FYDO Users are now able to add default settings to each item in the Procedures List. This exciting new feature will eventually mean that when a certain procedure is added to an appointment, the following fields can be populated automatically!
This wonderful new feature will improve efficiency & reduce repetitive data entry as users will not need to add as much information to the appointments manually for predictable procedures.
As this is only Phase 1, the fields have been added to the Settings > Procedures so that facilities have time to add the required options into their list.
However, the function won’t be implemented into the appointments screen until a future update.
There has been an additional tick box incorporated into the Overnight Accommodation Fees that allows facilities to Exclude Private Room add on.
This function will be required if a facility IS allowed to charge a Private Room Addon for most of their accommodation types & have therefore ticked the Add Private Room Line on the Invoice (overnight only) in the Other Settings tab.
The new tick box allows for the Add Private Room Line on the Invoice (overnight only) to be counteracted for certain accommodation types if required. Essentially turning the feature off & allowing the accommodation type to function without a private room add on.

New patient fields include:
Users are now able to specify if a new Adjustment Type will affect the payments or the revenue.
The adjustment types can be found in Settings > Adjustments and can be customised to facilitate the needs of each hospital.
Each adjustment type already in FYDO has had the default set according to the figures that they have always impacted. However, users are able to choose which option they require for all new adjustment types that are added.
This option can by selected in the set up by ticking or unticking the Affect Revenue tick box.
The selected option for each adjustment type will be shown on the Adjustments list so they are easily identifiable.
Theatre Roster – Order of Theatres
Theatres will now be shown in alphabetical order in the Theatre Roster screen. This will ensure the order of theatres in the roster replicates the order that they are shown in the appointments screen.
FYDO now allows users to easily & efficiently identify the last 15 MRN’s/Patients that they have interacted with & navigate to them.
This feature can be utilised by simply hovering over the Patient tab in the main menu & selecting the desired patient.
There is now a report that can be used to Find Available Appointments. This report will show 3 months worth of available appointments at a time, as opposed to the Find Available Appointments option on the Appointments screen, which will show the next 20 available appointments.
The report can be found under Reports > Clinic Reports.

A new column has been added to the Incomplete Report, when run for the Data Type > Grouped Episodes, that allows facilities to easily identify the user that has grouped the episode in the Coding Screen.
This new addition will assist in obtaining statistics on the number of episodes that have been grouped for the date range selected.
An Excel – Raw Data option has also been added, to give facilities the added ability to filter the Group By column.
Claiming Hospital > Claims Tab
Users are now able to search for a Transaction ID in the Claiming Hospital > Claims tab.
Bug Fixes
The 1st of July National Procedure Bandings update has been loaded into FYDO. All new items have been added, along with any amendments to the National Banding.
Descriptions for all existing items will not be amended, as facilities prefer to keep their own descriptions in their databases, and any relevant State Bandings will also need to be updated by the facilities if required.
The 1st of July Other Services update has been loaded into FYDO. All new items have been added & all fees amended.
The latest DRG Version 11 is now an available option in FYDO. This latest DRG version is yet to be supported for claiming through ECLIPSE & should therefore only currently be used for manual billing/claiming. Each health fund will advise what version they require, so please check with the funds if you are unsure what version should be used.
Users will be very excited to learn that updating the Anaesthetist or Doctor in a Theatre Roster will now update all active bookings that are linked to that roster!
This feature will be a huge time-saving function for facilities that book patients in before the Anaesthetist is known. It will also mean that the process of changing the anaesthetist, or doctor, after the list has been entered is much more efficient!
This function only updates all active bookings that are linked to that Theatre Roster. It will not update admitted, discharged or cancelled episodes.
Users are now able to search for Invoice Numbers in the Payments (Hospital) tab. This additional feature, along with the already available feature of searching the Batch Number, will enable users to easily identify payment files for certain invoice or batch numbers.
To search for the invoice number, simply type INV: followed by the invoice number.
A FABULOUS new feature has been added to the Length of Stay Report that allows users to run this report in a Summary View.
This enables efficient collation of data using the Group By options that have also been added to enhance this feature.
Using the Specialty filter can also allow the comparison of information across specific specialties. Or using the MBS filter can even allow for comparison of particular procedures.
The Letter Editor has been added back on the Main Menu & is now situated under the Data I/O tab.
When a batch is removed from the Claiming Hospital > Claims tab, an audit log will now show in the Settings > Logs. This is in addition to the log that has always shown in the Episodes screen for the corresponding admission to assist in identifying if a log has been removed & who has removed it.
A New Export To option has been added to the Deleted Transaction Report. Users are now able to export this report to Excel – Raw Data format.
By default, Inactive Doctors will no longer show under the Doctor filter for the following reports:
If users wish to view the Inactive Doctors, they will need to click the tick box next to the Doctor filter called Include Inactive Doctors.

FYDO now gives users the ability to mark rejected claims as actioned in the Processing IHC screen.
Once rejected claims have been addressed, the Actions drop down can be utilised to Mark as Actioned. This will remove the claim from the default view.
The Rejection Handled dropdown can be used to Show All responses and display any claims that have previously been Marked as Actioned. However, by default the screen will open to show Not Actioned responses only.
Users are also able to Clear Actioned to then undo the Mark as Actioned function if required.
The End of Day Banking has been relocated to the main menu. This is to assist in easy access for staff performing this task, as they no longer need to enter the settings menu.
The permissions associated with the End of Day Banking have not changed. However, they have also been relocated in the User Groups to come under their own heading.
We have added a Gender field to the Patient Details screen. This field will automatically populate based on the sex.
For example – when Male is selected as Sex, Gender will automatically change to “Man, or boy, or male” and Female Sex has been mapped to “Woman, or girl, or female.” However, the Gender field can be overwritten to any other value provided.

There has been an addition to the Billing Status Report when run for Show Not Billed Only that allows the user to Exclude Cancelled Episodes.
This option will not be checked by default. However, once the user ticks this box, the cancelled episodes will be excluded from the report.
Users now have the option to obtain cancelled episode information for specific doctors or theatres with two new filters added to the Cancelled Episodes Report.
There have also been extra columns added to the Export > Excel – Raw data to give information on the Location Name, the Theatre ID, the Theatre List, the Doctor Name & the Doctor ID.
As of July separations, it is Optional for Victorian Hospitals to report the patient’s gender to the VIC Dept of Health, which will become mandatory from July 2024.
Whilst the ‘Gender’ field is currently only a requirement of VIC Hospitals, we have made the field available for all hospitals to use if they wish, which is an additional field to Sex.
Below is the official Reporting Guide from VIC Health regarding the use of Gender:
Automatic mapping has been put in place, so when Male is selected as Sex, Gender will automatically change to “Man, or boy, or male” and Female Sex has been mapped to “Woman, or girl, or female.” However, the Gender field can be overwritten to any other value provided.
We are working on the changes required for PreAdmit, so please contact us if you would like us to introduce the Gender field, providing us with a copy of your admission form with the new Gender field.
