Brand new version of iGabinet platform to be introduced soon!
It is our great pleasure to announce that the new version of iGabinet is almost finished. The number of new features and updates is so huge, that in order to introduce all of them, we will have to divide them into separate news information. Therefore, we ask for your patience in this matter.
The main new feature, that took us almost half a year to develop, is the completely rewritten visit booking mechanism, which will rely on our innovative method of Adaptive Visit Terms. What does it mean? Please imagine that you no longer have to set specific visit terms, in favor of just setting your work hours for each day, week, or month (including lunch breaks, etc) with a click of a button. Now, the true magic happens – iGabinet automatically proposes optimal visit terms to your patients, so that your working time is scheduled in a best way. Sounds too good to be true? Well, please be patient.
Next, we are going to introduce a Patient Management Center, which will allow you to get instant access to every single information about a patient and his statistics, as well as to update his profile, schedule and manage the visits and do all the other things related. The PMC will be accessed with a single mouse click from anywhere within the system. We are pretty sure this will greatly improve your workflow.
Some changes have been made to the patient records. It will be possible to instantly get access to the full history of treatment of each individual patient, along with his visit terms, treatment results, subscribed medicines, and everything else related to his visits. As you remember, it is already possible to store custom fields along with each visit. Now the same will go with the patient information, so that you are able to create special fields to store custom information (like workplace, height, habits, etc.), anything you want.
The new version will also introduce the newest CMS that allows managing information on your websites. Editing each individual webpage will be much easier, and their XHTML code will be optimized for search engines, therefore your websites will be shown on closer positions in the search results. This will definitely have a positive impact on the number of new patients that will find your clinics this way.
The new iGabinet will also be much more comfortable to use, thanks to some usability improvements, both visual and functional. All the system confirmations that are shown after each operation is done, have also been changed, so that no single confirmation will show up unnoticed.
We are also going to introduce more pricing plans, in order to make the payments for the iGabinet service as flexible as possible. For our current clients, we will also have some pricing alternatives, so that they can choose which pricing plan to choose.
All the attractions that we mentioned above, will be introduced really soon. We will keep our clients informed about the update, and we will contact each one individually to help them move and start using the revolutionary new booking mechanism, as well as to provide them with proper education. Of course it will be possible for our clients to stay with the current booking mechanism, however we expect these cases to be really rare, if any.
So all of this will come to iGabinet really soon. Stay tuned!

Pharmaceutical compendium
This time we have a huge update for all iGabinet users. Just as we promised our clients few weeks ago, we have just finished a brand new pharmaceutical compendium module, which is a large database of all the medicines and products available in polish pharmacies. The compendium is integrated with visit descriptions module, as well as it can be used totally independently.
How does it work? Try to imagine the following situation: along comes a patient, who needs a prescription for an uncommon medicine, so and then you need detailed information about the available forms of this medicine, its counter indications, or more importantly its price (if it is not too high for the patient), and all the available substitutes.
The compendium is a great help here, as it allows you to instantly check all the necessary medicines in all the available forms, where each of them has a detailed description containing the following:
- package efficiency along with its price
- form of the medicine, along with its ingredients
- indications and counter indications
- sales admission or exclusion
- manufacturer contact information (website, phone no., fax no.)
- substitutes (medicines with similar effectiveness)
As you can see, by using the new compendium, you can quickly find out all the necessary information about the medicine that is the most suitable and acceptable (in terms of price) for the patient.
The compendium module has been integrated with visit description module, therefore you can prepare various recommendations for using specified drugs. The recommendations can be further placed in the visit details report, which you can then print for a patient.
The new module stores all the most frequently prescribed medicines by each specialist, as well as it stores all the recommendations for each medicine. These two functions, besides increasing the value of the whole module, allow you to use the compendium amazingly easily, because all the operations can be achieved only by using the mouse.
The compendium has a huge database, that contains more than 140 thousand of various medicines, cosmetic, therapeutic and rehabilitation products, and others. The database itself is constantly updated, therefore all the information you get from the module are always up-to-date. Again, our clients do not have to worry about the updates, as these are made totally automatically.
As always, we are waiting for you suggestions of further development and customization of the new pharmaceutical module. We can also reveal, we will use it as a base for another huge update ahead – automatic prescription generation. This is all we can tell for now, however we are also pretty sure that both modules will prove very useful.

Setup Print Parameters
Today’s update is quite small, nevertheless also quite vital. Due to the new print configuration tools, you are now able to very precisely adjust all the print parameters, that will be then used with various print functionality of iGabinet.
The need to create such setup tools, originally came from one of our largest clinics – Sonomed Specialized Medical Center from Szczecin (Poland). The problem was that the clinic has ordered its own corporate paper, with its own brand in full color on it and other stuff.
The goal was to get rid of standard contact headers and footers that are automatically generated by iGabinet and also to allow the clinic to customize print margins and spacing of particular elements on a printed page.
From now on, if you ever decide to use your own corporate paper, you will be able to do so, thanks to the new configuration tools, which make it possible to customize everything within seconds.

Yet another improvements in the specialists’ daily work schedules
According to huge popularity of the daily work schedules module in iGabinet, as well as due to many enhancement suggestions from our clients, it was the module our development team devoted few last weeks of work to.
We are deeply convinced the new functionality will fully satisfy your needs, because the new functions are supposed to both, increase the comfort and ease of use of the iGabinet, as well as to provide some new tools to manage the booked visits of patients.
One of the most anticipated functions was the ability to lengthen and shorten both the free visit terms that are potentially available for the patients to book, as well as to modify the length of visit that is already booked. From now on, it is possible to do all these operations quite smooth, and also the system will automatically calculate the time, that the visit term is modified with. In case of shortening operation, it will also insert a new free visit term that can be used by patients to book.
All the operations in the specialists’ work schedules have also changed, as everything can now be done in the familiar operational windows, which caused significant reduction in the number of clicks for each operation, and consequently the time necessary for each of them also has been greatly reduced. So go on, and check the new functionality out. We are always looking forward for your opinions and suggestions.
