Introduction Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1 Build 5031 is a milestone of Medtech releases as this version
explores new interfaces, teamed up with a technical migration from Delphi 5 to Delphi XE – which
provides the ability to support 64-bit Operating Systems. This release showcases the renovated
applications with new components, styles and icons.
IMPORTANT NOTE
From this version onwards, Medtech supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. All future
Release Notes and Installation documents will refer to the application as Medtech Evolution.
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 8 of 110
Overview Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1 Build 5031 is a key release from Medtech. This document
provides information on the new features: Dr Shop, Accounting enhancements, Scanning
enhancements, User Interface enhancements such as Screen Numbering, as well as several items
resolved since the last Medtech Evolution release.
Please ensure that this document is read and circulated amongst the Practice staff.
NOTE: Please ONLY run the upgrade at a time when your site is not required to be up and running
in a short amount of time. It is recommended that you run the upgrade after hours or on the
weekend where you would have adequate time to complete the upgrade.
NOTE: The amount of time required to run the upgrade is dependent on the specification of your
server and the size of ALL databases.
IMPORTANT NOTE
WARNING: It is HIGHLY recommended to employ ONLY qualified system engineers when
performing ANY installation and upgrade. The consequences of ruining a database during
upgrade could possibly lead to data corruptions and, as a result, data loss and systems downtime.
If in doubt, please consult with your qualified IT technician/service provider or contact one of
the Medtech Channel Partners listed on our website:

Functional and Interface Enhancements This chapter details the functional and user interface enhancements that have been
implemented in this release.
Splash Screen The initial Splash screen that appears while opening the Medtech Evolution application has been
redesigned, as shown below:
Previous versions of Medtech32
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 10 of 110
Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1 Build 5031
Medtech Icon The Medtech icons that appear on the toolbar above the Patient Palette section have been
modified, as shown below:
Previous versions of Medtech32
Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1 Build 5031
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 11 of 110
Actions Menu The most visible and key enhancement is the introduction of the ‘Actions’ menu. This menu
replaces the Context menu – which appeared next to the Module menu to provide additional
menu options for the active window. The Context menu will no longer display in association with
the active window. Instead the Actions menu will be available within the active screen and will
contain all the associated active screen menu options previously found in the Context menu.
Screenshot examples of the earlier Medtech32 Context menu are shown below, alongside its
replacement menu – the Medtech Evolution Actions menu.
Context Menu Actions Menu
Cascading Windows The Windows Cascading function is the ability to arrange multiple windows (that have been
opened) within the application, to be displayed in an overlapping view with the individual Title
bars remaining visible. This option has been included in Medtech Evolution and can be found in
the Window menu selections.
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 12 of 110
Tiling Windows
The Windows Tiling option is the ability to arrange multiple windows (that have been opened)
within the application so that they do not overlap each other. This option has been introduced in
Medtech and can be found within the Window menu selections.
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 13 of 110
Column Rearrange Remembrance Similar to the Screen Position & Size configuration settings, Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1
provides the ability to remember the column positions (if rearranged) of the individual screens (for
instance, Provider Inbox, Patient Inbox). No configuration is required for implementation of this
feature.
If the columns in any of the screens in Medtech Evolution are rearranged by the ‘drag and drop’
feature, then the required columns will be remembered and displayed as they have been set up,
when the screen is reopened again.
Screen Position & Size Remembrance There is an existing option ‘Remember Screen Positions’ in the Desktop tab of Staff Setup window
to remember the position of the individual screens within Medtech.
As an added enhancement to this feature, if this checkbox option is selected, the size of the
individual screens will also be remembered (in addition to the screen position).
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 14 of 110
Grid Column Sorting A Column Sorting option has been introduced in several windows to improve the view by enabling
the columns to be highlighted and sorted by the selected column order.
For example, in the Patient Medications window (Module Clinical Patient Medications), click
on any of the column headings to sort the Medication entries accordingly by Ascending or
Descending order.

Patient Palette Enhancements
One Click Access For ease of access in this Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1 Build 5031, clicking on the Patient’s
Name, Address or Phone Number as displayed on the patient palette, will open the Patient
Register screen of the active patient.
ATSI Status
The ATSI status of the active patient will now be displayed on the patient palette.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status for the active patient – selected in the More tab of
Patient Register window (Module Patient Register) – will be displayed on the patient palette.
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 16 of 110
Since the length of the ATSI status descriptions are quite long, the description will be displayed in
an abbreviated format.
Patient Phone Number on Palette
An option in the Codes & Defaults tab of Location Settings window provides the ability to select
which of the patient’s phone numbers are to be displayed on the patient palette. The phone
number options selected here will be those visible on the palette. This is a Global setting for all
patients.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The selection of the phone numbers to display on the patient palette has been restricted to a
maximum of two numbers. If all three phone number options have been chosen, then the warning
message shown below will be displayed when clicking the OK button to close the Location Settings
screen.

