SMS Enhancement

FYDO has introduced a new option within Patient Screen that allows patients to be marked as opted out of SMS communications. When this option is selected, the system will automatically prevent SMS messages from being sent to those patients during bulk SMS distributions.

When sending a bulk SMS, patients who have been marked as opted out of SMS communications will appear greyed out on the selection screen and cannot be selected to receive the message.

Custom Views Enhancement

FYDO has enhanced the flexibility of Custom View configuration. Users can now select any combination of fields, whereas previously the view was required to include the booking time and patient name. This update allows greater control over which information is displayed and removes the need for a fixed field order. However, the time field must still be positioned first if the facility wants to utilise the List-Reordering feature.

Emailing Invoices via FYDO

When sending invoices from the Episodes Screen, utilising the Invoice Options > Invoice Copy feature, the email will now be delivered using the users own email address. This feature will improve functionality and make it easier for facilities to view sent emails. Setup information and instructions on how to utilise this feature are available via the links below:

• Setting up to Email from FYDO
• Emailing an Invoice from FYDO

Appointment Screen Improvement

When hovering over a theatre to view the list of doctors scheduled for that theatre on the day, any cancelled list will now be clearly indicated with a strikethrough in the doctor list. This visual enhancement improves visibility and helps users quickly identify cancellations.

User Group Settings

FYDO has expanded the options available under the Appointment heading. Previously, users were limited to a single option that allowed the creation and deletion of Custom Views only. This has now been enhanced to include the ability to create, edit, and delete all views. These additional options provide greater flexibility in managing views, allowing staff to create their own customised views, while also enabling administrators to control permissions and determine which staff members are authorised to modify all views which will affect all users.

Theatre Roster Improvement

Previously, the Theatre Roster allowed users to bulk move an entire theatre list to a new date; however, this functionality was limited, as moves to or from the current day were not supported. This capability has now been enhanced to allow theatre lists to be bulk moved to and from the current day, providing greater flexibility in schedule management.

Invoice Date Changes

When an invoice is reversed, the Date of Service was previously set to match the account period date. This behaviour has now been updated so that the Date of Service on the reversal will align with the Date of Service of the item being reversed. This change does not impact any revenue calculations and will only affect the Invoice Excel report.

Clinical Added to Appointment Right-Click Menu

You can now access Clinical directly from the right-click menu on a patient’s appointment.
Selecting Clinical will take you straight to the Clinical tab within the patient’s file, making it faster and easier to view and update clinical notes without extra navigation.

Referral Expired Warning

When cutting and pasting an appointment to a new date/time, FYDO will now warn you if the referral attached to the appointment is expired for the new appointment date/time. This helps prevent booking issues and ensures referrals remain valid before the appointment is saved.

New Patient Summary Panel Across Clinical Screens

A new Patient Summary Panel has been added across all screens under the Clinic tab within a patient file. This panel provides quick visibility of key patient details, including demographics, allergies, alerts, notes, and document alerts. This ensures important information is easily accessible at all times.

OEC Description Enhancement

When running an OEC check, the Documents section previously displayed only “OEC” as the description. It will now also display the associated item number, making it easier to navigate the documents and quickly locate the correct file.

Other Services Invoice Improvement

FYDO has enhanced the Create Other Services Invoice feature. Users can now append charges to an existing invoice rather than creating a new one each time. This improvement is particularly beneficial for facilities that add services throughout a patient’s stay, as it allows all charges to be consolidated into a single invoice at discharge instead of generating multiple invoices.

OEC Description Enhancement

When running an OEC check, the Documents section previously displayed only “OEC” as the description. It will now also display the associated item number, making it easier to navigate the documents and quickly locate the correct file.

Outstanding Balance Alert

Previously, when the outstanding balance was configured under Settings > System Configuration, a pop-up alert informed staff of any outstanding balance during the booking process.

This same alert has now been implemented during patient admission, ensuring that any outstanding balance from a previous admission is not overlooked.

New Body Stats Tokens

FYDO has introduced four new tokens related to the patient’s Body Stats:

• Patient’s BMI
• Patient’s Height
• Patient’s Weight
• Patient’s Body Stats Date

These tokens have been added to the Tokens Wiki in Tokens – Hospital under Episode Appointment Details.

