What's New in Lytec 2008!
Lytec Medical 2008 - A Must Have!
We are pleased to introduce Lytec Medical 2008 - the latest upgrade to the original
Windows-based practice management software.
Top new features
Three
common use fields have been added to the Patient Information Tab. Fields
previously created under the Custom Tab were not removed. These fields
were created to increase efficiency:
- Home Email
- Mobile phone
- Nickname – This field allows for more personal interaction without
affecting claims processing
Edit Appointment Window Layout
Appointment Tab
The
Appointment Window Layout is
now customizable.
Double-click the new top left grid to open the same Layout Editor that
is used throughout Lytec.
Layout Editor
As
with other grids, you are now able to add columns, change labels, change
column order, and adjust column widths.
Delete Recall Appointments
Recall List
The Recall List can be found under the Activities Menu by selecting Recall
List. Previously Recall
Appointments could only be deleted from Scheduler Pro.
Now they can be deleted from the Recall List by selecting the
Recall and pressing the Delete button.
Patient Package
Practices often have a standard packet of documents that they require a
new patient to read and/or fill out.
Such a New Patient Package could include a Notice of Privacy
Policy with a corresponding Acknowledgement, Medical Release, Patient
Information and History form, Super Bill, etc.
A New Patient Package was added to Scheduler Pro, which allows
the practice to do the following:
- Create customizable Report Package that can be printed by a single
request
- Allows for multiple reports to printed from a patient’s appointment
- Right-click functionality added directly to the Scheduler
- Patient Packages can consist of up to 10 custom report files
- No
filters will be presented to the user, since the patient package uses
the selected appointment information to fill in the report
Print Patient Package Reports
Patient Package Tab
To open
the Patient Package list, go to Settings>Preferences, and from the
Preferences window, select the Patient Package tab.
By clicking the Add button, a Patient Package Report can be added.
Select Report
Select a
file in the Custom Reports folder, and press Open to add it to the Patient
Package. You will be returned to the patient package screen.
If you
selected a .LCG file in the Open screen you will see the following prompt,
asking if this is a Super Bill.
The
application must perform a considerable amount of processes to generate a
Super Bill, which differs from generic report. The other report types do not
need additional processing, which explains why this prompt opens
concurrently with the .LCG file extension.
Tips and Tricks
If the report is a Super Bill and the
No button is selected, the
application will not load the appointment information required by the
Super Bill, resulting in blank fields in the report.
Print from Scheduler Pro
Select
the appointment for Patient Package to print, and right-click to bring up
the context menu for that appointment. Left-click on Print Patient Package
here. Select the printer to print the Patient Package and click OK.
When
utilizing custom reports, there are some cases where there are fields in the
report that are not related to an appointment, generating the window below.
This
particular error occurs if the No
button is selected when a Super Bill is added to the Report Package, causing
the application to exclude the appointment information required by the Super
Bill, resulting in a report with blank fields.
Additional Report Changes
- Patient Notes, when changed, have been added to the Audit Trail listill Created Date added to Waiting Claims Report
- Last Printed Date added to Pending Claims Report
- Include Filters added to the Collection Module interface
- Transaction Journal and Practice Analysis have include filters for Transaction Types
