Clinical Fox Changelog
Version changes & updates
Version 2.8.11
NEW FEATURE: Added new Settings that allow adding & removing of Clinical Fox's saved suggested hospitals, anaesthesia modes, operations, specialties, surgeons and tags.

Various bug fixes and stability improvements.
Version 2.8.4
NEW FEATURE: option to remove time item numbers from case events, while *maintaining* end time and duration. Use for events where start and end times need to be recorded but which do not have associated time items. Either tap the delete icon on the time item or long-press the 'increase end time button'.
Various big fixes.

NEW FEATURE: Quick Add item buttons in the Add Item Numbers field of patient details screen. Configure up to six item numbers (consults, ASA modifiers, emergency modifiers, anything!) to quickly add to the case. Emergency modifier will automatically select 25020 or 25025 depending on time/day criteria, and update as start & end times change! (A great feature request from MI!)
Special option for Quick Add button for 22025/22012A and 22020/22012V, so both line insertion & pressure monitoring can be added with a single (optional) button.
Configure in Settings - search for 'items'.
IMPROVED Sticker Scan algorithm.

NEW option to not ask for signature when sending quotes.
HOTFIX for problem with iOS software-keyboard when filling in some forms.
Version 2.5.15
STICKER SCAN further improved to catch edge-cases and incomplete sticker data capture:
New user Settings to allow customisation (search for ‘OCR’ in Settings):
Define exact HOSPITAL NAMES as they appear on stickers (improves capture of other data by reducing data confusion when misassigned to other fields). Use sparingly.
Define HOSPITAL NAME SYNONYMS - translate captured sticker hospital name to whatever name or abbreviation you use in your cases.
Define FUND NAME SYNONYMS - useful for stickers that use non-standard fund names, or for non-insurance based funding, such as public-in-private cases. Translates/maps a fund name or code from a sticker scan to a specific fund code in app.
Define SURGEON SYNONYMS - explicitly translate surgeon name as it appears on a sticker to your own preference for capturing to case data.
ADDED ability to have an additional art line & CVC insertion item (thanks Michael!)
NEW FEATURE: BULK ADD & REMOVE TAGS from cases on case list screen.
NEW FEATURE: optional PHONE NUMBER PREFIX setting to use when making outgoing calls to patients, eg. use #31# to block Caller ID.

Tapping a notification will take you straight to the Communications screen.
NEW FEATURE: BADGE COUNT of unseen notifications on app icon. Can be disabled in iOS Settings if desired.
BUG FIXES
Version 2.5.4
NEW FEATURE: SEND & RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES to patients from within the app, using Clinical Fox's SMS system rather than your own phone number. (Note: no background push notifications yet for receiving messages.)

NEW FEATURE: separators between days & surgeons in list view to highlight actual 'lists'. Can be disabled in Settings if you don't like it!
Version 2.2.16
HOT-FIX for sticker auto-OCR bug when creating a new event with a sticker. Also improved how Clinical Fox handles the funding (insurer, public, uninsured...) when detected in a sticker - it now makes an attempt to set your preferred unit value, as defined in Settings.
Version 2.2.14
Added AUTOMATIC OCR of photographed stickers (can be turned off in Settings).
Bug fix to prevent unexpected taps detected under camera viewfinder.

Version 2.2.0
The Christmas-in-March build: On-Device STICKER SCANNING & OCR!
NEW: When on the event details screen, a blue OCR icon appears in the lower-right of the sticker. Click to perform on-device text recognition of the sticker image. The app will then parse that sticker data to extract relevant info, such as name, DOB, phone numbers, fund details, etc. Parsed data will be added to relevant EMPTY record fields (no existing data will be overwritten). See 'OCR' section in app Settings for customising.
(If you just want to test the OCR without updating any fields, enable the OCR Debug option in app Settings. A new red debug icon will appear in top right of sticker.)
IMPROVED: better Settings search (and MORE user settings).
IMPROVED: case End-Times can be more-easily cleared by removing the time item number.
FIX: tracked down tricky bug that sometimes causes the app to get stuck on one case record.

