- Automatic interest calculation on all overdue invoices is now an available option

Dynamic Reporting
Since regulatory rules, forms and reports are changing on a frequent basis, it is essential for our clients to be able to compose completely customizable reports. This new feature allows administrators to compose reports containing any combination of information. The dynamic tool can extract any statistical findings through the use of the Report Builder feature and integrated formulas.
Appointment Book Update
In order to provide clear case identification, the type of patient’s case will be visible on the bottom-right corner of an appointment in the Appointment Book of Universal Scheduling. For example, WSIB cases will be identified with a ‘W’ while MVA cases will be identified with an ‘M’. Users will immediately identify the patient’s billing information and will, therefore, have a better idea of when a follow-up visit should be scheduled.
Furthermore, an additional icon will indicate patient’s need for transportation and a Daily Transportation Report can be readily available with Time of Appointment, Patient Name, Home Address, and Telephone Numbers. The appointments can now be resized to take up more or less timeslots.
