Dear SIMMS Users,

We would like to inform you that SIMMS Enterprise will be upgraded to a new version. Below you will find details with regards to the new features and fixes that have been actualized with this update.

Statistics

Under the STATS tab on the CLINIC page, for users’ convenience we have added a new feature that allows users to run queries and generate statistics for either all doctors practicing under the same postal code, or one specific doctor practicing in different locations. Please make sure to use date filters along with either the postal code or doctor’s name.

Patient History - Cash to HC Patients Merged

We have re-designed the logic behind the way the system looks up for history of a patient (especially patients that used to be cash or immigration and have now acquired a Health Card). Previously the system looked up for patients’ history based on the HC or ID number. Moving forward the system looks up for history by last name, first name, HC/ID number, and DOB, and gives the best matches possible. Furthermore, the system takes into consideration multi-update of info for patients that have been entered as separate individuals. The system also prompts a user to merge patient files and/or update the existing information for the patient upon clicking on the button CHECK IN.

 Status – Typed

In efforts to optimize the system, we have re-factored the TYPED page. Now it is possible for users to apply a filter to display reports accordingly to the statuses -> failed to send, sending, sent, marked as sent, fax with CC.

WSIB Visits

We have added a new option for submitting WSIB claims via EDT to SIMMS. Users can now simply select the ‘WCB’ radio button and submit WSIB visit to EDT through SIMMS Billing Module. WSIB claims are treated the same way as RMB claims.
