ChiroSUITE v5.22.0101 Released :)

v5.22.0101 is a major release adding in TELUS Health Integration, 3rd Party enhancements, and many many more enhancements!!  Here are the update details included in the update, but also here in case you are curious of the changes.  Call to schedule your update :)

*As always, please review your security settings regularly - we make every effort to not provide access to new features that should not be added, but ultimately you are responsible :) 
__ Extensive changes were made to the Patient Tracker screen to simplify information displayed.  Any user who previously had access to the "Patient Tacker - Billing Details" will be given access to the new "Patient Tracker - Additional Info" screen, any user who previously had access to "Patient Tracker - Patient Log" will be given access to the new "Patient Tracker - Patient Logs".  These screens now contain much more information, please review all your User's security settings! 

__ Added local ChiroSUITE Help file that responds to F1 on any screen 
__ Added printed ChiroSUITE Help Manual in the Help Menu 

Appointments/Schedules/Care Plans 
------------------------------------------------------ 
__ Added System Settings -> Schedules tab to include options to auto-expand the SpecDocs listings when opening an appt screen. 
__ Added "New Patient List with Care Plan/Future Appt count" report so you can get a list of new patients that have care plans or appts booked. 
__ Added "Include Call List" option to the Patient Recare List reports to provide a little further detail when reviewing patients falling through the cracks. 
__ Added ability to "Exclude patients with future booked appt" to "Patient Recare List" report, to help you get the information you specifically need. 
__ Added "Appt Count by Appt Type/Status by Date Range" report. 
__ Added Appt Statistics to the Calls/Stats tab on the left-hand side to give you an overview of the day.  We are open to suggestions on how to expand that information to be more useful or replace it with something more helpful - your suggestions are welcome! 
__ Added appt type border color & appt status colors to the Add/Edit Appt screen to help visually. 
__ Added [Resend] ability to the Cal Attachment setup in Patient Tracker to easily let you send all future appt cal attachments to a patient. 
__ Added new security permissions around "Delete Appointment (User Error)". Defaulted permissions based on existing user permissions for "Quick Cancel Appointments". 
__ Added new system setting for number of hours out to manually no show an appt 
__ Added new reports "OB (Online Booking) Appointment Summary" and "OB (Online Booking) Appointment Detail" 
__ Added Thermal version of the appt list report for clinics with thermal printers. 

__ Modified logon process, if you have saved the Visual Arriver to load, it will quietly stay closed if you have no appts for that day. 
__ Modified Add/Edit Appt screen to require default appt time as a minimum. 
__ Modified Appointment Report Statistics screen to be more usable, including sorting & labelling inactive prac types & appt types. 
__ Modified the ReviewWave & AppointmentReminders.com appointment reminder dumps to try to minimize missed reminders that occur with very little notice. 
__ Modified Cal Attachment codes to work better with some versions of Outlook. 
__ Modified "Block Off Time" to allow for multiple blocks within the same schedule time. 

__ Resolved issue in the Appt Wiz with specific scenarios throwing an error. 
__ Resolved SchdLoad error :) 
__ Resolved issue with setting/clearing Termination date on Appointment Type/Billing Setup 
__ Resolved very very rare bug with patient waiting list refresh when you set your practitioner's schedule to their last time interval before midnight. 


Billing/Payments/Items/Third Party 
------------------------------------------------------ 
__ Added ability to edit 3rd Party Payment Types through Utilities -> Accounting -> Payment Types. 
__ Added ability to default 3rd Party Payment Type in the Utilities -> System -> System Settings screen. 
__ Added Exam Date & Injury Description to Lawyer 3rd party setup. 
__ Added ClinicAid.ca integration. 
__ Added Items Received report to Reports -> Items Reports. 
__ Added Sales by City report to Reports -> Sales Reports. 
__ Added Credit Breakdown report to Reports -> A/R Reports. 
__ Added Credit Card icons to left hand menu so you can easily see when a patient has a credit card on file and what type it is.  You can launch, add/edit credit card info directly from there instead of needing to open the patient tracker.  All encryption security respected regardless. 
__ Added new Province field to WCB 3rd Party Payor Setup and set the initial value to "Alberta" (AB).  The province will be used to pull the corresponding WCB address on the WCB reports.   
__ Added option to print invoice after paying out credits. 
__ Added unique Receipt# to each printed receipt and "duplicate receipt" indicator when the receipt is printed on a subsequent day - these changes are to meet insurer requirements to avoid rejecting patient claims. 
__ Added Promotions to replace Credit/Debit in the Billing Adjustment screen.  Promotions should be less confusing from a reporting standpoint but also provide greater flexibility and control in how patients can use these non-financial items.  Promotions will appear as payments in all the payment related screens and reports, but not be included in payment totals to avoid paying practitioners for these non-financial "payments" unless you want to include them. 
__ Added "Sales by Age Range by Year (last 5 years)" report to provide an easy way to compare your age range sales for 4 years from year specified.  Age range categories are calculated by patient DOB year only but are modified for each year's sales, so that someone who is 65 this year will show in seniors' category but would be in adult category the previous years. 
__ Added AutoBill at EOD and Print Statement on checkout options to Extended Insurance, Lawyer and MVA payor setup screens.  Anything set to AutoBill will automatically batch together at the end of day processing.  Anyone setup with Print Statement on checkout will automatically print a statement on checkout - very useful for Huderite Colonies or any 3rd Party you setup and want to collect a signature from those treated. 
__ Added AutoBill 3rd Party process to EOD. 
__ Added Promotions and Account Credit tabs to the SOA screen 

