Report to find which templates include a certain product and/or report to find templates that include inactive products

Hi,

Is there a report or a way to find which templates include a certain product? I want to change the product on some of templates (but not change the product completely) and would save time not having to go through one by one looking for them.

Also, is there a report or a way to find templates that include any inactive products?

Different email to sms for each practice location? (Feature request)

Hi,

We use 5centsms with a virtual number for our email-to-sms provider. This allows reply messages to come back to us as an email. 

We have a virtual number for each practice, which works well with keeping track of messages to & from clients. 

But OpenVPMS only has one SMS configuration, and so I can't have each location managing their own client communication.

Can I request an SMS configuration per Practice Location? It will save a lot of emails & time & unnecessary communication between practices.

Thanks,

Investigations - how to change from Sent to Received

Good morning,

We use Idexx in-house lab, and mostly the results transfer is fine. Occasionally the results don't make it onto OpenVPMS and the investigation is stuck on Sent. 

I can download the results from Idexx, but I'm at a loss for how to change to investigation on OpenVPMS to recieved to mark it as reviewed.

All help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks 

Chris.

New Printer Not found - headache :(

Hi All,

Is anyone having the issue of new printer not found in openvpms? 

Reports

I need a new report that will show me the bad debt write offs that I have done over a period of time.  It would be great to show the clients by name, when they were designated as bad debt and amount with a total amount for whatever selected dates I choose.

Macro - Future date & Patient Weight in drug label

Hi,

Is it possible to insert a macro into a medication label set up within products?

I would like to insert tomorrow's date and the patient weight.

Our current label is:

Using syringe provided, measure to the XX dose. Give orally once daily with food for 6 days.
Start
Stop if vomiting or not eating. Do not overdose.

I'd like it to be have the patient weight (rounded to whole number) where the XX is, and after Start to have tomorrows date.

So it would read:

How to mark appointments as confirmed? (Maybe feature request?)

Hi,

We do a lot of future bookings 6 to 12 months in advance. We then send a text reminder a week out from the appointment asking them to confirm the appointment or to reschedule.

At the moment we are putting '**' in the notes to show it has been confirmed, but is there a better way of dealing with this?

Would it be possible to have a 'Confirmed' tick box or similar on appointments, maybe changing how they look (bold, italic or ...)?

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

Archiving Old Data -

OpenVPMS has been in use by clinics for over 25 years now - I wonder how much "old data" is being kept in databases - occupying disk space and slowing data access.  

I define "old data" as that which no longer has any value ie - its being kept outside legislative requirements for animals that are no longer clients or alive. 

Is it worth while looking at some sort of archive solution internally - ie selectively move records to an alternate db / file while leaving a link behind in the record.  

Medical Prescriptions - compliance and charging

I am interested in improving the compliance of OpenVPMS with various rules surrounding vets issuing written prescriptions -

 

Currently, OpenVPMS handles prescriptions as an internal object - basically really designed to manage a pet's prescription at the practice itself rather than at a 3rd party pharmacy.  

Printer not found in Print Dialog / Hang Up when printing to PDF

Hello,

I have a network printer shared and I tried to print using the OpenVPMS print dialog. However, I cant seem to find my network printer in the selection. When I tried printing via PDF and pressed OK, it seems to have hanged up and I am unable to print. Is there a way for me to add my own printer directly in the print dialog or fix the issue on the lag regarding the print to pdf option.

 

Thanks
