THEATRE LIST

 

A theatre list may be printed showing all cases for a specific day at a specific hospital. Do this from the Tools menu on the Main Menu, Account Details and List of Accounts screens.
This can be used for future or past operating days.
The list is ordered by the Start time of the procedure. The start time may be entered without entering a stop time, if you need to specify an order for the list without knowing the times.
The list has 6 standard columns, and users can choose 4 additional columns to be shown.
IFC details and preoperative details can optionally be shown.

 

PREOP VISITS

 

Appointment dates and times may be stored for any account or estimate. Multiple appointments can be included.
Two additional fields allow entering further preoperative notes.
A Preop Visit List may be viewed or printed, showing all appointments on a specific day, along with relevant notes.

 

OPEN ACCOUNTS TALLY FOR GROUPS

 

New listing show a tally of all open account types for all doctors. Go to the List of Accounts > Summary menu, or the Eclipse Menu > Tools menu.

 

ACCOUNT NAVIGATION

 

The Medicare number search will find numbers matching less than 10 digits, e.g. entering 123456789 will find 1234567890 and 1234567891. This allows finding patients whose last Medicare digit has changed.
Added Medicare number to the search results window for the multiple provider search.
Added a search button to the List of Accounts and Payments toolbars to search any field.
When clicking from the List of Payments to the List of Accounts or Account Details screen, if the account matching the payment is not in the list, a message was given which requires clicking to dismiss. Removed this and replaced with a message that automatically disappears after 2 seconds. This enables the CTRL F (find) function to work better from the List of Payments screen.
When searching for an account, if the account is not in the current selection, AA automatically changes the selection to all accounts and continues searching. A brief message is given. This avoids having to click an extra dialog box, which would almost always be clicked.

 

GROUPS NAVIGATION

 

Added a one-click Select Provider button to the List of Accounts, List of Payments, Batch payments and Daily Activity Report screens, for easy access to other doctors' files.
All provider's account prefixes are shown on the Main Menu - double click to quickly change providers.
The List of providers can be reordered by the provider's surname (assumes surname is separated by a space).
Refresh table links option added to Select Provider form.
Fixed a bug where the multi provider patient search function failed with more than about 30 provider files.

 

STATUS LOG

 

Added the current username to the Status log.
The Status log for individual accounts records payment deletions, payment edits, fee changes, item additions/deletions, Eclipse claim/report deletions.
Status log entries can no longer be deleted for accounts, but can be deleted for estimates. This is in case a user wants to generate multiple estimates from one record, and the status log becomes irrelevant.
The Maintenance log now records data file updates, and registration details.

 

MISC UPDATES

 

New field for IFC Status added, with user-defined lookup list. See Estimates for details.
Notes for an individual part of a batch payment can be edited by double clicking on the Notes field. The same goes for a banked standard payment (don't need to unlock the record). The notes for a non-batch Eclipse payment still can't be edited as the ERA ID is required here.
When payments are entered, the current date and time is automatically saved in a new field called the DateRecorded. This is not shown on the screen, but can optionally be added to a custom datasheet on the List of Payments screen.
Added the BPay customer reference number to the field codes list.
A message is given if an operation date of more than 3 years ago is entered (to avoid accidental DOB entry).
The Compact All function shows before and after file sizes.

 

WEB UPDATING

 

Fixed a problem where loading a new program after a web update causes Access 97 runtime to crash.
If a program update is downloaded in the web update, an update prompt is given immediately instead of after reopening AA.
The new program file update prompt appears before data file relinking, to save startup time.
Forced group users to select a data file after updating the program version, to avoid clients automatically clicking Cancel and getting into data file troubles. Also disabled irrelevant buttons.
Revised web links and web update to work with new website.

 

BUGS FIXED

 

Removed [Surgeon] parameter box that appears when List of Accounts Activity Summary viewed.
Adjusted status updating so that if a copayment is unpaid after Eclipse is paid, the copayment is still deemed overdue at the appropriate time.
If premed shortcuts used on RVG page when no MBS items exist, the cursor did not move to the item number field.
Edit to Excel function failed when viewing some reports or raw data tables.
Some reports (e.g. all drs ERAs) did not display the standard Print Preview toolbar.
Automatic ordering of items failed if an item date was missing.
Hourglass did not appear for entire length of Compact All process.
AHE item in ASA RVG could not handle a unit value of 5 digits e.g. 100.5.
