ’s own host.

Fixed

• Broadcast push delivery failures on a small number of institutions.

Security

• Credentials moved out of the application package into protected configuration; a JSON library upgraded for a published advisory; the help form no longer includes device push tokens.

Improved

• Entry-side dwell: a WorkZone™ entry is confirmed only after a short dwell, which reduces drive-through shifts near small geofences.

Fixed

• Follow-ups from the August duty-hour recording incident, including the alerting that would have caught it sooner.

New

• MedHub Sync 2.0: a user-keyed sync queue with a weekly reconciliation of MedHub against ResQ.
• Program-administrator sync from MedHub for institutions that enable it.

Improved

• The nightly cycle no longer re-runs on application restarts.

Fixed

Location reliability: fixes for phones that stopped recording after an operating-system update, and clearer in-app guidance when Precise Location or battery settings prevent recording.

Improved

Stability and sign-in improvements following the move to one-time email codes.

New

Announcements: messages from your program appear in the app, with read receipts for your coordinator.