BUG FIX: Keyboard appearing would block some fields! Now fixed. (Thanks JZ!)
Mooooar bug fixes!
Version 2.0.21
NEW BIG FEATURES: Send not just pre-op questionnaires & quotes, but also post-op checks and Patient Experience Surveys (with response number targets, external facilitators & response summaries). In addition to appearing on the patient details screen, responses are also collected on the new Communications screen, and pre-op/post-op response summaries can ALSO be optionally shown on the main case list screen.
IMPROVEMENT: Brighter & bolder tag colours (can be optionally turned off) along with (optional) tags showing which cases have been sent various questionnaires and surveys!
IMPROVEMENT: After adding even more user options to the Settings page, these have been organised into sections and a Search function added.
BUG FIXES: loooots of bug fixes...!
Version 2.0.6
MOOOAR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS to make the app even more responsive and stable.
UPDATED fund unit values to latest health fund rebates, improving accuracy of billing estimates.
Big changes under the hood PREPARING THE WAY for upcoming preop questionnaire and quoting functionality.
FIX: Various small bug fixes and tweaks.
Version 1.8.13
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS under the hood! Making the app even more stable, and the user interface faster & more responsive.
FIX: Several bugs, including fix for missing CVC pressure monitoring warning (thanks JZ!), and fix for incorrectly-calculated unit value for non-MBS ASA items (thanks JM!).
Version 1.8.8
NEW: Added new ‘Set 5-Minute Gaps’ setting that will set a default minimum 5-minutes between the end time of a case and the start time of the next case (although this can still be manually changed).
IMPROVEMENT: Optimised the smart time function, which determines the way start & end times are rounded up or down to the most appropriate 5 minutes when using the optional ‘Use 5-Minute Times’ setting.
Version 1.8.6
IMPROVEMENTS: major updates under-the-hood to improve performance, scrolling smoothness, tweaking of tag appearance, AND make the app even MORE reliable.
Version 1.8.3
NEW: Added ‘Advanced Filters’ feature to the dashboard’s Filter Case List menu (click the ‘list funnel’ icon in the top right of the appbar). You can now filter the case list by surgeon, specialty, operation, hospital, anaesthetic mode or tags (separate by commas to filter by multiple tags) – and add custom date range filters as well.
Don’t forget that long-pressing the filter icon in the app-bar will apply or remove your last-used filter - and this can even optionally sync across your various devices if you enable “User Last Filter on Start” in the Settings.
FIXES: squashed bugs effecting how case gap amounts are displayed in the case list dashboard for older cases using the old, less-accurate, quote calculations.
Version 1.7.8
BIG IMPROVEMENT: greatly enhanced accuracy of fee estimates. Non-RVG based items (eg. consultations, epidurals) now use look-up tables to calculate exact benefit paid by most funds. The MBS-RVG-equivalence of these items is not consistent between the funds, so the app now maintains a database of the latest fund benefits. Estimates are now usually accurate to within 50 cents of the total fee (there are unfortunately STILL lots of inconsistencies among the funds!).
IMPROVEMENT: better searching with patient names using an improved index. Not only can you search by last name (“escaton”) or (“hector”), but Clinical Fox can now match full names (“hectorescaton” or “escatonhector”), to narrow a search to ONLY specific patients - and even use fuzzy logic to quickly match patient initials (“he”), or abbreviated names (“escatonh”, “hescaton”, “hectore”).
NEW: Added ‘Find patient events’ function to the event action menu, allowing quick searching for all past events for the same patient.
NEW: Added new ‘Recently Changed’ filter that will show all cases in order of most recently changed/updated data. Useful to find old cases you have recently edited.
IMPROVEMENT: ‘Duplicate as Template’ option now better handles tags, and duplicates a case’s Surgeon, Hospital & Specialty fields.
UNDER-THE-HOOD IMPROVEMENTS: upgraded how some data is stored in your database. This will take about ~20 seconds to update when you first open this new version of Clinical Fox.
Version 1.6.22
NEW: paid subscriptions via either the Clinical Fox web app (using Stripe) or Apple’s App Store are now possible once you complete your trial account.
