What’s New in Atlas.md? The Patient Hub.

The mission of Atlas.md is, first and foremost, about connecting doctors with patients. While we’ve made huge strides in doing just that with our existing app, we wanted to make this process even more seamless while simultaneously providing patients and doctors with a wealth of new communication, account management, and payment tools.

Today we realize that vision with the release of the Patient Hub. This browser-based web app allows existing patients to quickly and easily create an account designed to interact exclusively with you and your clinic.

To register, simply send any existing patients a login link (or include it on your website, emails, or newsletters) or invite them directly from Atlas.md. Each login link is personalized to your clinic and can be found in your account settings.

Once signed in, patients can find all of your clinic’s contact details at a glance, reach out to you at their convenience, update their payment methods, and settle all bills and invoices.

We’ve also put a huge focus on managing appointments. Patients can self-schedule appointments based on your availability and be reminded of any upcoming appointments. This feature is completely optional, and you can enable or disable it easily within the EMR.

The Patient Hub will continue to grow and evolve over time. We’ll constantly be adding new features (and letting you know when we do) to further enhance the patient-doctor relationship and streamline communication.

To learn more about the Patient Hub, check out our doctor-facing and patient-facing support articles.

If you have any questions about the Patient Hub, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Community Forms

Hot on the heels of the launch of Community Contacts, we’re happy to announce our next community feature – Community Forms.

This feature lets you share forms with the Atlas.md community, review forms others have shared and copy them to your account for reference and use.

If you’ve created a very useful form for gathering ADHD data, for instance, you can share it on the Community Forms page, and all other Atlas.md users will have access to it.

To share a form, head to the Forms page, select the form in question, add a title and description, then share it with the Atlas.md community. You’ll also find a full list of shared forms on the Community Forms page if you want to add them to your account. Click here to read more about how Community Forms work.

Since forms are excellent for gathering particular types of data but time-consuming to create, being able to share and access forms made by experienced doctors is endlessly beneficial.

If you have any questions about Community Forms, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Community Contacts.

Ever wanted to recommend an excellent doctor, pharmacist, specialist, or any other awesome company or service to one of your colleagues? Now you can – quickly and easily within the Atlas.md ecosystem.

Building on our Community Macros feature, we’re excited to announce Community Contacts.

It allows you to share contacts with the Atlas.md community, review contacts others have shared and copy them to your account for reference and use.

To share a contact, head to the Contacts page, select the contact in question, add a title and description, then share it with the Atlas.md community. You’ll also find a full list of shared contacts on the Community Contacts page if you want to add them to your account.

This is the first of many additions to our Community hub that will make it easier for doctors to share important information – all with the aim of building a reliable, cohesive DPC community.

If you have any questions about Community Contacts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Bulk Form Invitations.

Surveys and routine checkups, while tedious and time-consuming, are necessary and endlessly useful.

Currently, it’s only possible to send forms out one at a time, which makes it really difficult to send out routine forms to large groups of patients.

That is, until today.

With the introduction of bulk form invitations, we’re making the whole process much more labor- and time-efficient by allowing you to send out multiple forms to groups of patients simultaneously.

You can send these forms to a doctor’s entire panel or refine your list by selecting individual patients.

You can do this from the new Bulk Form Invitations page, which you can find by heading to the Forms page and clicking the mail icon in the upper right corner.

You can also send a bulk form invite by selecting an existing form, clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner, and choosing “Send to Multiple Patients.”

Surveys, routine checks, and data collection just got that much easier.

To learn more about sending bulk form invitations, check out this help article.

And if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Community Macros.

At this stage of the game, it’s no secret that many doctors in the Atlas.md community are doing tons of great work to help patients.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was some way that their work could be shared with others?

This thought was the impetus for today’s feature release – community macros – which is the first step in a series of many which will enable users to share their content with the Atlas.md community.

Community macros allow you to easily share any macros you’ve made with other Atlas.md users.

Once you share an existing macro, it will be moved into a community library that all users can access.

This means that if you create a really useful macro or text shortcut for lab results, appointments, charting, or anything else, you can give the benefits of that macro to anyone else in the Atlas.md community who wants to use it.

