Welcome to Practice Perfect 3.0!
Release 3.0.0.574
With this new release comes a major appearance change and a completely different internal engine that will provide for greater speed, flexbility and the handling of special characters and fonts in clinical documentation.
Due to the nature of the changes, if coming from a version prior to 560, this update must be installed by one of our support representatives and can take a substantial amount of time. Please contact us at [email protected] or via phone at (877) 510-7473.
Thank you.

Multiple Incidents:
The client booking portal is undergoing changes to accomodate those patients with multiple incidents. The first step in this process was to add new field called Web Description in the Incident tab under Incident Description. This field is to be used as the 'client facing' description of each incident in a language that will be meaningful to the client (eg; internally, the Incident Description may be "WAD II" but the Web Description could be "April car accident". The option to select the incident will be included in the patient portal within the coming months.
Defining Service Start time:
Under each Fee Code in the Patient Self-Booking tab, a new field has been added entitled Web Start Interval. This field allows you to define when this specific service can be offered - eg; 0:00 only, 0:00 and 0:30 only, etc (where 0:00 would be the top of any hour, etc). This function has not yet been enabled on the portal but will be immimently.
