13.85 Apple pencil is the missing piece of the jigsaw that you can now use with EzyPAASS. This allows you to do Body Charts on your iPad. The pencil can also be used to operate the other menus and is great for more accurate use of your Swype keyboard. To use Apple pencil you will need an iPad Pro - either size.

13.00 Accounts and Receipts can already be emailed. However now (with the next update) you can set an Auto Address code to always set accounts and receipts to be emailed e.g.. BC for ‘Basketball club’. In Auto Addresses /Address code = BC set email accounts to ‘Yes’. When a P (private) patient comes in but asks the account be emailed to the Basketball Club just enter his Address code as BC (in Patient Details Account Sent to) / Click on Auto Address and the rest is done automatically.
12.98 Credit balance fixed.
12.96 Programming tidied up so EzyPAASS opens up more quickly and some other minor programming changes.

(Email accounts in Patient Details / Extra details must be set to yes, Payer email in Patient Details must be entered and Practice Letter head must be present in Personal Preferences.)

12.80 EzyPAASS has gone International. In Personal Preferences select your country and invoices / accounts and receipts will be printed in the local currency e.g.. $ (AUD, USD, CAD), £ (UK pound), R (South African rand). Also your own personal letterhead can be used (Copy / Paste your design into Personal Preferences) instead of having professional letterheads printed. This letterhead is also used on emailed accounts.
12.70 Added Vendor no. to Auto Addresss for those Employers who require a Vendor no. on accounts to identify you. The Vendor no. info is placed on accounts for W and A codes.
12.51 ‘Pre emptive’ code and Item no in Visits. Search Visits by Item Category. Entries not forced to Capials in Patients, Visits, Items and Symptoms. Small orange squares added which give extra info when selected. Items alterable from list rather than just single screen.

Ability to Export Name / Address text file from Patients to print Mail Merge letters.
12.31 More flexible and specific entry of Patient Exercises. An exercise is recorded as being added on a specific visit.

12.3 FCE forms can be printed from within EzyPAASS when filling out Work cover or TAC Treatment plans / notification forms. Sick / Attendance certificates can be printed from within EzyPAASS and as many details as possible are pre entered.
12.21 Semi Automated computerized TAC TNP forms. (N.B. I am a physiotherapist working in Victoria, Australia so the forms so far are Victorian based. Others will be added as requested.) A button added to Personal Preferences to automatically email the PP file for easier upgrading to FULL EzyPAASS when desired.
12.2 Problems/Plan field added into Obj/Phys Assessment. Whatever is entered here shows up in in a new Rx notes entry and can be altered or deleted as necessary. Optional Gap Fee entry rather than automatic when details entered in Patients / Extra Details. Payment list with totals now printed from Payments / Find so Payments can be searched on any criteria - Date, Record no etc. Running total of ’Total Outstanding' and for 'This Payment'. When entering a payment Health refund, cash etc are taken off the amount owing so the total still to be recieved is obvious.
12.1 Semi Automated computerized PMP forms. Auto entry of name, date, DOB, (as much as possible) and then print from EzyPAASS and stored in Correspondence automatically. Intelligent entry of Code and Items in Visits (like sub menus) so a list of possible entries is given according to the part of the Code/Item already entered.