Clinical Fox has now also been approved and is available in the App Store!
Version 1.6.21
NEW: quick access to Private Notes or setting Gap Amount is possible from the main event list view and can be optionally set as actions for slider buttons. If you use the Private Notes field to record pre-op assessment information, medication or allergy lists, you can now quickly review or edit this without needing to go into the event details screen. Swipe left on a case and select the More actions menu, both Private Note and Gap Amount appear as actions in the menu. To set either as one of three optional slider action buttons, select Set Slider Actions, and choose up to three actions.
Version 1.6.20
IMPROVEMENT: Need to share a captured sticker or download it to your device for use in other apps? You can now click on the sticker in the Event Details screen to download the actual sticker image file – no need to take screenshots or use other workarounds.
IMPROVEMENT: The display of old version data of events has now been improved, making it easier to view and restore case data that you may have unintentionally changed. (To access, from the Event Details screen, go to More Actions menu → Restore old Versions).
Version 1.6.19
IMPROVEMENT: Better saving of state between app sessions, even if phone or browser reloads the app. So if you are using a particular list view (eg. filtering for Today, Flagged, Search, viewing Deleted items, or have no filters enabled) this state is remembered on each device. Note that unlike the optional 'Use Last Filter on Start' setting, local device state is NOT synced across devices. This is intentional, so you have maintain slightly different views of your data depending on the device (iPhone, iPad, laptop…).
Version 1.6.18
IMPROVEMENT: Gap amount now shows in list view of case index.
NEW: New options in quick action menu for cases in list view, allowing you to add or edit more data quickly without going to the case details screen.
Set Gap Amount
Edit Private Notes
Version 1.6.16
NEW: Tags! You can now add any arbitrary tag (label, category, whatever!) to cases to track or audit information that isn't already tracked in existing data fields.
Examples could include complications (PONV, sore throat, anaphylaxis), patient comorbidities (IHD, OSA, DM, obesity), risks (allergy), important medications (clopidogrel, SGLT2 inhibitors), techniques (RSI, TIVA), patient characteristics (anxiety, needle phobia, difficult cannulation, difficult intubation, difficult patient, overseas), billing events (bad debtor), supervision levels (for trainees) or anything else you want to track (perhaps they're a doctor, nurse or hospital staff member).
Tags can then be optionally shown in the main case list view to quickly highlight this information. If you 'Duplicate' a case for a returning patient, tags are copied across to the new record.
Tags are also tracked with your statistics, bringing us to the next new feature...
NEW: Logbook! While the existing Statistics screen shows revenue stats across different time periods (day, week, month, year), the Logbook screen shows relevant casemix stats for the same periods:
Case counts by month, day-of-week and time-of-day.
Demographic info if recorded: age range & average; gender.
Surgical specialty & hospital case counts.
Item number based case counts: consultations, modifiers, anaesthetic procedures and surgical cases.
Tag-based case counts: tracking whatever tags you apply to your cases!
Mode of anaesthesia.
Version 1.6.14
NEW: Event locking to prevent accidental editing! By default, Clinical Fox will now automatically lock an event's case and billing data once marked 'Invoiced' (this can be disabled in user Settings if not needed). Cases can also be manually locked or unlocked (via sliding 'More' menu on case list screen, or via padlock button in appbar on case details screen). A locked case can still be Flagged, Invoiced or Reconciled, have Complications or Private Notes edited, and have attachments added. The primary purpose of this is to prevent accidentally changing start and end times, deleting items, or altering other billing, case or demographic data after a case has been marked as Invoiced.
NEW: Added user setting 'Use Last Filter on Start' that will optionally always apply the last-used case filter on app start (will occur on first launch, or if app removed from memory and re-launched on mobile, or on web app when browser tab reloaded.) Thus if you like defaulting to a frequently used filter (eg. 'Not Invoiced' or 'Active Cases') you can have this always loaded first.
IMPROVEMENT: Long-pressing on Filter button in main appbar will now toggle between resetting (removing) the current filter or re-enabling last used filter settings. Single-press brings up filter menu.
