Halaxy Release Notes

August 2023

  • Care team: Add your patient's care team to their profile so you can easily get in touch with them. Learn more.

  • Clinical goals: Enable goals for tracked data on the clinical dashboard. You can set a global goal for all patients, or an individual goal for each patient.

  • Sell packages online: Enable packages to be available for online purchase in your directory profile. (Note: Online bookings must be enabled to use this feature.)

  • SMS intake form: Manually send patient intake forms via SMS.

  • SMS payment link: Manually send secure payment links for invoices via SMS. (Available only for invoices billed to patients.)

  • Whole day billing: If you use automatic daily payments processing, there is an added option to process payments for all pre-scheduled appointments between 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. (For example, if your automatic daily processing time is at 9:00 AM, you'll also process payments for the day's appointments pre-scheduled for past 9:00 AM, up until 11:59 PM. However, if a patient walks in that same day at 2:00 PM, their payment will be processed the following day.)

  • Early billing: As part of the whole day billing (previous item), you can also opt to charge payees in advance for their appointments - up to 3 days prior - to reduce no-shows.

  • Practitioner address privacy: Added option to hide your complete address in practitioner directory profile preferences.

  • Organisation files: Upload file attachments to organisation profiles.

  • New access settings: Settings added to user access to enable/disable users in processing electronic payments (Auto Payments and Paypal) and refunds.
