Introducing a New User Role – Biller

Managing a clinic involves several people, from the owner, doctors, nursing staff to the receptionist and other administrative staff. While all of them play different roles in running the clinic not all require complete access to information. For example, it is important that non-medical staff have limited access to patients’ medical records to preserve patient privacy and prevent information overload.

Keeping this in mind, Practo Ray has introduced a new user role specifically targeting the Billing Desk.

Manage Staff - Smile Dental

Biller user role, for your billing desk

Biller’ role gives access to:

  • All billing related information
  • Viewing & editing patient profiles
  • Inventory
  • Daily summary report and inventory report

Thus, this user has access to all billing-related information and only one day’s financial data. This helps minimise

  • Access to information not essential for the role
  • Distraction during work hours

We hope this new user role helps you increase staff productivity while keeping sensitive practice information private. Please direct any feedback to support@practo.com.

Reminder and Birthday SMS Reactivation

Follow-up reminder SMS and Birthday SMS messages will be reactivated for Singapore customers starting January 1st, 2015.

Communication

We had temporarily deactivated follow-up reminder SMS and Birthday SMS messages to keep in line with the The Personal Data Protection Commission’s PDPA requirements. We’ve now started filtering numbers against the DNC register as required. We’re thankful for your patience while we made sure we were completely compliant.
