  • ChiroPad / ChiroOffice:  The Chiro Suite standard error message handler now includes a print button for easy submission to technical support.

  • ChiroOffice:  The "negotiated payment agreement" is newly added to the financial window to describe payment agreements with patients.  Ideally, the language of this agreement should memorialize your conversation with the patient, so that the patient recognizes the agreement as his own words.  If a patient has a negotiated payment agreement, it will appear on the patient statement.  Source:  spy@LifeSystemsSoftware.com
  • ChiroPad:  Popup messages and projects have been newly inherited from ChiroOffice.  They are available under the Patient dropdown menu.  Source:  spy@LifeSystemsSoftware.com

You can only set or remove a blackout time frame when in a specific provider display. (Setting or removing when in composite view is not allowed, primarily because a user wouldn't reliably read the ending time for the appropriate provider.) 2. To set a blackout period, make sure a specific provider is selected. Then touch the beginning time. Hold the SHIFT key and touch the ending time (using standard Windows multi-select behavior). Then right-click over the time column and choose the menu item "Blackout Selected Range". You may also blackout a single time period by right-clicking and choosing "Blackout Selected Range". The blackout period will be indicated by a black background with green text. Anyone who used a computer terminal in the 1980's will appreciate this black/green reminiscence. 3. To delete a blackout period, move the mouse to the patient or treatment plan column and right-click over the initial "Blackout" comment. Choose "Reactivate Blackout Range". 4. Note that you may be blacking out a period that already has patients scheduled. The idea is to now identify those patients who may be scheduled in the blackout period, and re-schedule their appointments by moving to another time, or resolving them and rescheduling for another day. 5. The blackout schedules will be displayed in the all/composite view. It is likely to see alternate black, blue & white lines on an as-available basis. 6. It is worth re-iterating that the blackout schedules are displayed in all modes, but can only be set or removed when displaying a specific provider's appointment schedule.  Source:  spy@LifeSystemsSoftware.com
