Build: 1.0.99.0

NEW FEATURES
1. Patient Menu; Modal Screens
Now from any patient sub screen (clinical, dispense, sales orders etc) you can open the sales, dispense, orders or direct debit screen modal (as a dialog on top of your current screen).
N.B. Not available from the main patient screen.

How: Click on the patient menu on the top bar. And select the ‘Modal Screens’ option
Reason: To give greater visibility of a patient’s previous orders and sales from anywhere (without closing the screen you are on) Handy when in clinical records or dispense and you want to see the patient’s previous sales or order history.

This enhancement was part of the optional update available from 22nd Feb 2024, but is now a mandatory update for any machine not yet updated.

ENHANCEMENTS
1. Patient Search; Design changes
• Alternate row shading
• Slightly taller rows
• Highlighting the selected row
• Larger options menu button.

Reason: to help with incorrect selections when clicking on the patient.

2. Patient Search; New Features
• New* Patient button From the appointments screen clicking this button will make the selected patient the current patient and load their details to the main patient screen. (this will not be allowed if a sub patient module is the active screen (sales, exams, dispense etc) but you will still get the option to load the patient edit screen which will allow you to edit the patient details.



Reason: The appointment search is designed for dragging a patient to an appointment slot, but some users were confused as the search looks the same as the patient screen search (intentionally). And so when they clicked on a patient thinking it would select the patient then nothing happened because it was waiting for them to drag the patient to a slot. Now using the using the appointments search you can click the PX button and load that patient as the active patient.

• New* ‘Edit This Patient’s Details’ on the option menu.
This will allow you to edit the details of any patient without making them the active patient.

Reason: Edit any patient details without moving from the current patient you are dealing with.

This enhancement was part of the optional update available from 22nd Feb 2024, but is now a mandatory update for any machine not yet updated.


3. Create / Send Communications
