It improves the identification and management of in-house users and consultant doctors by ensuring that each user can be uniquely identified by their employee ID.

New Features
  1. Pause & Restart an Ongoing IVF Cycle: A new feature allowing the pausing of an ongoing cycle to cater to different business needs has been added to ARTis. For example, when a patient does not achieve the expected oocyte count in an allocated IVF cycle, they may opt for a double stimulation package (Stimulation and OPU). In such cases, this feature helps businesses manage their allocations effectively.
  2. Appointment Scheduling via User Websites: A new API has been developed that enables users to integrate their websites with ARTis, allowing patients to schedule their appointments directly via user websites.
  3. User Access Control to Manage Branch Licenses: In the IVF sector, there are many licenses to manage, and branch license expirations must be monitored for renewals. This feature has been added to better manage license expirations.
Enhancements
  1. Consultation Notes: In the previous design, we used to have a two-step process for treatment advice, observations, and medication. Now, it can be done in a single step, such as adding drugs and their quantities and adding content (comments, notes, remarks). Additionally, the UI now shows the details of the consulting doctor who has written the notes.
  2. Consumables in the Cycle Schedule: This feature provides detailed stage-wise consumption in the cycle, such as catheter, dishes etc.
  3. Billing Enhancements:
    • A column (Bill Number) has been added after the date column in the advances section of the billing module to help users validate advance usage.
    • Users will not be able to see discount approvers in the dropdown selection whose limits (the amount or percentage of discount being requested) have been exceeded.
    • Discount Request raisers can now view the count of requests they have raised and cancel them from the requests tab in the user dashboard. And approvers will see the requests in their ARTis inbox, and only approved requests will come into effect.
    • In an external vendor situation an user can now download a report to see a monthly count of investigations done by a specific vendor.
    • Users can add fields like 'Denomination, Count (Denomination Count), Amount Accepted, and Amount Returned' when bills are settled in cash.
    • Fields such as 'Cheque Number,' 'Bank Name,' and 'Cheque Date' are now mandatory to provide more detail within the billing module, easing reconciliation for the user.
    • The maker-checker concept has been implemented. Any changes for the discount rules can be controlled using this features.

  3. Cash Limit for Advances: In order to comply with the country's IT laws (Section 269ST) and provide a robust payment system, our billing module has implemented a flexible logic to restrict cash advances to below ₹2 lakhs as per Indian Income Tax laws. This restriction was already in place for payments.

Control over the 'Can Give Discount' option: Users with multiple branch memberships currently have the ability to give discounts for all patients registered with the branches where the consultant doctor/user is a member.