__ Modified the size of the injury description to 50chars in 3rd Party Payr setup. 
__ Modified [+Payr] process to simply launch the Payr Setup form where you only have 1 Payr setup. 
__ Modified Patient Reports -> 3rd Party reports to work better. 
__ Modified 3rd Party Payment Receive screen to process patient billings & writeoffs for the same day the payment was received - so if you are backdating something the writeoffs & patient billings will line up properly. 
__ Modified Amex display and entry formats. 
__ Modified Patient Credit Pay Out to exclude non-financial credits.  Replaced Practitioner with Business Entity in Credit List. 
__ Modified receive payment screen to hide "Quick Move" button if no credits exist. Refresh the payment screen so that credits are available after credit transfer. 
__ Modified Item Setup by moving Taxable over to Patient/Payor Split and added options for specifying if an item is Taxable, Not Taxable or if the Tax is Included in the Price.  This also gives up the flexibility to set these up by Practitioner and Payer. 
__ Modified "Per Visit Limits" (PVL) setup.  PVL can now be defined by Practitioner & Item. 
__ Modified Item Types - set "Inventory Item" to "Products" and "Service / Non-Inventory" to "Services".  None of your items change or move, this was simply for more consistency in ChiroSUITE. 

__ Resolved issue in 3rd party billing adjustments where changes to the payr no longer saved. 
__ Resolved rare issue with "Sales by Item /with Profit" reports sometimes duplicating information (but totals were correct). 
__ Resolved issue with Audit info being removed after rollover processing. 
__ Resolved issue with Inactive items in SOAP Question/Response generating billing items 
__ Resolved issue where date expired selected from calendar would not always enable the [Save] button on certain 3rd party setup screens. 
__ Resolved issue on Billing Adjustments screen when removing payments from the "Transactions" tab. Added additional button to "Payments (only)" tab [Delete Selected Transaction/Payment] for removing individual transactions vs all tied to payment as currently is the case with the button under Payments listbox. 


Email/SMS 
------------------------------------------------------ 
__ Added ability to setup file attachments on email templates (including email reminder templates, but not SMS/text reminders). 
__ Added [NextApptDT] and [NextApptDetails] field codes to General Email templates so that you can easily create a next appointment style email to quickly send. 
__ Added […] button to the left of each template in the Email Template Usage screen to make it easier to find & edit the template you have setup :) 
__ Added validation to the mailing list's "Send Emails as Bulk CC" option to prevent issues when you are trying to send too many (about 300 emails is the limit). 

__ Modified Email screen to show Template name ahead of subject line to make it easier to find what you are looking for. 
__ Modified reminder screens to launch "Send Calendar Attachments" when closed if there are any calendar attachments to send. 
__ Modified Email screen to no longer save email attachments as whatever you are sending can be easily reproduced in ChiroSUITE and unnecessarily adds so many files to any backups you are running.  Files that were originally attached will be shown at the bottom of the email when you Resend or review the email.  If you need to retain attachments, please choose to CC or BCC yourself in the emails. 
__ Modified "Waiting List" Email Templates to SSIOwned to prevent deletes 

__ Resolved errors being generated when setting up/editing Email Templates. 
__ Resolved very rare issue with [DoIt  Later] emails when signature is too large. 


EOD/SOD Process 
------------------------------------------------------ 
__ Modified Send Calendar Attachments process to remove it from EOD/SOD process as it sometimes opened behind and caused issues.  Screen will now open after you send reminders (if there any calendar attachments to send).  This is a temporary fix until automation gets released later this year :)

__ Modified the patient referral system.  You can now have multiple referrals, the referrers don't need to be a patient to track address/phone/email, and you can track more specifically who they were referred to & what appt that was for so that you can track completion of the appts as well.  New referral list is available in the patient tracker under additional info.
