Summary

4976Patient Record

The following enhancements have been implemented to improve visibility, navigation, and overall efficiency within the Family Management window:


  • Recall Date Visibility: dates are now accessible by hovering over the 'Recalls’ label. This allows users to quickly view important recall information without opening additional screens, reducing clicks and saving time during patient review.


  • Direct Access to Patient Transactions: The patient balance amount is clickable, providing a direct link to the Patient Transaction window. This streamlines navigation by enabling immediate access to financial details, eliminating the need to manually search for the patient’s transaction history and improving workflow efficiency.


5004AppointmentsWhen reviewing and confirming online bookings, a new hover option is now available. This displays the suggested patient’s address, phone numbers, and email addresses, making it easier to select the correct patient record.

Additional options have been introduced to allow patient-supplied information to be quickly reviewed and updated or added directly to their record.

5406Appointments

An enhancement has been introduced when confirming online booking requests to ensure the allocated time aligns with the selected appointment reason:


Appointment Length Validation


When confirming an online booking request, the system now checks whether the scheduled slot can accommodate the full duration required for the requested appointment reason. If sufficient time is not available, the system will default to using the originally requested slot length.

5824Patient RecordThe patient notes table layout has been updated, with the creation date and time now displayed as the first column. This change improves readability and makes it easier to review notes in chronological order.

Slot Extension Behaviour


When an appointment slot is extended, the system now intelligently fills any remaining gaps to keep the schedule aligned with the days default slot lengths.


Example:

  • You extend an appointment from 15:00 to 16:20 (total of 80 minutes).
  • The clinic is open until 17:00.
  • Standard appointment slots are 30 minutes.


What happens next:

  1. After the extended appointment ends at 16:20, there is still time remaining in the schedule until closing (17:00).
  2. The system then:
    • Creates a standard 30-minute slot from 4:30 to 5:00 (matching the normal slot length).
    • Fills the gap between 4:20 and 4:30 with a short “filler” slot (10 minutes in this case).
6294VouchersTo support organisations with practices across multiple regions, vouchers can now be downloaded based on the region configured in the branch settings.
6349Appointments

Non-Bookable Slots – Tooltip Enhancement


Hovering over a non-bookable appointment now displays a tooltip showing who marked the slot as non-bookable and when.


Users can quickly view the user and timestamp associated with a non-bookable slot directly from the appointment screen. This improves transparency and accountability.

6377Recalls
Updated the messaging shown when dismissing recalls to clearly indicate whether the action will apply to all recalls or only the selected items.
6378DashboardsUpdated the clinical dashboard so that AER and DER calculations now include only sight exam records, ensuring improved accuracy and consistency in reported metrics.
6384Dispense

Payments – Multiple Outstanding Receipts Prompt


When taking a payment against multiple receipts with outstanding balances, the system now displays a prompt to notify the user.


This improves clarity during payment processing, helping users avoid mistakes and ensuring payments are allocated correctly. It also reduces the risk of overlooking outstanding balances and supports more accurate financial handling.



6385Patient RecordThe appointments section now features a table view, offering a clearer and more structured overview of past and future appointments, including their status (failed / cancelled / upcoming / attended).
6392OrdersThe tray number has been added to the table on the 'All Orders' page.
