  • Email Appointment Reminders
  • Integrated Document viewer
  • Patient Education on the Patient Portal
  • Edit the Dx from the procedures performed window
  • Keep the unsigned reports and review requests list open

Email Appointment Reminders

Patients can now receive appointment reminders via email.  Within the email is a link the patient can click to confirm their appointment.  Once confirmed, the appointment will change color on the schedule.  These can be enabled for the patient in their Patient Portal Settings or can be enabled by the patient from their account page in their portal.  The text of the email can be customized in the email settings of the BackChart system admin.

Integrated Document Viewer

We have added a new document view to make looking at uploaded documents easier.  The viewer allows you to look at a file without the need to download it.

Keep the unsigned reports and review requests list open

We added a user preference that will keep the unsigned reports list and review requests list open as you work through them.  This can save time if you are reviewing multiple charts in a row.  The lists can be resized by clicking and dragging on the lower right corner and they can be moved around the screen by clicking and dragging at the very top of the window.

Patient Education on the Patient Portal

Items that are assigned to the patient in the Educational Material section of the patient chart can now be accessed by the patient from within their Portal.

Edit the Dx from the procedures performed window

We added a button to the Procedures Performed window that allows you to make changes to the patient’s diagnosis directly from this screen.
