UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS FEBRUARY 2018

Dear VetOfficeSuite.com Users:  

In our efforts to continually improve VetOfficeSuite.com and the user experience, the following enhancements and improvements will be deployed on the morning of Thursday February 1, 2018.  Please be sure to clear the cache on all devices, including mobile devices, on the morning of February 1, 2018.  Instructions for clearing cache can be found at http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

For those of you using the most updated version of Google Chrome, instructions for clearing your cache can be found at Clearing Cache Google Chrome.  For convenience, it is only necessary to clear cached images and files.

CANINE AND FELINE DENTAL FORMS:

We are pleased to announce the creation of interactive dental forms for your canine and feline patients.  Users will now have the ability to create a dental form, document areas of concern, dental disease and extractions.  The form will print on two pages of 8.5X11 paper and can be emailed to clients following a procedure.  These forms are available for canine and feline patients and the dentition is mapped accordingly.  Simply click the mouse or use your finger on a tablet to highlight an area of concern.

THUMB NAIL IMAGES OF FILES IN THE DOCUMENTS AND IMAGES SECTION

In an effort to make it easier to find the images you wish to view, we have added thumbnails of all images and pdf documents in the documents and images section. You can now quickly and easily find the radiograph or ultrasound image you wish to view.

TICK BOX FOR CLIENTS WITHOUT EMAIL ADDRESSES

User may now tick a check box for clients that do not have email addresses. This will allow you to enter those clients into the system without requiring an email address.  A new report has been created named "Clients without email addresses".  This will allow you to identify those clients and communicate with them via telephone or regular mail.  NOTE: Clients that do not have email addresses will not receive automated email reminders for appointments, vaccines or preventatives.  Those clients will also not have pet portal access, as that requires an email address.  Be sure to click the SAVE button after selecting the tick box.

UPCOMING FEATURES:

Our development team is working hard to build new features to improve the user experience.  The following items are currently in development and on our testing site.  We will update you with expected deployment dates shortly.

• ANTECH Laboratory Integration:  Users will be able to create lab requistions from within VetOfficeSuite.com and have those results automatically populate into the patient record.
• Transfer patients from one owner to another
• Print all reports on iOS devices

NORTH AMERICAN VETERINARY CONFERENCE:

VetOfficeSuite.com will be exhibiting at the North American Veterinary Conference in Orlando Florida.  Stop by booth 3539 and visit with us.

Please contact us if you have any questions or if you have any ideas for more upgrades.  We hope you enjoy the latest features. Thank you for being a VetOfficeSuite.com User!

UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS OCTOBER 2017

Dear VetOfficeSuite.com Users:  

In our efforts to continually improve VetOfficeSuite.com and the user experience, the following enhancements and improvements will be deployed on the morning of Wednesday, October 18th.  Please be sure to clear the cache on all devices, including mobile devices, on the morning of October 18th.  Instructions for clearing cache can be found at http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

For those of you using the most updated version of Google Chrome, instructions for clearing your cache can be found at Clearing Cache Google Chrome.  For convenience, it is only necessary to clear cached images and files.

ABILITY TO SET THE TRANSACTION DATE:  Many users have requested the ability to edit the transaction date. This is particularly valuable for mobile users who may be entering transactions at a later time.  VetOfficeSuite.com now allows users to select the date when a transaction occurred.  Please see the video below.  Note that when a date in the past is selected, all transaction and reminders will be posted to that date.

ABILITY TO EDIT LOT NUMBERS:  When an item is transacted that requires a lot number (i.e.- a vaccine), users will now have the ability to go back into a saved transaction and edit the lot number.  This is a valuable tool if the lot number has been entered incorrectly, or if you need to enter a lot number at a later date.

MULTIPLE REMINDERS:  Multiple reminders that are due on the same day will now be condensed into one email that is automatically sent to the client.

DEBIT CARD:  Debit card has been added to the forms of payment section of the transaction screen.  For those users who accept debit cards, you can now track and report that method of payment.

PRESCRIPTION LABELS:  We now offer the ability to either save or print a completed prescription. This will be particularly valuable for those users that operate on mobile devices that are not connected to a printer.  After completing the prescription, click the save button to save the label to the transaction.  When working on an iPad or iPhone, please close the window so that you can return to the transaction screen.

   

Note the instructions to close the pop up window:

     

CODE INDICATING A PATIENT IS HOSPITALIZED:  We have added the ability to easily recognize patients who are hospitalized.  When performing a transaction for a patient, there are now system codes called "Hospitalization Check-in" and "Hospitalization Check-out"  Transacting this code will cause the text of the patient's name to be red.  When the patient checks out and the check-out code is transacted, the text will turn back to black.  It is important to still check the hospitalization box on the transaction screen if you would like to keep the invoice open.

QUICK APPOINTMENT BUTTON:  We have added the ability to create a "Quick Appointment"  This button will appear on all screens within VetOfficeSuite.com.  When a user clicks the Quick Appointment button, a pop up box will appear that requests four pieces of information.  Once that is filled out the user clicks "Book Appointment" and they are taken to the Create Appointment Screen.  When that data is filled out and the user clicks save, the client, patient and appointment are created.  The user then has the option of completing all the other required information at a later date.

FREE FORM TEXT FOR REFERRAL TRACKING: Users now have the ability to enter free form text in the referral section of the client information screen.  Simply select "Other" and then enter the appropriate text.  These "Other" referral sources will be reported on the "Referral Sources" report.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS ARE NOW TAPABLE ON A MOBILE DEVICE:  For mobile users we have added the ability for the telephone number to be tapable on the iPhone.  Simply open the client's information page and tap on the telephone icon next to the phone number.  This will prompt your iphone to initiate a call.

