1^st July National Procedure Banding Update

The 1^st 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.

1^st July Other Services Update

The 1^st of July Other Services update has been loaded into FYDO. All new items have been added & all fees amended.

 

DRG Version 11

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.

 

Updating the Anaesthetist & Doctor in the Theatre Roster

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.

 

Processing & Payments > Payments (Hospital) tab

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.

 

Summary Addition to the Length of Stay Report

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.

 

Letter Editor on Main Menu

The Letter Editor has been added back on the Main Menu & is now situated under the Data I/O tab.

 

Remove Batch Log

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.
