ChiroPulse365 Chiropractic Software Blog

The Scheduler is your computerized daybook that integrates with ledger and patient data. It is customizable, including the setting hours, breaks and appointments per time slot for each day, for each doctor. The Scheduler was specifically designed to allow the vast majority of daily functions to be performed from this single screen (i.e., scheduling, posting charges, patient payment/co-payment, walkout receipt, access to patient careplan/travel card, etc.).

The Scheduler is also integrated with the Patient Claim Wizard & Ledger. You can set your default appointment information for each patient, for each “claim”, in the Claim Wizard. This includes default charges, times, etc. Typical appointment information that can be collected in the scheduler includes treatment codes (CPT, Multi & User codes) and treating doctors. This can streamline data entry, saving time & reducing errors. The scheduled charges/services (CPT, Multi & User codes) will be posted to the Patient’s Ledger when you set the visit status to kept (from waiting or treating). From the ChiroPulse start page “MyOffice” click the top icon bar “View scheduler” to launch the scheduler window. The scheduler is self-contained in an independent window to allow for quick return to office & patient tasks not scheduler related.

We’re going to try and Blog each ChiroPulse365 Refresh from here on out, to visualize some changes. For a complete list of changes please see the Member Center and/or from MyOffice open the “Recent Additions” printable file!

We are releasing a second Refresh in March because we anticipate our next Refresh will be a significant one with database level jump to allow for our Image & Document Managment System to be introduced.

Changes in this Refresh:

Travelcard startup configuration - new menu added

Travelcard – “Set Travelcard Startup…” new top menu added with keyboard shortcut Alt-T.  This lets you select which note type to view & load when opening Travelcard, for each computer. Previously the “SOAP Note” was automatically viewed, then more recently “ChiroCare”. Now you can decide, per computer what you want to view when Travelcard is opened!

Image/File/Document Viewer – audio/video files now appear in the file list, including .MP3, .WMV, .WMA. .MOV & more

Patient Invoice-1 margins tweaked to better accommodate dot-matrix printers.

Enhanced Scheduler Window

• “Open Patient’s Travelcard…” new top menu added with keyboard shortcut Alt-P. This lets you quickly open TravelCard for the selected patient, with less mouse movement or clicks. This is also featured in the ChiroPulse365 Notes & Scheduler Edition for computers or Netbooks!
• Scheduler window should now always properly open in the Top Upper Left corner of your Windows Desktop. Previously it might have been opened slightly above under certain scenarios.
• “Document Viewer…” new top menu added with keyboard shortcut Alt-D. This lets you quickly open the Document/Image viewer to see all computer files & documents indexed to the selected patient. From there you can quickly read/view, print or externally edit these documents. You can index new documents as well.

New Scheduler top menu items (ChiroPulse365 & Windows 7 beta)

Netbook Visual Mode Enabled – when you login to ChiroPulse365 you can now check “netbook mode” to use ChiroPulse365 on Netbooks with 1024×600 or 1024×576 video screen resolution.

ChiroPulse365 Netbook Visual Mode can be turned on from the login window

We just launched our web blog (i.e blog) to help us stay in better touch with your office! Let us share some exciting things happening with ChiroPulse365.

1. ChiroPulse365 will soon feature a fully indexed document file-management system that links any computer file to your patient database. You simply view/find the computer file (document, audio, video, picture, PDF, etc.) then tag it by patient, description, date, & keywords as well as optionally link it to a treating doctor, referring doctor, claim and/or lawyer. This lets you instantly retrieve, view, edit or print the linked file from any computer in your office or network running ChiroPulse365 – including wireless netbooks!

When working with any patient (for example from  Patient Finder Tab) you will see a list of documents – such as MRI results from 2/2009, blood tests, faxes, word processor files – that were linked to this patient. Thus keeping your patient files totally organized & always at your fingertips!  – This is in beta testing at select sites since February, 2009. Read more…
