Location settings [US-specific]
With the integration of Avalara
AvaTax, location addresses are now validated to ensure accuracy and provide
precise tax calculations.
Workflows
Users can now customize workflows by editing steps
descriptions and titles displayed within the tooltip that appears
on hover over an (i) icon.
Marketing management
Users can now configure Lead
sources that appear as a dropdown list in the Leads/Patients modules.
Patient
eRS referrals:
You can now edit the GP on eRS referrals in the
Open, On Hold, or Aftercare status. This functionality extends to eRS referrals
that have been migrated from Sycle. Any errors in referrals can now be easily corrected.
Archiving/Unarchiving:
Archiving and Unarchiving actions are now performed from the Patient or Lead Summary tab, where the
archive/unarchive button has been conveniently relocated. You can view the Summary
page for archived records directly from Patient/Lead list or an associated
appointment.
Patient migration:
To avoid errors during data migration, archived records may contain several
duplicate patients or leads sharing the same first name, last name, and date of
birth. However, all active
(unarchived) records must be unique.
Address Validation [US-specific]:
Integration with Avalara AvaTax ensures accurate tax calculations by validating
patients’ addresses. The validation is mandatory for the patient’s billing
address.
Patient sale:
- The ordering process has been integrated into the Product Sale flow. The invoice system now retrieves a list of available serial numbers from the Inventory, including the Available and Reserved By Order statuses. Filtering ensures that Reserved By Order serial numbers are only shown to the patients who ordered the item(s).
- During the product sale process, the inventory system updates the statuses of serial numbers (SN) to support the Reservation flow.
[US-specific]
- Product sale functionality has been specifically designed to meet the needs and requirements of the US users. As a result, US clients can seamlessly create product sales and easily manage associated tasks, including adding quotes, invoices, delivery notes, and credit notes.
- Calculation adjustments (including Price-books, Discounts, and Taxes) have been integrated into the US Product sale functionality.
- After generating an invoice, users can allocate payment amounts for patients and third-party
payers, ensuring accurate financial tracking.
- Rather than applying payments directly to sales documents like quotes or invoices, users have the flexibility to allocate payments to specific products. This approach ensures precise financial management and allows payments to be applied at various stages of a product sale, including quote deposits, invoice payments, and credit note refunds.
Scheduler
Time range auto-scrolling according to working hours has been implemented for faster scheduling. Now the system automatically adjusts the scrolling view to match the specialist's or location's schedule.
Finance
Invoice templates [US-specific]:
This feature enables users to generate a printable version of an invoice tailored for the US market. All necessary information is included in the invoice to meet business and legal requirements, providing a comprehensive and professional document for users in the US.
Claims [US-specific]:
- It is now possible to create Claims specifically for the US. This process involves preparing Claim data, validating it, and printing the Claim form.
- A dedicated page within the customer environment has been developed, showcasing all created claims. Users can effortlessly manage, sort, and filter the list of claims.
- Users have the ability to manually update the status of Claims, transitioning them from Draft to either Approved or Rejected for processing purposes.
- Basic prefill and validation are now available for the information used in the US claim form.
- ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) and CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes have been integrated with invoicing. Specific ICD-10 and CPT codes can be assigned to appointments. These assigned codes play a crucial role in the claiming process, ensuring proper reimbursement and compliance with healthcare regulations.
Tax codes [US-specific]:
The Avalara AvaTax integration enables users to calculate taxes for the US country layer. Having set up the Avalara configuration, users can assign Tax codes via Environment settings to achieve more precise calculations.
Inventory
Stock management
Users
can now return an available serialized stock item to a supplier using the 'Return to supplier' option in the three dots menu.
Order management
Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) Implementation:
Unique SKUs can now be assigned to products, streamlining order management. The SKU is displayed when an item is added to the order. You can import and export XLSX files with SKUs In Environment settings.
New Order Statuses:
New,
more transparent statuses for orders and items keep users informed about
purchase progress. Order statuses are Draft, Submitted, Completed,
and Cancelled. Order item statuses include Draft, In
progress, Cancelled, Shipped, Delivered, Accepted,
and Rejected.
New Order Item Fields:
The order item fields were extended to
include the Delivery number, Delivery date, Shipped
date, and Note. These fields are editable and
non-mandatory.
Partial Delivery:
This new feature allows for
split shipments and separate acceptance or rejection of order items. It is
particularly useful when the entire order cannot be fulfilled or delivered
at once. This functionality ensures flexibility in managing orders and
improves the efficiency of the delivery process.
Invoice Reference Field:
An optional field for the Invoice
Reference number has been added to order details. This field can be used
upon accepting or completing an order item.
Patient Item Reservation [US-specific]:
Users can now reserve an item for a specific
patient in their order. The reserved item will only be available for that
patient and not for others in the Patient sale module. The new status 'Reserved by order' in Stock management
indicates such items. Users can revert the item to the 'Available status' by clicking 'Add to stock'.
