Chart Tickler
Chart Tickler automatically generates reminder messages in selected Practice Partner Patient Records charts. This is useful for quality improvement audits, drug recalls, initiating new therapies, etc. The charts are selected using Patient Records Patient Inquiry utility or using PPRNet patient level reports. Chart Tickler is free, but optionally you may donate to one of the charities listed.
Quick Doc Coder
Quick Doc Coder allows the user to rapidly PLink document image files or code document text files for use in Practice Partner(TM) Patient Records. In both Image Mode and Text Mode, documents are processed in a batch process that does not require any copying, pasting, or even opening of Patient Records charts.
Features:
- Very rapid workflow.
- Eliminates time-consuming steps including opening a patient chart, opening a chart section, creating a new note, pasting in a document or a PLink, closing the note, signing the note (or not), closing the patient chart, opening the next chart, and so on.
- Does not tie up a Patient Records license.
- Lists are customizable to the practice's Report Titles, Chart Section Names, and Provider Names.
- Reports are automatically assigned to pre-defined Chart Sections (no "misfiled" reports).
- Optionally renames image files to "friendly names" allowing batch printing of all or some of a patient's PLinked Documents
- Patient list is imported from Patient Records
- Additions can be made to all lists on-the-fly.
- Optional DotCodes/Text will be loaded automatically with a report

MedicScan Card Scanner
The MedicScan card scanner/software allows rapid scanning of insurance cards. Patient Records 8.x now supports importing and displaying images of insurance cards through the Patient Screen. There is no longer a need to Plink the images. Multiple card images can be saved if the patient has more than one insurer or if the patient’s insurance changes. Here are detailed
instructions on setup and use of the MedicScan card scanner.

PPRNet Tools
PPRNet is a research network managed by the Dept. of Family Practice at the Medical University of South Carolina. It's members include over 100 primary care medical practices across the nation. All of the practices use Practice Partner Patient Records software. PPRNet analyzes medical data from these practices and designs interventions to help the practices improve quality of care. One of the more useful reports supplied to PPRNet members is the Patient Level Reports. These reports are Excel spreadsheets that contain detailed information on dozens of quality of care measures for each patient in a practice. The reports do not contain patient names or demographics. Patient Records has a utility that will look up patient names to match to the reports, but it is very slow and tedious to use. Don Stewart MD developed a macro to automate the process of adding patient names and demographics to the Patient Level Reports. His macros are available for download with his permission. To use the macro you must download and install MacroExpress.
