New Patient Flag 

Following the addition of the New Patient Flag (as noted in our 11.4.25 newsletter) the field now has a corresponding token that can be used in forms, lists, SMSs, and more.  
This token is <<EpNP>> and it will display as Yes for new patients or No for patients that have had a previous episode.   

Theatre Roster 

It’s now even easier to identify which Theatre Bookings have Files loaded, with a new icon visible in Day, Week and Month views to indication how many files are linked to each booking.  

Episode Stats Report 

A new option has been added to the Episode Stats Report that allows facilities to easily identify Trends. The report can now be run by Week, Month or Year, making it simpler to obtain figures over extended periods.  
With the same Group By and filter options still available, this enhancement significantly improves the usability of the Episode Stats Report – allowing facilities to collate monthly stats by doctor, health fund, MBS and much more! 

New Dashboard 

The launch of the long-awaited FYDO Dashboard is finally here! It displays helpful information including FYDO Updates, Feature Spotlights, tips and more – all in one convenient place. 
And this is just the beginning! We have plans to continue expanding and refining the dashboard to give you faster, easier access to information you need! 

Bed Tracker 

Chart Labels can now be printed from the Right-Click Menu in the Bed Tracker.  

Tasmanian Cancer Registry Screen 

Tasmanian facilities can now record Cancer Registry information in FYDO. This screen is accessible via the Coding Screen (in View mode) by clicking Cancer Registry. 

This marks the first stage of this development, and facilities are able to commence adding cancer registry data, with the next stage enabling data extraction via Data Extracts. Keep an eye on upcoming newsletters for confirmation once this feature is complete. 

Unbilled Revenue Report API 

A new API is now available, allowing data from the Unbilled Revenue Report to be utilised externally.  

Revenue Report

Additional information has been added to the Revenue Report > Excel – Raw Data Export to help facilities easily access details regarding the sent status and ECLIPSE responses from health funds. The following columns have been added:
– BillType: Indicates whether the claim was sent via ECLIPSE or manually (Paperbase).
– Sent: The date the claim was sent via ECLIPSE or marked as sent for Paperbase claims.
– ECLIPSE: Displays the ECLIPSE assessment status, indicating whether the claim has been Approved or Rejected.

The admission time, displayed in the Edit Appointment Screen, can now be added to a Custom View, allowing it to be shown on the Appointments Screen. 

Theatre Roster Improvement 

A new pop-up has been added when saving edits to a Theatre Booking, providing users with two options: 

• Only Update Roster Info: This option prevents updates to linked bookings, meaning details from the theatre roster (e.g. anaesthetist, surgical assistant etc.) will not be modified.  

• Update All Bookings: This option updates all linked bookings, ensuring the displayed data (e.g. anaesthetist, surgical assistant etc.) is applied across all affected bookings.  

The functionality remains unchanged in that it only updates linked bookings and does not affect Admitted, Discharged or Cancelled Episodes.  

Bed Tracker Improvement 

Users can now Search for patients within the Bed Tracker. Please note that this search function only applies to patients displayed on the current screen and does not search the entire database.   

Episode Stats Report Additions 

A new filter has been added to the Episode Stats Report, allowing episodes to be filtered by their Mode of Separation (aligning with the HCP and PHDB data field in the discharge screen).  

Facilities can now use the Group By feature to group episodes by Last Bed, Last Ward and Mode of Separation.  

New Patient Flag 

The New Patient Flag will now automatically tick for a patient’s First Episode. For all subsequent episodes, the New Patient tick box will remain unticked. 

The next stage of development for this feature will introduce a token that allows this information to be printed on documents such as Theatre Lists.  

Auto SMS Improvements 

Post Discharge Auto SMSs can now be sent to patients based on their Patient Category.  

South Australian Cancer Registry Screen 

South Australian facilities can now record Cancer Registry information in FYDO. This screen is accessible within the Coding Screen, when in View mode, by clicking Cancer Registry.

• Create IFC – Allows users to generate IFCs 

• Create IFC – Edit Charges – Allows users to make changes to the fees while creating IFCs 

Additionally, new access level options have been introduced for the Data I/O function. 

By default, these new options will mirror the current access levels that all users have in FYDO. Facilities can adjust these permissions as needed.

New IFC Template Defaults 

Following our announcement earlier this week, we’re pleased to confirm that the new feature allowing facilities to have both an Insured Default Template and an Uninsured Default Template has now been implemented in FYDO.  
If your facility uses different IFC templates for insured and uninsured patients, this update may require adjustments to your FYDO database.  
Our team is available to assist with any questions or changes needed – please don’t hesitate to reach out if you require support.   

Chart Tracking Improvements 

We’ve added a new feature to Chart Tracking that allows facilities to Request charts. This action works similarly to a Chart Movement but adds a special Request flag, making it easy for other users to identify which charts need to be collected and where they should be moved within the facility.  

To further enhance this feature, we’ve made several additions to the Chart Tracking Report: 
1. Filter Option: Users can filter the report to view All Types, Request Only or None Request.   
2. Improved Identification: Requested charts are now easily identifiable on the report.   
3. Multi-Select Capability: Users can select multiple entries directly from the report.   
4. Bulk Actions: A new field allows for multiple charts to be actioned at once to either Return Bulk Charts or Covert Bulk Charts to Loan.  

Episode Stats Report 

A new Order By option has been added to the Episode Stats Report when run by Detail.  
This option allows patients to be ordered by Health Fund followed by Discharge Date.  

Waitlist Additions 

Users can now add appointments directly from the Waitlist! This new feature is available in the Right-Click Menu when using the Appointments Screen.  

Selecting this option will open a pop-up displaying all Waitlist patients available for the selected day. Their mobile phone number is displayed to make it quick and easy to contact the patient if needed.  

Double-clicking on a patient will initial the Make Appointment Screen, where details can be added to complete the booking.  

Once the booking is made and the user clicks Save, another pop-up will appear, prompting them to decide whether to Delete from waitlist and/or Delete Future Appointments – ensuring a seamless and efficient transition from Waiting to Booking.  

New Token  

A new token is available to display information about a patient’s previous admissions. This token simply indicates whether a patient has had a previous admission with a Y (Yes) or N (No).

Billing Status Report 

A new filter has been added to the Billing Status Report when running Show All – Inv Detail. This filter allows users to omit specific types of information if required. 

Payments (Hospital) Improvements 

To help prevent accidental duplicate processing of ECLIPSE payments, FYDO will now notify users if they attempt to process a payment that has already been applied. This safeguard reduces errors and ensures greater financial accuracy. Additionally, an audit log will record if a staff member chooses to proceed, after the alert is triggered.   

Inpatient Procedure Schedule Improvements 

New fields have been added to the Inpatient > Procedure Schedule to enhance the workflow for patients requiring multiple procedures during their stay. These updates allow facilities to list a Planned Time in Theatre (TIT) and specify the Roster for each procedure, ensuring the correct information is reflected on the theatre lists.  

Handover Report Improvements 

The Bed Trackers Handover Report now has the capability to print the Procedure details from the patient’s Procedure Schedule¸ not just the original booking. 
The new token to print this information is <<ProcNotes2>>. If you require assistance with updating your Handover Report Template, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
