All regions ๐
๐ Improved: Dynamic border colours in odontogram
Itโs now easier to identify surface borders when youโre charting on the odontogram. Previously all borders were black, so if you used a darker custom colour when charting, it could be tricky to see borders and distinguish which surfaces were covered by treatments.
Now if youโre using a darker custom colour for a surface-related treatment, borders/definitions will be in a lighter colour, ensuring you can always see at a glance which surfaces are affected by each treatment, regardless of charting colour.
Take a look at the screenshot below for an example, showing a separate D and O surface restoration, and a DO multi-surface restoration.
๐ Bug Fix: We fixed a bug where appointments which contained completed treatments, but were not yet booked, were appearing in the 'Unbooked treatment' lists/reporting.
UK/ROI-specific updates ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช
๐ Improved: Previous software charged treatment fees
Public health patients whose accounts have charged treatment fees from your previous software won't be double-charged under the same treatment plan. If you continue a treatment plan started in your previous software, Dentally now understands the payments made towards it to ensure that patients aren't double-charged NHS or HSC fees.
๐ Improved: Wales-specific treatments for Welsh practices only
If you are a non-Welsh practice, you will no longer see Welsh-only treatments, to make it easier to find what you're looking for.
๐ Bug Fix: We've fixed a bug with the 'Payment Allocation Totals' report. Previously, if you drilled down in the report to a specific practitioner's data, when you then clicked back it would take you all the way back to your list of reports, skipping past the main 'Payment Allocation Totals' report first. This has now been fixed to let you quickly view a practitioner's data and return back to the report with ease.
ROI-specific updates ๐ฎ๐ช
๐ Bug Fix: We've fixed a bug that prevented totals showing after you left page 1 of the 'PRSI Claims' report. You can now see totals on all pages!
AU-specific updates ๐ฆ๐บ
๐ Improved: Discounting for claimed/completed items
You can now discount items that had previous claims or completed treatment plans. Previously it wasn't possible to discount an invoice containing items which had been claimed for as part of a different claim, so you'd be unable to apply a discount to items not involved in the previous claim. This limitation has now been removed, so you'll be able to apply discounts to any item, making it easier to manage your items.
CA-specific updates ๐จ๐ฆ
๐ New: Tax receipt statement options
We've added new options when generating a statement for patient accounts. You can now choose between a statement that includes invoice details (item name, quantity, price, and any discount), or excludes the items and just shows invoice totals, or a brand new 'Tax receipt' format.
The tax receipt is ideal to give to patients, to show all (non-insurance) payments made to their account in the year.
๐ Improved: Run 'Production' report for invoiced items
Previously, only production that had been paid for would appear on the 'Production' report. Now you're able to view all production that has been invoiced, by changing the 'Report Basis' filter. This should make it easier to produce an annual production report, including the count and total amount charged for each treatment code.
