Lytec 2008 New Features


Patient Information Tab

 

Three common use fields have been added to the Patient Information Tab. Fields previously created under the Custom Tab were not removed. These fields were created to increase efficiency:

 

 

Edit Appointment Window Layout

Appointment Tab

 

The Appointment Window Layout is now customizable.  Double-click the new top left grid to open the same Layout Editor that is used throughout Lytec.

 

Layout Editor

As with other grids, you are now able to add columns, change labels, change column order, and adjust column widths.

 

 

 

Delete Recall Appointments

Recall List

The Recall List can be found under the Activities Menu by selecting Recall List.  Previously Recall Appointments could only be deleted from Scheduler Pro.  Now they can be deleted from the Recall List by selecting the Recall and pressing the Delete button.

 

Patient Package

 

Practices often have a standard packet of documents that they require a new patient to read and/or fill out.  Such a New Patient Package could include a Notice of Privacy Policy with a corresponding Acknowledgement, Medical Release, Patient Information and History form, Super Bill, etc.  A New Patient Package was added to Scheduler Pro, which allows the practice to do the following:

 

•         Create customizable Report Package that can be printed by a single request

•         Allows for multiple reports to printed from a patient’s appointment

•         Right-click functionality added directly to the Scheduler

•         Patient Packages can consist of up to 10 custom report files

•         No filters will be presented to the user, since the patient package uses the selected appointment information to fill in the report

 

 

 

Print Patient Package Reports

Patient Package Tab

 

To open the Patient Package list, go to Settings>Preferences, and from the Preferences window, select the Patient Package tab.  By clicking the Add button, a Patient Package Report can be added.

 

Line Callout 3: Press the right arrow twice to open the Patient Package Screen.

 

 

Select Report

 

Select a file in the Custom Reports folder, and press Open to add it to the Patient Package. You will be returned to the patient package screen.

 

 

 

 

If you selected a .LCG file in the Open screen you will see the following prompt, asking if this is a Super Bill.

 

 

The application must perform a considerable amount of processes to generate a Super Bill, which differs from generic report. The other report types do not need additional processing, which explains why this prompt opens concurrently with the .LCG file extension.

 

Tips and Tricks

If the report is a Super Bill and the No button is selected, the application will not load the appointment information required by the Super Bill, resulting in blank fields in the report.

 

Print from Scheduler Pro

 

Select the appointment for Patient Package to print, and right-click to bring up the context menu for that appointment. Left-click on Print Patient Package here. Select the printer to print the Patient Package and click OK.

 

 

 

When utilizing custom reports, there are some cases where there are fields in the report that are not related to an appointment, generating the window below.

 

 

This particular error occurs if the No button is selected when a Super Bill is added to the Report Package, causing the application to exclude the appointment information required by the Super Bill, resulting in a report with blank fields.

 

Additional Report Changes

 

•         Patient Notes, when changed, have been added to the Audit Trail list

•         Bill Created Date added to Waiting Claims Report

•         Last Printed Date added to Pending Claims Report

•         Include Filters added to the Collection Module interface

•         Transaction Journal and Practice Analysis have include filters for Transaction Types