You can remove the macros at any time, and if you prefer to contribute anonymously, we’ve made it possible to do that too.

Why is this feature important? Well, two reasons. 

Firstly, it fosters a greater sense of community by enabling more experienced users to pass on their knowledge to the next class of users.

It also makes it that much easier for new users to pick up the reigns and develop their own workflows, practices, and processes from seasoned users, as opposed to learning from scratch.

It’s just another way that we’re taking steps to nurture the most comprehensive and connected healthcare community. 

If you have any questions about community macros, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Invoice Exports to CSV and Multiple Growth Chart Printing.

Can you believe that the clocks have already been set back? Instead of worrying about earlier sunsets, we’ve made the most of the extra time gained, and as a result, have two exciting feature updates to share.

Firstly, we’re introducing the ability to export Company and Patient invoices to CSV files so that they can be opened and manipulated in spreadsheet apps like Excel and Sheets.

This will make it easier to review and reconcile larger invoices, especially for companies and other big clinics.

You can export the invoice in the same way you would download or email it – in the settings menu of the invoice page.

Next, we’re introducing a way to print multiple growth charts simultaneously.

Now, instead of exporting each growth chart manually and printing them one at a time, you can export and print all available growth charts simultaneously.

Not only does this simplify a tedious process, but it saves huge amounts of time too.

If you have any questions about either of the above features, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Draft Widget.

Do you ever wish you could quickly jump back into a note to finish any half-finished thoughts you jotted down earlier?

We’ve got you covered.

With the new Draft Widget, you now can access recent note drafts directly on your dashboard. 

Once you’ve enabled the feature from the dashboard configuration settings, you’ll be able to continue working on a draft by simply selecting it. If you find that the note isn’t exactly the magnum opus you had in mind, you can also discard it from the same menu.

You can access the full list of your drafts simply by clicking the title of the widget.

Now you will always remember to never forget another thought – no matter how half-finished it is.

If you have any questions about the Draft Widget (or any dashboard widgets), please don’t hesitate to get in touch at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Visual Charts for Lab Results Data.

Data of all kinds are interesting and beautiful.

But they’re not very useful unless you have some way of interacting with and understanding them visually. It’s like tracking your favorite stock’s performance with a list of numbers rather than a neatly-plotted graph.

To help better understand more types of data visually, we’ve introduced a way of creating charts for any imported lab results.

Now, you can generate a visual chart of the data and see how it changes over time.

If you’d like to see how a patient’s cholesterol levels are doing, for example, you can glance at a visual chart of their results and see how the levels have fluctuated over days, weeks, months, or years.

Simply head to the Vitals and Stats page of a patient’s chart and select which available lab results you’d like to see – Atlas.md will take care of the rest.

If you want to know more about how visual charts for lab results data work, check out this help article. And if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Assign File Inbox Item to Company.

The Files Inbox makes your clinic’s life easier by providing a quick and easy way to send attachments to your account and make them accessible to the entire practice.

For a while now, Atlas.md has enabled users to assign file inbox items to patients to keep better track of things like lab results and other external documents. Today, we’re extending that same functionality to companies.

Now, when you receive a contract, invoice, or any external document, you can assign that file inbox item to a company in the same way that you would to a patient.

Simply email files (or scan them to Dropbox or Google Drive) to your files inbox, then assign them to the appropriate company in order to keep all of your paperwork coordinated correctly.

We’re confident that this feature will help streamline processes for companies that deal with employment contracts and need to keep track of large amounts of paperwork.

If you have any questions about assigning file inbox items to companies, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at support@atlas.md.

What’s New in Atlas.md? Multiple-Choice Form Questions.

A while back we released the custom form feature that allows users to create custom forms to gather patient data. Today we’re expanding on that feature with the introduction of multiple-choice questions.

This expansion means that you can now include multiple-choice questions when building custom forms. The questions will display as a series of checkboxes that patients can mark when filling out the form.

This feature enhances the data collection process and is particularly useful for collecting information that may have more than one single answer in a form. It also makes building forms much more flexible.

If you have any questions about the multiple-choice form questions, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at support@atlas.md.
