Procedure List Update

Following the exciting announcement in our Hospital Update Newsletter on the 19^th of July 2023 (FYDO Hospital Update – 19.07.2023), regarding the new Procedure List features, we are pleased to announce that Phase 2 will be implemented into FYDO this week which will result in it being fully functional.

The new feature allows facilities to pre-set default fields for any item in their Proc Notes list. This will result in certain fields automatically populating when that particular procedure is selected. Reducing repetitive data entry, when adding appointments, resulting in a much more efficient process for users.

Facilities can prepare for this new update by adding defaults into FYDO now!
Procedure List defaults can be added in Settings > Procedures by either double clicking on an existing entry or utilising the “Add Procedure” option to make a new entry.

Fields that can be defaulted are:

• Anaesthetic Type
• Appointment Minutes
• Item Numbers
• Other Services

There is no requirement to add these defaults. Facilities that choose not to utilise this feature will notice no change in the way that the appointments screen functions. There is also no requirement to add ALL defaults and FYDO will allow users to add only the defaults that they wish.

However, to ensure that this feature doesn’t negatively impact customers that choose NOT TO use it, we need to make you aware of exactly how it will work:

• Procedures WITH default fields set in ALL options will populate all relevant fields
• Procedures WITH default fields set in SOME options will populate only the fields with defaults & other fields will still need to be added manually
• Procedures WITHOUT default fields set will not populate any fields & all information will need to be added manually
• Fields can be amended after the default has been added however if another option from Proc Notes is selected, after the amendment is made, the field will be reverted to the set default
• If a user selects an option from Proc Notes that DOES have defaults set but then makes an amendment to another option, that DOESN’T have defaults set, FYDO WILL NOT remove any options added by the first selection. The user will need to manually remove any items that are no longer required. This has been done deliberately to ensure that items are not inadvertently removed for our facilities that do not wish to utilise this feature.
