Dear SIMMS Users,

We would like to inform you of a few additional fixes and new features that will soon be released. Please read below for details regarding the update.

New Functional:

Filter by Minimal Study – On page Ready to Bill you will now see a filter ‘Minimal Study’ that allows users to select and bill visits that have not yet reached status ‘Ready to Bill’. For example, if a user selects from the drop-down option ‘Dictating’ all visits in statuses equal to dictating and higher can be billed. Please note that once claims are created, changes to investigations and billing type CANNOT be made.

Patient Report Filter – It is now possible to filter the radiologists by last name in addition to license number on page ‘Patient Report’.

Panel – An updated version of the panel that displays images under ‘Link Files’ or ‘Images’ page is now available. The newer version allows for better printing as well.

OHIP HC Validation – We have made minor changes to HCV mechanism. Moving forward, HCV Icon (blue question mark) will only appear when field ‘HC’ is checked off and province of Ontario is selected. In addition, extra HC verification has been put in place. Now, it is possible to validate Health Cards that contain only 10 characters.

Report Export – On page ‘Archive’ we have added an option to export final reports in text and html formats in addition to pdf. User must click on the little arrow beside the button ‘Report’ to export.

Link Files – In the bin of files to link we display max 500 files. We have added an option for users who prefer to see additional files. Now the quantity must be selected and option ‘More’ clicked to see more than 500 files

Defect Fixes:

Duplicate Investigations – the bug that has caused duplication of investigations and billing codes after deletion of the studies is now fixed.

Unlinking of Images – defect that caused loss of images upon unlinking has now been resolved.

View Claims – Blue page in Billing Module under tab ‘View Claims’ that used to appear upon clicking on button ‘Select All’ has been fixed.

Patient Reports – A little defect that cropped the text upon running the Patient Report has been corrected.

If you have any question with regards to this release, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Sincerely,
SIMMS Team
