Management Application (MA)

Version 23

23.0.2

Fixed an issue with the "Clear Old Import Data" button doing too good of a job and clearing the cells Unlocked property. This would result in being able to clear the Import but not paste a new one into place.

Minor fixes when Excel is set to Automatic Calculation:

The F9 Stat Converter runs faster with automatic calculation turned on.

Changing a Business Segment's Type when not using the Advanced Business Segments wasn't showing the changed segment type on reports with automatic calculation turned on.

23.0.1

Minor fix for converting from base V21 MA.

23.0.0

Major Version Release

New Features

Converter Rework:

One converter handles converting from V17, V21, and older or equivalent V23.

It is no longer required to have the old MA open to perform the conversion.

You now have the capability of choosing where the finished file will save. The default is the location of the old MA.

Drill-Down Rework:

The Drill-Down is more focused.

Reports with the Drill-Down button have been enhanced to make use of this utility.

Filter button has been enhanced: Report items containing multiple Types and Sub-Types rolled up can all be filtered for at the same time. Example: Looking at an RN item containing Direct, Contract, and Per Diem labor will show all of those on the Account Lineup after clicking the Filter button.

New Window Enhancement:

Excel has a powerful feature allowing you to create a New Window for multiple views within the same file. It does, however, lose the view settings including the freeze panes when used. That is why we added logic within the MA to apply all the neccessary view settings to any newly created window.

To try it for yourself, go to the View tab at the top of Excel and click the New Window button.

Report Banding:

Banding (alternating color) has been added to the reports to make reading them even easier.

Account Lineup Enhancements:

Deleting accounts has been simplified. Select a cell on the row of the account(s) you wish to delete and click the Delete Selection button. The lineup and allocations for the account(s) will be removed. Make use of the Sort button afterwards to fill in the gaps.

New Add Missing button which will check the Import Tie-Out for any accounts not present on the Account Lineup and add them to the bottom of the Account Lineup.

The Account and Description columns may be resized between two preset widths by clicking <--> (Expand) and >--< (Collapse).

Enhanced F9 Support:

When performing F9 Analyze on the Account Lineup, you can now use the Current Sheet option.

Added what we call Analyze Assistant. After clicking Analyze Now, the MA will obtain the GL Amounts, apply a filter, break the account numbers into their segments, and provides a button to quickly filter for missing accounts.

Detailer Enhancements:

Added more fine control views to see only the Financial Amounts, NPR%, and Patient-Day Amounts.

New Modeling Utility for experimenting with your modeling or clearing out old amounts to start over. You can choose to clear the Allocations, Visit Design, and/or the Cost Engineering.

Allocations:

The Advanced Allocations have been increased from 4 to 15 segments.

Segment Style:

Version 21 introduced the capability to set a custom color to the Business Segments. Version 23 allows you to set the font color.

Upload Buttons:

A new Upload button has been added to the Controls. This "E-Mail Full MA" button will send the entire MA file to us.

The legacy Upload file logic has been reworked to make the uploads much smaller than before.

Business Segment Order Utility:

For those making use of the Advanced Business Segments logic, this utility empowers you to easily move your segments around. Previously you had to manually move the Stats on the Controls, your Allocation and Model amounts on the Detailer, and your amounts on the Visits report. Make use of this utility, choose the order you wish the segments to be in and let it take care of the rest.

Many other optimizations, enhancements, and fixes.
