We had a user meeting today and medisoft medical billing software version 14 was the featured guest. We showed the new features off to existing customers and they really liked the dashboard and patient quick entry and global period features. We encourage you to visit our medisoft medical billing software website at www.medicalbillingsoftware.com/medisoft-software.htm

Medisoft medical billing software version 14 is still in beta testing. We’re getting some wonderful feedback from beta testers about the sexxy new “toy” called the Administrative Dashboard. The dashboard is a program that can run seperately from medisoft and gives you a snapshot and overview of key performance indicators. The dashboard consists of four categories;

1- logged in user list (lists all the users that medisoft recognizes as logged in)

2- totals — these are amounts or dollars representing things like total appointments; total AR; total claims, etc;

3- trending — these consists of graphs showing things such as a trend in # of appointments seen

4- warnings — consists of “rules” you setup for warnings if certain dollar amounts, such as total AR are above or below a certain dollar amount.

You can setup multiple different “profiles” for your dashboard so that the doctor can view certain information that he\she wants; the billing person can have their own profile, and the practice manager can view their own information in the dashboard.

Please post any questions you may have about the dashboard.