Cluster Coding

Fydo has implemented a drop-down box to accommodate the Diagnosis Cluster Code ID when coding. It will be mandatory to assign a DCID code from 1st July 2026. Please see link below for more information.

New Tokens

FYDO has introduced two new tokens related to My Health Record (MHR):

• Episode MHR Consent
• Patient MHR Consent

These tokens have been added to the Tokens Wiki under Tokens – Hospital and Tokens – Patients.

Invoice Export Report Additions

FYDO has added two new columns to the Invoice Export Report. The new columns are:

• Health Fund Membership Number
• DRG

In the exported file, the Health Fund Membership Number will appear in column K, and the DRG will appear in column AR.

Additional fields for Procedure defaults

Facilities can now enter Fasting Food and Fasting Fluid details for a specific Procedure as a default, removing the need to re-enter this information on the Edit Appointment screen. These details will automatically populate whenever the procedure is selected.

Unbilled Revenue Report Addition

Two new columns have been added to the Unbilled Revenue Report relating to GST:

• Inv (Gross) was renamed
• GST is now displayed
• Inv (Net) is now displayed

These enhancements were introduced in response to increased interest from facilities seeking clearer visibility of revenue figures both including and excluding GST. We’ve also improved the report’s performance for greater efficiency and updated the overall layout to enhance readability.

Additional Print List Option

FYDO now includes a new feature that allows users to print the Theatre List in Booking Time order. This enhancement is designed to improve workflow efficiency and provide clearer visibility of scheduled bookings.

Bed Tracker Shortcut

In Bed Tracker, we have introduced a new shortcut option that allows users to navigate directly to the Theatre screen by right-clicking on a patient. This enhancement is intended to streamline workflow and improve ease of access.

Qld Public Patients Improvement

When admitting a patient, updating the ‘Transferred From’ field will automatically populate the relevant hospital information for a contracted patient. However, contract types can vary between hospitals and between different contracts.

To accommodate this, we have added a new Contract Type section under Settings > Hospitals. When setting up a new local contracting hospital, you can now manually select the appropriate contract type, ensuring the system populates accurate for every admission and populates the correct data.

Documents Enhancement

Users are now able to tick Checklist items as they import or edit Documents that have been loaded. This feature allows users to easily tick certain boxes, e.g. IFC Signed as they are uploading the signed IFC, instead of then having to go back to the appointments screen to check the item.

Ordering SMS Credits

It is now even easier to order SMS Credits with a new dedicated location in FYDO:

For previous updates, please visit https://wiki.fydo.cloud/updates-clinic/

Procedure Default Enhancements

Facilities can now also set a default Secondary Anesthetic Type for any procedure added in Settings > Procedures, alongside all the other defaultable fields. This enhancement makes it even easier and faster to book patients into FYDO.

Ordering SMS Credits

It is now even easier to order SMS Credits with a new dedicated location in FYDO:

Report Enhancement

FYDO has introduced an enhancement across multiple reports, adding a date range dropdown that allows users to select a specific reporting period. This functionality mirrors the feature recently implemented in the Episode Report.

The enhanced date selection is now available for the following reports:

• Revenue Report
• Other Services Revenue
• Unbilled Revenue Report
• Trial Balance
• Payments

Medical Record Retention Improvement

FYDO has introduced a new feature that enables facilities to easily identify which files are eligible for culling within a specific month. Users can now filter the Medical Retention Report based on Admission Date, or Discharged Date, based on their requirements. Allowing them to streamlining record management and retention processes.

Unbilled Revenue Report Enhancement

FYDO has enhanced the Unbilled Revenue Report. The MBS Item Numbers, from the first theatre visit, are now included in the Excel Raw Data export for greater transparency and ease of analysis. This new information will appear starting in column AD when run in summary and in column AE when run in detailed.

Summary:

Appointment Report Enhancement

The Appointment Report now includes the Day Category classification in the Excel Raw Data export. This new field will appear in column AR when run in summary and detailed and will assist facilities in determining if the episode was a Day Only (D/O) or In-Patient (I/P) admission.
