Scheduled maintenance on 12 Mar for Ray by Practo

Dear Doctors,

This is to inform you of the scheduled maintenance work for Ray on 12 March 2017, from 3:30 AM to 6:30 AM.

During this period, you can expect a short service interruption.

We perform regular maintenance to ensure that the service continues uninterrupted for our customers. In most cases, maintenance can be performed without service interruption. However, in the rare event when maintenance cannot be performed without interruption, we work hard to keep any impact as brief as possible.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Team Practo

 

Introducing Practo Feedback

Understand your patients better

Testimonials play a key role in building reputation. But most doctors don’t have the time to collect feedback from patients, let alone analyse and convert them into testimonials.

So to help you increase visibility among patients, Practo brings you Practo Feedback – a service that collects comprehensive feedback from your patients. This feedback will be reflected on Practo.com as testimonials, emphasizing the authenticity of your practice. Since only verified patients will be leaving feedback about you, prospective patients browsing online will find it much easier to trust your profile.

Practo Feedback

*This service is free of cost for a limited time. Available for customers in India only.

 

Coming Soon: Vital Signs Trends

Update: Vital Signs Trends is now available to practices in all medical & dental specialties.

Doctors get key insights into their patients’ health by monitoring their temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure and pulse. The trends displayed by plotting these Vital Signs helps doctors identify chronic medical problems. So when they treat diabetes or hypertension, doctors use Vital Signs to check if the medicines they prescribed are working. In pregnancies, they use it to keep a check on the mother and child’s health.

Vital-Signs

It would be incredibly useful, for both doctors and patients, if these vital signs could be automatically plotted and accessed all in one place. It would help doctors make an accurate diagnosis, and keep patients updated about the state of their health.

Practo is currently working with doctors to make tracking vital signs trends easier and quicker. Doctors will soon be able to monitor a patient’s vital signs, quickly diagnose medical issues, and tailor treatment plans.

As always, we’d love to hear from you so please leave us your comments. To know more, write to us.

Practo Share – Easy Access to Medical Records

You already know the importance of the Doctor-Patient Relationship. That’s why you have Practo Ray running in your practice – to get your patients to put their trust in you.

Practo Share is another effort to improve patient trust. It lets you share medical records with your patients online.

Share Records

Your patients can view their:

  • Appointments
  • Prescriptions
  • Files
  • and Invoices.

This is all they can see. You can stay assured that they can’t see anything else other than what’s mentioned above. Take a look at the help article if you want to know more. You can also reach out to us through our support channels with your thoughts and suggestions.

Released: One Step Invoicing

Until now you needed to first add a Completed Procedure before you added it to an Invoice. With the new super fast One-Step Invoicing, we’ve made it a lot easier for you.

You can now add any procedure from the Procedure Catalog (on the right). You can also add procedures from your Treatment Plans and Completed Procedures. Adding Procedures to Invoices

In the Procedure Catalog, Completed Procedures are identified by a ‘Completed’ label appearing in Green color next to the procedure name. Similarly, the procedures from Treatment Plans are identified by ‘Planned’ labels.

The Planned procedures and the procedures added directly from the Procedure Catalog are automatically marked as Completed once the Invoice is saved.

To know more, check out How Do I Invoice a Procedure from Procedure Catalog?.

Resolution Center for superior support
