Improvements
Enhanced Integration with DoseSpot for e-Prescribe
The integration with DoseSpot has been improved to ensure more consistent and accurate data in the Rx section of the Treatment Record, so the prescriptions you see in PatientNow Essentials is always up-to-date, eliminating the need to toggle between systems:
Prescription Lists: When a prescription is deleted in DoseSpot, it is now also deleted from the Rx screen in PatientNow Essentials, keeping your list consistent across platforms.
Prescribing Provider: The prescribing provider’s name is always displayed, ensuring accuracy and consistency with DoseSpot.

Updates to Client Record
Guarantor Field
A new guarantor field has been added to the client record, to ensure accountability for bills or outstanding balances. A guarantor is the person or identity responsible for a patient’s medical bill.
Birthday and Gender Fields
The client record also has new birthday and gender fields for:
Next of Kin

Guarantor
Please note that birthday entries are restricted to current or past dates, and gender options are limited to male and female.

Birthday Selection Update
PatientNow Essentials/EnvisionNow no longer allows you to set birthdays as a future date.
Going forward, the system will prevent the birthday entries that occur after the current date, ensuring that all records have accurate information.
