Windows 7 Installation Update
posted Friday, February 05 2010 by admin
This is just a quick note regarding Windows 7 (W7) installations. I had posted a couple of notes regarding the installation of MedLook on W7. A few customers had problems with the installation (many more had no problems).
After wrestling (as in mud wrestling, it wasn't fun) with a couple of the problem installations I decided to do a little digging. It turns out my installation packaging software had an update just for W7. Apparently there is some sort of manifest file that helps with W7 installations. After re-building the setup program with the new software I have not encountered a single W7 installation problem. This doesn't mean there won't be another problem, but hopefully nearly all such W7 installation problems have been resolved.
The next release of MedLook 3.0 is just a few short days away. There is a fantastic update to the patient statements that we have all long waited for.
Trivia: How long did the 100 Years War Last?
The last trivia question was: What do Vatican City, Haiti, Costa Rica, and Grenada have in common?
The answer is: They do not have any military.
Save Time and Money with BillFlash!
posted Wednesday, January 27 2010 by admin
Just about everybody is feeling the economic pinch and we want to help where we can. We can definitely save you money on your paper patient statements. If you print 100 or more statements each month then you should consider using one of our eStatement services. Yes, we offer a choice. Each service brings something to the table the other does not and no one size fits all. I want to point out some obvious advantages of BillFlash.
Consider the costs to generate statements in the office.
If you purchase from Office Depot (as of January 26, 2010) on-line:
- Medical self-seal envelopes, a box of 500 for $42.99. That's 8.6 cents per envelop.
- Clean seal security envelopes, a box of 500 for $24.99. That's 5 cents per return envelop.
- Laser Print Paper, Ream of 500 for $8.99. That's 1.8 cents per page.
- One US postage stamp cost 44 cents.
Paper and postage cost alone are 59.4 cents per statement.
This does not include the cost for ink/toner, wear and tear on the printer, and time spent folding, stuffing, sealing, and mailing the statements. This can easily add another 20 cents per statement.
The economy is tough and we're being pushed to save every penny we can wherever we can. Let us help you make every penny count.