IMPROVEMENT: When in patient-name search mode, long-pressing the clear-search-field button (X) will both clear the search field and close search mode.
IMPROVEMENT: Duplicating case events now includes surgeon and operation details from original event in the Private Notes field of the duplicate, and recalculates age for new event.
IMPROVEMENT: Age of patient is now shown in a compact form in main case list.
IMPROVEMENT: Add catch to rename "CUA" (for CUA HEALTH) to correct Eclipse code "CHF". Note that CUA is neither a valid Eclipse or HCP code (CPS).
Version 1.6.11
NEW FILTER: added 'Reverse Order' option in case filter menus, to order the case index by OLDEST first (reverse chronological order). Useful combined with other filters, such as 'Today' or 'Not Invoiced' when you might want the earliest (oldest) case at the top of the screen as for a printed hard copy theatre list.
NEW SETTING: added 'Restrict Consultation Auto-fill' option for JZ, so that when Clinical Fox autofills item numbers for a known operation, any autofilled pre-op consultation will always be 17610, even if you previously used an increased-complexity pre-op consultation (17615, 17620, 17625).
IMPROVEMENT: added progress indicators for tasks that take a little time (pdf generation, photo processing & upload).
BUG FIXES: pdf generation when missing data; camera rotation bug when taking photo of stickers or other documents; corrected potential conflict between 'Active Cases' filter and date filters.
Version 1.6.8
NEW FILTER: added 'Yesterday' filter to side-drawer menu, along with showing billing amount for prior day.
NEW FILTER: added 'Future' filter to bottomsheet filter menu (accessed via quick filter 'star' button in appbar menu) that shows only cases with start times AFTER current day.
FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS: refined behaviour and interactions between various case-list filters.
Version 1.6.5
NEW BEHAVIOUR: Single-tapping on the filter star icon in the main list view now brings up a bottomsheet menu of filters to enable or clear, and double-tapping now enables or disables the last used filter without the menu appearing. This change aims to make the UI more discoverable.
NEW FILTER: Added new 'Active Cases' filter to the menu which will then show only cases from Today, having no End Time and not marked Invoiced. These cases are also listed in REVERSE order from other views, so the oldest case appears at the top of the screen. Thus if you pre-enter cases for a list, your current case and every subsequent case will appear in descending order like a dynamic case to-do list. As cases are completed with an End Time, they disappear from the Active Case filter view.
Version 1.6.3
NEW JZ FEATURE: Select All! Because I have run out of excuses to delay JZ's much requested feature, in 'select mode' a new Select All icon button appears at the far left of the app bar. For performance reasons, this will select up to 100 case events in the current view. Press again to deselect. Enjoy JZ!
Version 1.6.1
BIG ADDITION to stats pages with new data visualisations:
NEW: Added monthly revenue graph to 'year' stats pages. For current year will show last 12 consecutive months of revenue, and calculate average monthly revenue, showing a graphed target line (excludes current month and zero-revenue months from calculation).
NEW: Added hour-of-day and day-of-week visualisation to stats pages - see case (start time) distribution for hour of day and day of week. These appear for all stat time periods where they make sense. (Touch points on the graphs to see billed amounts and case counts.)
NEW: Added warning notification if missing sticker when using slider to set case end time.
IMPROVED: updated styling of notification info and warnings to be more modern and easier to read.
Version 1.5.4
NEW: !!!! Automatic BACKUP OF PHOTOS of stickers and attachments locally to the device before uploading to the database. (Browse in iOS Files app → On My iPhone → ClinicalFox → backup-photos.) This ensures that if poor cellular reception or network errors prevent uploading a sticker photo, there is also a copy locally on your device that can be added later when internet access is restored. To add select 'Add from file browser' and find the missing sticker.
IMPROVED: Updated pie-chart of funding sources in stats reports to show percent of total cases.
IMPROVED: Changed maximum remembered event fields to be custom for each field type, notably 500 for first and last name fields, 500 for operation, 200 for surgeon.
NEW: Added count of selected items to appbar when in event selection mode. Appears for all device sizes from iPhone Pro Max and above, including all web app window sizes (and all iPhones when held in landscape).
