Changes in 3.9.3        July 6, 2005

1.  There was a change in the allergy check system to make it faster.

2.  You can now send the ASAP data to PK Software (This is for diagnosing data/information).

3.  When you add a new account for a patient the credit card information is now copied to the account.

4.  You can now delete an allergy that is assigned to a chemical.

5.  When printing a formula worksheet the software now only prints the STERILE information on the bottom the page if the formula is checked as a sterile item (Formula first tab).

6.  When filling a prescription for a generic drug, you can now automatically print the brand name drug on the Rx label.   There are two fields available.  The first is just the name and strength of the brand.  (I.e.  PROZAC 20MG).  The second is a message ('Generic for ___________(the name and strength)).    These fields work on the linking mechanism of speed code and B/G code.  These must be set to link the brand and generic drugs.   These fields can be placed anywhere on the Rx label where there is room.

7.  There was a problem in the USE DEFAULT PRICING for the CPM users.  This is corrected.

8.  If you use the credit card billing module, the software will now get the MMYY expiration date regardless of what date format is set in Windows.

9.  When you make a new from old prescription, the date last filled is now added to the prescription note.

10.  We added a simple doctor edit.  NOTE:  Using the simple doctor edit by-passes all validation checks that would normally occur when adding or editing a doctor.  Not all fields are available for editing.

11.  We added a simple patient edit.  NOTE:  Using the simple patient edit by-passes all validation checks that would normally occur when adding or editing a patient.  Not all fields are available for editing.

12.  In the simple edits we've added the merge record button.  This will allow you to merge records.

13.  When refilling a prescription that has no refills you are asked if you want to change refills.  If you add refills, the software now goes to the refill screen and starts the refill process.

14.  PCCA CPM users:  If you fill a prescription and select "00. NOT A CPM CODE", the next time you refill the prescription it will no longer prompt for a valid CPM code.

15.  Rx history window changes:  F2 now starts a new Rx.  F3 starts a refill.   F5 edits the patient.

16.  Formula edit window.  On the clinical tab, you can now press F10 to print the patient advisory leaflets.

17.  The Simple Formula Edit grid has been redone to allow for quicker loading of formulas.

18.  Users of PC Charge (credit card module):  There is a new DESCRIPTION field on the credit card billing screen.  You can any information (Rx number, patient name, etc.)  This information is printed on the credit card report.

19.  When refilling a prescription and you try to dispense more than quantity owing, you will have a message displayed to you.  You now have the choice to increase refills at this point.

20.  When refilling a prescription and the quantity of the last dispensing is different than the refill quantity you will have a message displayed and asked what quantity you want to dispense.
