Welcome to this week’s update from NikoHealth! We’re excited to bring you the latest features, enhancements, and improvements designed to make your experience even better. Whether it’s a new tool, an upgrade to an existing feature, or a behind-the-scenes tweak, we’ve got you covered. Read on to find out what’s new and how it can benefit you!

What’s New? 

Batch EDI 837 Download
This new feature enables you to batch download 837 EDI claim files for claims that aren’t electronically submitted via NikoHealth.

Key Features:

• Claim Submission Options: When submitting claims that are not configured for electronic transmission in batch, you will be prompted to select either a CMS1500 or an EDI file for generation.
• External Systems: This functionality is particularly useful for users working with 837 claim submission files in external systems outside of NikoHealth.

Tasking Visibility on Patient and Invoice Queue
We’ve enhanced tasking functionality by expanding it from the Orders Queue to the Patient and Invoice Queues.

Key Features:

• Task Visibility: You can now view any open tasks directly within the Patient and Invoice Queues.
• Quick Task Creation: Easily create new tasks without navigating away from the queues, streamlining workflow and improving task management.

Multi-Piece Shipment Label
We’ve introduced the ability to create multi-piece shipment labels, making it easier to manage orders with multiple packages.

Key Features:

• Multiple Labels from One Order: If your order contains more than one package, you can now generate separate shipping labels for each package directly from the same order.
• Cost Savings: Shipments with multiple parcels sent to the same destination can be grouped together into a single multi-piece shipment, helping you save on shipping costs.

This feature simplifies the shipping process, improves efficiency, and offers potential cost savings when handling multi-package orders.

New Order Status: “Ready to Fulfil”
We’ve introduced a new order status, “Ready to Fulfil”, to help streamline order processing.

Key Features:

• New Status for Enhanced Workflow: The “Ready to Fulfil” status can be used to indicate when an order is prepared for the next step, such as shipping, delivery, or dispensing.
• Flexible Use Cases: This status can be customized for a variety of business needs, providing greater clarity in managing orders at different stages of fulfillment.

This update helps you better track and manage orders as they progress through the fulfillment process.

Discontinue Products
We’ve updated the functionality for managing discontinued products in your catalog. Discontinued items can no longer be added to orders. Once an item is marked as discontinued, it will no longer appear as an option when creating either sales or purchase orders.

Key Features:

• Physical Inventory Display: Discontinued items will only appear during the order process if they are still in stock and available in an inventory location.
• This update ensures that discontinued products are no longer inadvertently selected during order creation, improving accuracy and efficiency in the ordering process.

Ongoing System Performance Improvements, Bug Fixes, and Optimizations

We’ve made continuous improvements to the system’s performance, including bug fixes and optimizations. These updates enhance the overall user experience by ensuring smoother functionality, faster processing, and greater reliability across the platform.