FIX: Fixed bug preventing export of attachments as part of PDF's, and bug effecting saving of attachment export flag. Improved autosave and old version saving.
Version 1.5.0
ADDED: New widescreen layout for web app, iPad and landscape iPhones, reducing size of stickers and adding sticker thumbnail to the event details row (rather than a full-width sticker always appearing above an event's details).
IMPROVEMENT: Adjusted the case event's attachment 'Attach to export' checkbox so it is easier to see when in light-mode.
Version 1.4.8
ADDED: MDHF (Mildura Health Fund) with estimated unit value of $31.50.
IMPROVEMENT: Updated case event screen to sensibly autocapitalise certain fields, such as Last and First Names, Operation, Hospital, Fund codes etc. when using mobile app (web app unaffected).
Version 1.4.7 build 3
ADDED: FAI (GU Health) and Allianz as funding sources.
IMPROVED: How app handles new fund data.
FIX: Bug that caused PDF export to fail when some special characters were present in case data or patient name.
Version 1.4.7
When duplicating an existing patient record as a template (eg. used for when a past patient presents for a new procedure), added feature to also copy patient-specific modifiers to the new duplicated record (age, ASA class and P6 obesity modifier).
Added AHM as standalone fund (rather than just forcing use of MBP).
Fixed errors preventing deletion of records that don't yet have stats data extracted.
Version 1.4.6
Bug fixes.
Version 1.4.5
NEW: STATISTICS!
day, week, month and year statistics are automatically and continually recorded as event data is entered and updated.
The side-bar menu now shows current day, week and month total estimated billings
A new 'statistics' screen is accessible from the side-bar menu. It allows you to move between day, week, month and year summary stats for ANY date covered by your cases.
MORE STATS REPORTING TO COME!
IMPROVEMENT: when adjusting the start date from the event details page, the end date is automatically adjusted by the same magnitude if it has already been set.
BUG FIXES: lot's of little bug fixes
Version 1.3.3
FIX: Corrected a new bug that prevented scrolling in the list of delete events.
Version 1.3.2
FIX: Another attempt at bug occasionally preventing event record screen from being closed. (A workaround was to use a swipe-from-left-edge to close the screen instead).
FIX: A bug sometimes allowing duplicate item numbers to be automatically added to records.
Version 1.3.1
FIX: Occasionally a bug in the ? autosave process prevented an event record screen from being closed. (A workaround was to use a swipe-from-left-edge to close the screen instead). First attempt to fix this weird bug.
Version 1.3 build 2
NEW: Added smart graphing of case stats for surgeon, specialty, hospital and funding sources.
NEW: Added 'Duplicate as Template' option to events, to allow quick creation of a new event for a past patient. This creates a new event with demographic and funding information, including previous billing instructions (eg. gap vs no gap, set unit value or set out of pocket) and any private notes.
NEXT: Working on continuous capture of case stats for revenue and logbook reporting.
Version 1.2.7
NEW: Added option in user settings to customise three action buttons in the event 'slider' in the list view, to reflect actions most commonly used: marking an event as flagged, no gap, invoiced, reconciled or deleting.
IMPROVEMENT: Further UI tweaks.
Version 1.2.6
NEW: Added 'invoiced' button to slider actions in event list view.
IMPROVEMENT: Further UI tweaks.
Version 1.2.5 build 2
Added crash reporting.
Version 1.2.5
FIX: Improved behaviour of the End Date and End Time fields on the details screen to default to use the same date as the Start Date/Time even if this is being entered on a later day. (Thanks JZ!)
Version 1.2.4
Changes:
NEW: Added newly-commissioned app icon for Clinical Fox.
IMPROVEMENT: Tweaked appearance of index list of main events screen.
NEXT: Now working on clinical and financial reporting feature.
Version 1.2.3
Changes:
NEW: Stickers (images) and attachments can now also be uploaded via the web app (app.clinicalfox.com).
