Dear SIMMS Users,

We would like to inform you that SIMMS Enterprise has been upgraded to a
new version. Below you will find description to a number of new features that
have been actualized with this update.

Health Card Validation

Health Card Validation Service is now part of SIMMS. It is now
intergraded and ready to be set up for those interested. Adding this service
for a small additional monthly fee will save you time and money in the long run
and prevent EH2 errors and fraud. The validation is performed as simply as
clicking on an icon at the Check-in page. Once HC is validated, it could be
traced through the Edit page.

Billing Reports

It is now possible to use Advance Filtering for Clinic Remittance and
Estimated Radiologist Remittance Reports under the Billing Reports page. The
user can generate customizable and more flexible reports to meet particular
needs. For example filters could be applied in such a way that total sums will
be generated only for specific billing codes.

EDT Exchange Status

The issue of being unable to switching with the arrows between pages on
EDT Exchange Status page has been resolved with this release.

New Notes

The Internal Notes functional has been re-worked. It is now impossible
to edit a previously entered comment/note; a user can only add an entry. Also
upon entering new information to the Notes, the time and user making that entry
are logged. Furthermore, the Notes section/button will be highlighted red if
the entry has been made within the last month. Please remember that these notes
are internal, thus they are not visible to referring doctors or external users.

New Statistics

We have re-worked the statistics module. The reports that are generated
along with the sums for visits and investigations are now much more precise. We
will be sending out a mini-manual on the new and improved statistics within the
next week.

CCs and Date Faxed on Status

We have implemented the functional that allows you as a user to view the
date and time of when the fax was sent out. To do that, you have to scroll over
a specific visit in the fax/email status section. Additionally, from now on,
when you mark a visit as sent (hand delivery or fax it manually); an icon is
going to indicate that it has been marked as sent.

Quebec Clients

New functional with the ability to modify prices and change/add RAMQ
modifiers to generate proper statistics is almost ready. With the next release
it should be available for the users.

W4 SLI

The W4 SLI error that you see in claim details for billing is being
worked on for Echo codes. The facility number indicated in the claim that goes
out with the billing code should be fixed with the next release.

Best Regards.

SIMMS Team