ManageMyHealthTM
Patient Email ID Auto-populates When registering a patient in ManageMyHealthTM (MMH) from within the Medtech Evolution
application, if the patient record in Medtech Evolution’s Patient Register screen has the patient’s
email address details recorded there, then those email details will be automatically populated
into the ManageMyHealthTM Patient Registration Advanced Form.
Medicare Number Auto-populates When registering a patient in ManageMyHealthTM from within the Medtech Evolution application,
and the Identification Type selected is the patient’s Medicare Card details, then the Medicare
Card No field in the ManageMyHealthTM Patient Registration Advanced Form will be populated
automatically from the Medtech Evolution Patient Register.

Accounting Enhancements
Payment Level
In earlier versions of Medtech, an invoice type ‘Group Invoices’ has been available in New/View
Payment Level window. Now this ‘Group Invoices’ invoice type has been removed from the
Invoice Type Combo box and introduced as a checkbox in Setup Accounting Payment Level
New/View Payment Level Main tab in Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1 Build 5031.
This field will be enabled only for the invoice types ‘Private’ or ‘Third Party Claim’ and the account
holder options ‘Prompt for Account Holder’, ’Patients Employer Account’ or ‘Account Holder
default (only when a ‘Company’ is selected as the Default Account Holder)’.
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 19 of 110
NOTE: During the Build upgrade, all the existing Payment levels with invoice type ‘Group Invoices’
will change to ‘Private’ and the ‘Group Invoice’ checkbox will be ticked. Also the account holder
option will be set to ‘Prompt for account holder’.
Also, in the Payment Level window, a new column ‘Group’ has been introduced to display the
invoice type of the Payment Levels that are flagged as ‘Group Invoice’.
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 20 of 110
Group Invoice window
The Group Invoice feature has been extended further to support invoicing using the ‘Third Party’
Payment Levels in addition to the ‘Private’ payment levels. Hence, the following changes have
been made in the Group Invoice window:
Patient – the ability to invoice for multiple patients in a Group Invoice has been restricted.
Henceforth, the Group Invoice can be generated only for a single patient (patient on the
palette).
Payment Level – the ability to invoice using Private payment level has been restricted. Only
the Private and Third Party Payment levels flagged as ‘Group Invoice’ (i.e. Injury & Non-
Injury) will be listed in the Payment level drop down menu.
NOTE:
1. If a normal Payment level (e.g. "Private") is configured as the Default Payment level in
the Patient Register, then on opening the ‘New Invoice (F9)’ screen "Third Party claim"
will be displayed as the Default Payment level and on opening ‘New Group Invoice
(Ctrl + G)’ screen the Payment level will be blank.
2. If a Group Payment level (Payment level flagged as ‘Group’) is configured as the
Default Payment level in the Patient Register, then on opening the ‘New Invoice (F9)’
screen "Private" will be displayed as the Default Payment level and on opening ‘New
Group Invoice (Ctrl + G)’ the Group Payment level will be displayed as the Default
Payment level.
Location – the Location field has been introduced. By default the logged-in location will
be displayed.
Copyright © Medtech Healthcare Pty Ltd Page 21 of 110
Third Party Claims – the Third Party Claims field will be displayed only for the Payment Level
‘Third Party Claim’ flagged as ‘Group Invoice’ (i.e. Injury) and it is mandatory to select the
respective Third Party Claim.
Referral – the Referral field will be displayed for all Payment Levels. Select the referrer from
the drop down menu.
Invoice button – the Invoice button has been moved to the left side of the window.
Group Invoice Management
The Group Invoice Management screen is the central point from which a user can manage the
compiling of Group Invoices. Due to the enhancement of Group Invoice, the following changes
have been made in the Group Invoice Management window:
The ‘Un-Invoiced’ and ‘Outstanding Invoice’ tabs have been replaced with the following tabs:
Private Un-Invoiced tab – where all the Private Group Invoices (Payment level ‘Private’
flagged as ‘Group Invoice’) that have been put on Hold will be displayed. Users can select
and compile the required invoices by clicking on the ‘Compile’ option from the ‘Actions’
menu or by clicking on the Compile icon .
NOTE: After the upgrade, all the existing on Hold invoices in Un-Invoiced tab will be
displayed in the Private Un-Invoiced tab.

field. Address and Phone number will be auto-populated after selecting the insurer.

