Learn more about newly released Labnext functionality to increase your lab efficiency

In this newsletter we would like to draw your attention to newly released Labnext functionality to increase your lab efficiency.

Here are the key points about this new functionality:

• Case details including procedures, notes, files, task details, etc. will be recreated on the new account case
• The activity log for the case will reflect the account change
• To access this functionality, go to Actions / Change Account from with the appropriate case.

Remakes – External

We’ve updated and renamed Labnext external remakes for increased power and flexibility. The new name for this functionality is Next Case.

Here are the key points about this new functionality:

• You can create multiple Next Case Types
• Next Cases can be setup as a continuation of the current procedure, or the creation of a new procedure
• You can optionally force notes to be entered when the next case is created
• You can optionally present new case descriptions (e.g. wrong shade,..) which can also be reported on

To configure to Next Cases, go to: Settings / Case Settings /General / Next-Case Types. For additional detail view the Labnext documentation.

There are several Labnext reports that give you insight into Next Case usage:

• Next Cases by Type
• Next Cases by Type and Description
• Next Cases Type Top Accounts
• Next Cases Costs

Task Completion

If you have two procedures on a case with the same task, you are now able to complete both tasks with one technician scan.

This functionality is based on a new setting in the task entitled Complete all instances of this task on a case when any one is completed. Simply check this option on the appropriate Labnext tasks.

Reports

We’ve released updates to three Labnext reports to make them even more valuable.

The Batch Print Open Invoice report now displays the patient name. To view go to Reports and the Finances section.

The Procedures Setup report allows you to see the tasks, pay, unit count, availability to DDX and attributes without having to visit each procedure individually. To view go to Reports and the Other section.

The Product Sales report now has a Group By designation. If the option Procedure Category is selected the report will sort and subtotal by the category the procedure is listed in. To view go to Reports and the Sales section.

Case List Sorting

You can now sort cases in a Case List window by clicking on the appropriate header.

The Case / Pan header allows you to sort by Case or Pan number in ascending or descending order. The Patient / Appt header allows you to sort by Patient Name or Patient Appointment date in ascending or descending order.
