New Features
rVetLink Integration
rVetLink provides automated communication between specialty clinics and referring veterinarians. With rVetLink - DVMAX integration, you can automatically create client and patient records from rVetLink referrals and you can control what you share with referring clinics directly from DVMAX – appointments, MREs, diagnoses and more. To use this feature, you will need to have an rVetLink account set up, then work with an rVetLink onboarding specialist to configure rVetLink integration.
An rVetLink referral export report added to custom reports. Running the report displays a list of referral sources and related information on screen that can then be copy/pasted and sent to rVetLink to aid in the onboarding process.
DVMAX Messenger – Internal Message Board
DVMAX 8.7 includes an internal message board that lets you send messages to one or more DVMAX staff. The message board feature is accessed from the new Messages icon on the Command Palette and it opens in a browser window in the same way as the Scheduler and Boarding facilities. You can send a basic message or a task-based message, and you can include a link to a client or patient record with your message. Task-based messages can be marked as completed. Pending message notifications are shown on the Messages dialog.
IDEXX Web PACS integration
DVMAX version 8.7 brings IDEXX Web PACS integration to the suite of automated requisition features. You can now seamlessly send diagnostic imaging requests directly from DVMAX when you create an MRE with a linked requisition code. View images from the History tab of the patient record with the click of a button.
Departments
DVMAX uses Department records to identify the various service and/or product divisions in the practice and make them available for associating with recalls, staff and invoice line items. Some report updates have been made to include breakdown by Department, like the End of Day Transaction report, Recalls by Department and Sales Tax Charged Out.
By default, DVMAX has only one Department record, Clinic Name, and this record is used anywhere Departments are employed. To take full advantage of the Departments feature, you will need to create Department records, then assign Departments to Staff records, as desired.
...
- Resolved an issue where copy/pasting an MRE resulted in a duplicate key error.
- Resolved an issue that could prevent copy/paste of diagnosis record.
- Addressed an issue where the Scheduler could fail to refresh if the mouse was active during the refresh interval.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the link to break between bill item records and provider codes.
- Fixed a VetConnect PLUS issue where the IDEXX Requisition Wizard would post a runtime error if no LIMS code was supplied while Updating Codes.
- Fixed an import routine issue with IDEXX Requisition codes where a second list of codes could be imported. Only one set of codes is now imported.
- Fixed an issue that could cause an error message when notes were added to an IDEXX Reference Lab requisition when submitted.
- Addressed an issue that could cause hidden MREs to show in patient history in DVMAX Anywhere. Hidden MREs are now properly masked from view in History in both DVMAX and Anywhere.
- Addressed an issue where Macros would insert html tags into a WP document when characters < or & were part of the text of a Finding Option.
- Fixed an issue where user could bypass entering of initials when deleting an unfinished invoice. If initials are required to finish or modify an invoice, an unfinished invoice cannot be deleted without providing valid provider initials. Similarly, an issue has been addressed where voiding an invoice or payment could still be done without entering a valid staff code.
- Fixed a number of cosmetic issues that resulted in text appearing sliced or cut off on some reports and other print jobs from record lists.
- Resolved an issue where attempting to open a treatment plan that is already locked by another user caused the items to duplicate.
- Addressed an issue where, when printing the Sales Tax Collected Report, values would show as $0. This was on the printed report only. Printed values now display correctly.
- Fixed an issue that could cause Inventory Quantity on Hand to change when changing the view under Sales Information from Purchasing Units to Dispensing Unit.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent the export of the Appointments by Staff report.
- Fixed an issue that caused text on Antech requisition forms to be cut off.
- Fixed an issue where the Species Code under Integration Wizard would be locked if a patient record of that species was open.
- Fixed an issue where new Inventory Purchase line items seem to "hide" when you need to use scrolling on the dialog.
- Addressed an issue where word processing crashes when highlighting a sentence and dragging it to move (Mac only).
- Addressed an issue that could see some transaction types reversing the +/- value of the amount of charge put in the "Add New Transaction" dialog.
- Fixed an issue with listbox on Inventory Item -> Pharmacy Details Listing area that made selecting a Lot entry to edit from the list impossible.
- Addressed an issue that might prevent viewing of attachments from MRE attachments tab.
- Addressed an issue where keyboard shortcuts were not available when opening a patient record that contained VCPlus or in house lab results. A web form was grabbing system focus even though the process was hidden.
- There was a problem with the date format in the new Reminders area of the Create/Edit Appointments dialog. This has been fixed by correcting an issue where settings in DVMAX were not being correctly sent to the Scheduler. The Advanced Setting px.sched.dateFormat must be set to m/d/Y to make the date format in the Scheduler consistent with the rest of DVMAX (mm/dd/yyyy).
- Fixed an issue that could cause an error message to display when running the Multi-Site Detailed Doctor Production Report.
