Bug fixes

  • Unexpected cash transfer when receipting a held account.

    When a held account was receipted, the Bank Account was defaulting to the first alphabetically, rather than that which the account was recorded against, resulting in a cash transfer. To fix this problem, the receipting held accounts now use the account against which the invoice was raised.

  • Editing patients postal address modifies the postcode.

    A problem that occurred when a patient's postal address was edited, where the postcode reverted to the patient's residential address postcode has been fixed. The Postal and Residential Address fields now work independently of one another.

  • Show Appointments option not opening in the Appointment Book.

    For a number of patients, the Show Appointments option would not open or display a list of future appointments for the patient. Show Appointments now correctly displays future appointments for the linked patient.

  • Medicare Card Reader not working.

    In some areas of Pracsoft the Medicare Card Reader was not correctly interpreting the Medicare details from the card and could not be used to search for patients or record Medicare Card numbers for new patients. This problem is now resolved.

  • Automatic OPV Checks not working.

    Automatic OPV Checks for some patients added to the Waiting Room were not occurring as expected. This problem is now resolved.

  • A problem with printing a blank DB4 from the Pracsoft Waiting Room is now fixed.
