FYDO has now implemented the display of ‘Procedure Notes’ and ‘Other Notes’ in the top header across all screens, providing a permanent and easily accessible solution for viewing across multiple interfaces.
Improvement to QLD State Specific Data
FYDO has been updated to automatically populate the insurance status for public patients in QLD, as shown on the Admission screen below. This enhancement supports improved accuracy and efficiency in data extract submissions.
FYDO Clinic Update – 02/10/2025
Addition to Doctors
In addition to a provider number, doctors are also assigned a prescriber number. Facilities can now record this information directly within the doctor’s profile, eliminating the need for separate spreadsheets. This enhancement will also support future initiatives related to clinic prescribing.

Enhancement to Episode Stats Export
FYDO has added the Referring Doctor’s Specialty to the Reports > Episode Stats > Excel – Raw Data Export, enabling facilities to utilise this information more effectively. The information is shown in column BO of the export file.
FYDO Clinic Update – 25/09/2025
New Waitlist Feature
When adding a patient to the waitlist, you’ll now see a new tick box option: “Transfer notes into appointment.”
If this box is ticked, any notes you enter at the time of adding the patient to the waitlist will automatically carry across to the patients appointment when made from the waitlist.
A new improvement has been made regarding the addition of certificate reasons in patient records. In the Settings tab, you will now find an option for Certificates, where you can define and add your certificate reasons.
Once the reasons are added, you will have the option to select from a drop-down menu when adding a certificate to the patient’s file. While this new feature provides a pre-defined selection, please note that you will still have the flexibility to free-type any additional text as needed.
Update to Patient Alerts
FYDO has now aligned the functionality of Patient Alerts with that of Patient Allergies. When “NIL” is entered in the Patient Alerts section, it will no longer be displayed on the appointment screen, as it is deemed not applicable.
Episode Stats Date Range Addition
A new feature has been added to the Episode Stats section under Reports. When you click on the date, FYDO now provides the option to search data from specific time periods via a button. The available time periods include:
Current Week
Current Month
Previous Week
Previous Month
Current Quarter
Current Year
Previous 3 Months
Previous Quarter
This enhancement is designed to streamline your reporting process and make it easier to retrieve data for the desired time frames.
Change in Episode Stats Re-Admission
Episode stats can now show re-admission within a stipulated number of days.
Enhancement to Medical Retention Record
In the Medical Retention Record section under Reports, a new column has been added to the export functionality. When exporting this document to Excel, you will now see a dedicated column displaying the procedure notes.

Upcoming Layout Change
As part of the upcoming major update scheduled for 21 September 2025, the Appointment Screen will feature a refreshed layout. A preview of the new design is shown below.

FYDO has introduced a new feature within the Theatre Screen that allows users to quickly view procedure notes. As shown in the image below, a yellow “Show Proc Notes” icon has been added. By hovering over this icon, you can see a preview of the notes entered for the procedure.
This enhancement is particularly valuable in facilities where nurses and doctors primarily rely on the Theatre Screen, as it eliminates the need to refer back to the printed list, providing faster and more efficient access to critical information.
New Token
FYDO now includes a token for Gender. Please see below for details on the newly added token.
Gender ID = <<patGender2>> Gender Description = <<patGender2Desc>>
For a complete list of available Patient tokens, please refer to the FYDO Wiki Manual via the link below:
FYDO has enhanced the Episode Stats Report to incorporate Body Stats, one of our latest features. The Excel Raw Data Report now includes four additional columns: Height, Weight, BMI and Stats Date.
Print List Enhancement
FYDO has introduced a new tick-box option when printing lists, allowing you to generate lists exclusively for patients with Food Instructions entered to identify special dietary requirements. This enhancement provides a more efficient way to identify and manage patients’ specific needs.
FYDO Hospital Update – 28/08/2025
Billing Status Addition
FYDO has introduced a new ordering option within the Billing Status Report. When the Report Type is set to Show Not Billed Only, a new Order By field will become available. This feature functions identically to the Order By option in the Incomplete Report and will default to Alphabetical ordering.
New Option in Casebase Settings
FYDO has introduced a new column titled Ignore Step Down in the Settings > Health Fund Fees > CasebaseFees tab. This column is a tick box, similar in function to the existing GST column.
This enhancement addresses scenarios where certain facilities require the Procedure Only fee to be calculated at 100%, even when the item is listed as a secondary or subsequent procedure. However, as this rule does not apply universally to all item numbers within the Casebase list, some of which still require percentage-based step downs. The new tick box provides the flexibility to manage these exceptions on an item-by-item basis.
If you need to upload the Casebase import file, the new field will be located in column J. Additionally, both the PDF and Excel spreadsheet outputs have been updated to include the ‘Ignore Step Down’ column.
FYDO Hospital Update – 21/08/2025
Exporting Fund Fees
We’ve made an enhancement to the Settings > Health Fund Fees section. The previous “Print” option, located in the top right-hand corner, has been updated and renamed to “Export To”. This new functionality now allows you to export Health Fund Fees not only as a PDF, but also as an Excel spreadsheet, providing greater flexibility and convenience.
Bed Tracker Addition
We’ve introduced an additional option to the Bed Tracker screen for the overnight hospitals. When selecting the “Print Handover” button in the top right-hand corner, you will now have the ability to print the handover by doctor.
This enhancement ensures that doctors only view information relevant to their own patients, improving efficiency and maintaining patient confidentiality.
FYDO Clinic Update – 14/08/2025
Merge Practices Feature
Facilities now have the ability to merge Practices. This enhancement streamlines workflow and improves data management by providing a simple way to consolidate multiple practices and maintain a cleaner, more organised database. You will find this merge feature in Settings > Practices > Select Practice.
Permissions for this feature can also be managed within User Groups under Settings General. Users with Read and Write (RW) access will have the ability to merge practices.
