2.4.7.0 (Summer 2017) Release

The following is a summary of new features and enhancements in QSIDental Web 2.4.7.0:

New Features and Enhancements

Interoperability

  • Increase integration using the new API for Appointment Scheduling (20568)

Customers have requested the ability to work with third parties to accomplish services for their patients such as online scheduling and electronic appointment reminders. This API will allow customers to choose the vendor of their choice to accomplish these services.

Revenue Cycle Management

  • Improve calculation of Service Item Restrictions (21959)

This new feature began as an “Idea” submitted by a customer in Success Community and received the most customer votes of any Idea. In this release, we will improve the calculation of Service Item Restrictions by reviewing the patient’s previous clinical and ledger history and warn the user when Frequency or Time Interval limits have been exceeded. This enhancement will also improve the handling of estimated insurance amounts on services that exceed a limitation by automatically removing the insurance estimate and recalculating the patient responsibility. For more information see Service Restrictions.

  • Improve Insurance Plan Setup screen for Service Restrictions (21957)

This enhancement is a by-product of the new Eligibility Service. With the improved eligibility information, we will enhance the method used to create Service Restrictions for an insurance plan. With this improved insurance benefit information and service restrictions for insurance plans you will be able to achieve more accurate Treatment Plan Estimates which should result in higher acceptance rates by patients. For more information see Add Service Restrictions.

User Experience

  • Incorporate easy-access to Edit functions from Patient Information window of the Tooth Chart (21960)

An idea in Success Community suggested that a user should be able to easily make corrections to information present in the Patient Information window that is displayed on the Tooth Chart page. This enhancement will improve the usability of the Tooth Chart by providing quick access to the respective sections included in the patient information pane. For more information see Patient Info Pane.

  • Identify Past Due Recall and Insurance Verification dates (21961)

This improvement will display the Recall Date and the Insurance Verified Date in red font color on Patient Overview and Tooth Chart if dates are in a past-due condition. This will improve the usability of QDW by allowing front desk and clinical staff to easily detect these important past-due details. For more information see Patient Overview Screen and Patient Info Pane.

  • Improve access toInsurance Plan Details information (22046)

While making changes to the Eligibility Service and the Insurance Plan Setup, we noticed that we could improve the general usability of QDW by making insurance plan detail information easily available to users in three key locations: Patient Overview, Tooth Chart, and Appointment List View. This improvement will provide easy access to the Insurance Plan Details popup and enhance the QDW Eligibility Service through integration with Sound Payments. For more information, see Patient Overview Screen, Patient Info Pane and View Insurance Plan Details in List View.