Patient Name Validation in Patient Register window
As per the latest validation rules, Medicare will no longer be able to process claims where a
patient’s First Name and/or Surname contains special characters other than the ‘Hyphen’ and
the ‘Apostrophe’. There should also be no spaces before or after these permitted special
characters.
Therefore, Medtech has introduced a few validation rules to the Patient Register ‘Surname’ and
‘Given Name’ fields to restrict users from entering any special characters. The validations are:
No special characters can be entered other than ‘Hyphen’ and ‘Apostrophe’
Sales$ Sherry Robert (Bob) $Sales Sherry Sales Sherry
No space can be entered before or after the permitted special characters; i.e. ‘Hyphen’
and ‘Apostrophe’,
O’ Connor Anne –Marie O ’Connor Anne– Marie O ’ Connor Anne – Marie O’Connor Anne–Marie
Screen Numbering
Medtech has introduced unique screen IDs for each screen. This screen ID helps customers when
calling Support to report a problem with a particular screen. For example, the screen number for
Search Patient/Company window is ‘PA04’, as shown below:

MediSecure – DrShop
Thousands of Australians are addicted to prescription medicines. Addiction triggers patients to visit
multiple doctors to obtain more medicines than are medically required, which is known as doctor
shopping.
To overcome this, a Real Time Prescription Monitoring system has been implemented in integration
with MediSecure called Dr Shop.
Medtech is now integrated with Dr Shop to minimise abuse of prescription medicines.
Dr Shop will only be activated if a prescription is for a medication with addiction potential. If any
medication with addiction potential has been prescribed within the past 90 days, an Alert box will
appear (as shown in the screenshot below) when the provider prints the script. This will avoid the
risk of prescribing the same drug for the same patient within a short time span.
For further details on MediSecure – Dr Shop, refer to the user guide provided by MediSecure.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DrShop integration with MediSecure requires a new MediSecure Adapter to be run. For existing
Medtech Evolution users, after upgrading to Medtech Evolution 10.0.1 Build 5031, the old
MediSecure Adapter should be uninstalled and the new MediSecure Adapter should be installed,
otherwise MediSecure will not work. If there are any issues in installing the new MediSecure
Adapter, please contact MediSecure Support.

Medtech Kiosk One of the most important features of this release is the Medtech Kiosk. The Medtech Kiosk is a
front-desk kiosk application that allows patients to “self-serve” the common activities within the
reception/waiting room of a primary healthcare clinic.
The Kiosk is provided on a stand with a touch sensitive screen that allows patients to interact with
the application via screen touches. The Self–Check-in Kiosk can reduce the queues at the clinic’s
reception, thereby saving administration costs and valuable time.
Patients will be able to use the Kiosk to check-in for a pre-booked appointment and have their
encounter slip printed, update their demographic and Emergency contact details via the Kiosk
and have the details saved against their Medtech record. The updated details will be transmitted
to the Medtech Evolution application and approved by the Front Desk staff after validation.

ManageMyHealthTM Integrated with Health
Engine
ManageMyHealthTM has been extended and Health Engine Appointment Settings are now
included under My Practice module for each practice location in order to enable users to be able
to choose whether to provide Health Engine integration for a location.
This feature will enable guest users to book appointments with ManageMyHealthTM, the request of
which will be received by the doctors in Medtech Evolution under Reception Inbox with the
Patient name mentioned as “Guest Patient”. This way the doctor can differentiate between
registered patients and guest users.

Mad Except Error Message
In earlier versions of Medtech Evolution, the Mad Except error messages displayed with various
tabs, each with a log file being created with all the details available in the various tabs. The size
of the log files were huge, hence the information window “please wait a moment” was displayed.
While this message being displayed, users were unable to continue working in the application.
This issue has now been fixed in Medtech Evolution Version 10.0.1 Build 5031; the Mad Except Error
message will now be displayed with two tabs only. The log file will be created with less detail for
the two tabs of information, therefore the file size will be minimal and there should be no repeat
occurrences of the “please wait a moment” error.
NOTE: Before deploying this patch, please save the ME log files to a different folder location and
clear the log files to evaluate the difference in file sizes.
