Fall 2014 Enhancements

Fall 2014 Enhancements
We continue to listen to our users to make specific improvements to the SimChart for the Medical Office product. The
next update is scheduled for Fall 2014. On October 25, we will be incorporating enhancements that have largely been
drive by user feedback. Customers will not need to do anything; these updates will automatically appear in their course.
Here is an overview of what is coming.
1. Workers’ Compensation
A Worker’s Compensation section has been added to the Patient Information Form, Patient Demographics, and the
Claim.
 After selecting a provider from the Insurance dropdown menu, the contact information for the selected provider
will auto-populate.
 The Group Number field and the Upload Insurance Card link are removed since WC does not include this
information.