ADMIN ONLY PRICE CHANGES:  We have added a tick box to the "My Account" section of VetOfficeSuite.com called "Admin Only Change Transaction Prices"  When this box is ticked and your account is updated, only admin users will have the ability to change prices in the transaction screen.

REASON FOR VISIT ON THE POP UP WINDOW IN THE SCHEDULER:  When the user hovers the mouse over the scheduled appointment, the pop up box will now additionally contain "Reason For Visit".

MANUFACTURER: The manufacturer of a product has now been added to inventory and procedure reports.

FOLDER SORTING:  Users can now sort the folders in the Documents and images section. They may be sorted alphabetically by name or chronologically by date.  Simply click "Name" or "Date" to sort folders in ascending or descending order.

DEACTIVATE CATEGORIES AND ITEMS:  In order to preserve database integrity and reporting, we have added the ability to inactivate entire categories and individual items.  If an item is inactive, it will no longer appear as a selectable item in the transaction section.  When examining items in a category, users can select to view active or inactive items.

SALES TAX REFUND:  We have added a feature that now allows for the system to automatically calculate sales tax and refunds.  If an invoice is deleted or changed that included a sales tax addition, it will be reflected on the Taxes report.  If a user credits a client on a new transaction for an item that sales tax was charged on, when that invoice posts, it will include a sales tax refund that will also post to the taxes report.

Please contact us if you have any questions or if you have any ideas for more upgrades.  We hope you enjoy the latest features. Thank you for being a VetOfficeSuite.com User!

VACCINE CERTIFICATE AND REMINDER IMPROVEMENTS

Dear VetOfficeSuite.com community,

As we strive to continually improve the application, we have just released some improvements to the vaccine section in View Medical Records.  Please be sure to clear the cache on all devices that use VetOfficeSuite.com this morning.  Instructions for various devices and web browsers can be found at http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/

Please note the following changes.

1.  Visual Icon to Identify Vaccines entered through the "Add Existing" Portal:

We have added a visual icon to the vaccinations section so that you can quickly and easily identify vaccines that have been manually entered.

2.  UPDATING REMINDERS:

VetOfficeSuite.com will now automatically update previous reminders and replace them with new ones.  In the case example demonstrated below, the patient was previously vaccinated with a three year canine rabies and a DA2PP vaccine.  When those SAME vaccines are transacted again at a later date, the previous vaccines will be marked "UPDATED"  This will automatically update the reminder system to only send the new reminder and will cancel the old reminder for the previously administered vaccines.

3.CERTIFICATE IMPROVEMENTS

Printing of vaccine certificates has been improved to ensure that only the selected vaccinations appear on the vaccine certificate.  Remember, these certificates can be digitally signed within the system, and they can be printed, saved as .pdf files, or emailed directly to the client from our servers.

Thank you for using VetOfficeSuite.com. Your continued support is much appreciated.

Upcoming Reminders Added to the End of All Receipts-

As requested by several of our users, we have now added upcoming reminders to the end of the receipt.  This fantastic new reminder feature applies to the pets that appear on a particular invoice and will list the due dates for any upcoming vaccines, preventatives or procedures.  We think you will really love this new feature.

Email Vaccine Certificates-

Along with the previously released ability to instantly email invoice to clients, VetOfficeSuite users will now have the ability to quickly and easily email clients their vaccine certificates.  This is ideal for clients who may not have the time or the computer knowledge to access the pet portal.  Simply select the vaccines you would like to appear on the certificate and click “Email Vaccine Certificate” .  A PDF file will automatically be sent from our servers to the client email address on record.  Remind you clients to check their spam folder if the do not see the email in their inbox.  Doctors can have their signatures digitally entered into VetOfficeSuite and they will automatically appear on the vaccine certificate. 

E-Mail SOAPS, Client Communication, Forms, Releases, & Certificates

Nearly all of our forms now can be emailed to the client directly from VetOfficeSuite.com.  Emailed forms and certificates will be sent from our servers as a pdf attachment to the clients email address of record.

Added Manufacturer to the Inventory & Procedures Section 

In efforts to continually improve our inventory section, we have added a text field for manufacturer.  This will also now be exported on any inventory reports.

Improvements

Added “Endotracheal Tube Size” to the surgery report.

Reporting Enhancements

Miscellanous Item Report

Due to popular demand, we have created a report specifically for the Miscellaneous item option on the transaction.  This report will include the Date, Time, Client, Patient and user that transacted the miscellaneous item, along with the item, the cost or discount, and the amount.  We feel you will find this very useful, particularly for inventory and front desk controls.

Testimonial from Dr. Deirdre Chiaramonte, DVM, ACVIM, CCRT, CVA

"When I began my mobile veterinary practice I was not sure I could afford an electronic medical records program never mind learn how to operate one.

VetOfficeSuite.com has been a wonderful choice for me as the program is very, very user friendly and the information is presented in a straightforward manner.  It has made me much more efficient, organized and effective. I love that it is cloud-based for my house call practice making charting on the road and answering client calls MUCH easier with the information in my hand.

Having used multiple veterinary software programs while doing locums work, VetOfficeSuite.com has been the easiest to learn. The software is continually modified to accommodate user requests and enhance the offerings.  The support team is incredible in their support and attentiveness to my wants and needs. I am very happy with VetOfficeSuite.com and will certainly recommend it to others."
