Prescription Management

With this release, eVetPractice now integrates with Covetrus Prescription Management! Find out more here!

Administration

  • Under General Settings | Medical Record Settings, a practice is now able to set Documents to the Public setting by default. By making this option a default setting, the practice avoids forgetting to make documents public which could then become hidden from the client site.

  • To provide a business owner with more control over billable items, two options have been added under Miscellaneous Settings.
    1. Restrict billable item creation and deletion and changes to code and name to business owners
      When enabled:
      • The options to add/copy/delete billable items will be hidden.
      • The Show Code and Name will be read-only fields.
    2. Restrict billable item price management to business owners
      When this option is enabled:
      • Show cost, markup, price, min price, max price, and service fee as read-only fields.
      • Tier pricing link will be disabled.
      • Still allow percent discounts.
      • Still allow cost to be updated via receiving workflow if the practice has this enabled.
    3. By default, both options are disabled.

Corrections

  • Comments, on IDEXX and Antech lab orders, will be disabled when the lab is pending. They will become available once the orders are imported.
  • When sending an invoice that had taxes modified on it to QuickBooks Online, the program will no longer generate an "XML" error in the queue.
  • When a payment is made and covers more than what is owed, the program will pay off the invoice and create a credit memo for the remaining credit so an error does not occur when processing payments with QuickBooks Online.
  • Pricing of a package item will reflect what is configured in tier pricing properly when added to a treatment or package setup.
  • A prompt will now display to select an existing client when a duplicate phone number is entered on client creation.

  • Trailing spaces in a code for IDEXX VetConnect will be ignored when the order is submitted to prevent the order from failing.
  • Returned items will reflect the price it was sold at when a minimum price is set on the item but the actual price is lower. The correct value will be imported into QuickBooks Online.
  • Taxes and totals from eVetPractice have been enhanced to match when sent to QuickBooks Online.
  • For Canadian practices, invoices with taxable and non-taxable items on the same invoice will transfer to QuickBooks Online properly.
  • When returning partial quantities, the Controlled Substance Log will have the correct value for both first and second returns, and both will reflect the "gain" and not the remaining amount sold.
  • The patient's date of birth will be included in the patient highlights merge field for document templates.
  • When printing the Medical Records for a patient, that includes an exam form with the patient's weight entered (by selection or printing all), the "Weight" will be displayed as the field name, rather than "No Results".
  • Formatting of certain IDEXX Reference Lab results have been corrected to display in a more easier-to-read format in the program.