NEW: On iOS attachments added to cases can now be any file type (eg. PDF) selected from iPhone/iPad Files app, in addition to using phone camera to take a photo of a document or selecting from the photo gallery.
FIX: Many more bug fixes in autosave to catch edge-cases, mostly to do with attachments & stickers.
Version 1.2.2
Changes:
CHANGE: Improved handling of auto-adding item numbers when a previously used operation is entered. Now the app will ONLY add item numbers from a previously used operation if they are not incompatible with other item numbers already entered. (eg. you've already entered 17615 in item number field, but then enter an operation that the app has previously associated with 17610 - it will no longer automatically add 17610. Note, when you then SAVE the event details, the new 17615 item will be associated with the operation (instead of 17610). Clinical Fox bases automatic item numbers on the items you LAST entered for the matching operation.
FIX: Improved saving of remember item numbers associated with an operation so this only happens when you explicitly close/save the event entry (not with autosaves).
FIX: Autosave bug that was saving even when there hadn't been data changes.
Version 1.2.1
Changes:
FIX: Added missing fund, Latrobe (LHF) $25.50/unit = 125% MBS. Sigh...
Version 1.2
Changes:
NEW: Continuously autosaves data in background as you enter information on the case details screen in order to prevent small but annoying amounts of data loss in certain situations (thanks JM!). Autosave happens after 5 seconds of inactivity.
NEW: App warns you when exporting PDF if expected item-combinations are missing (eg. pre-op consultations, time, surgical items, IT opioid for CS, pressure monitoring for art line/CVC insertion, ASA modifiers for cardioversion...).
NEW: Now remembers last 100 patient first & last names to speed entry for follow-up cases. Seeded with the most common 100 Australian surnames in 2021, and the 100 most common first names for Australians born in the 1980s.
CHANGE: App will worn you if you enter invalid mobile no, email or medicare number.
CHANGE: Small UI & UX updates to improve usability.
Version 1.1
Changes:
NEW: Synchronised web-app available now at: app.clinicalfox.com - fully functional EXCEPT not (yet) able to upload files/images (ie. stickers & attachments). So now when back at your laptop, run the app in a browser window alongside your billing service/email app etc. to complete your day's invoicing.
NEW: Added (for JZ!) optional demographics, contact and medicare/fund number fields for situations where a sticker isn't available and you need to capture this information. Reveal these optional fields by tapping the "person +" icon next to "Last name" and the "list +" icon on the right of the action icon list above the "Unit Value" field. By default these fields start hidden, but can optionally default to be shown via user Settings.
FIX: Corrected bug preventing adding ASA items (eg. CV009) to patient events (thanks JM!). Fixed several other minor item number bugs, including preventing duplicate entry and some PDF export bugs.
Version 1.0.1 build 2
Changes:
NEW: Added option to restrict start & end times to 5-minute blocks only. Start times ROUND DOWN, End times ROUND UP to nearest 5 minute time, though trying to ensure no overlap between consecutive cases. To enable this, turn on the "" option in settings.
CHANGE: Autocorrect suggestions disabled in search bar.
CHANGE: Buttons flank start & end dates now move dates back and forward one day.
CHANGE: Improved appearance of dialogs allowing addition of new funds.
FIX: Some more minor UI & UX improvements and tweaks.
Version 1.0 build 3
Changes:
NEW: App much smarter when entering case Fund value. Corrects synonyms (eg. HCP codes → Eclipse codes; MCL → BUP, AHM → MBP etc.). Added new function to optionally create a new fund code and associated default unit value (eg. for Public hospital FFS). (Thanks JZ!)
CHANGE: Removed Procedures field from events (data preserved if previously used / let me know if concern). With addition of item numbers, no longer had role in current form. Plans to add back with more advanced functionality.
CHANGE: Tweaked colours of Light Theme - just because BOC is wrong about Dark Themes, he still shouldn't be punished with an unpleasant Light Theme.
CHANGE: Refined actions in appbar to enable show/hide sticker button when in Search mode or viewing Deleted items, and enabling Select actions when in search.
NEW: Double tapping Clear Search button (x) now closes Search mode (in addition to appbar forward arrow doing same).
FIX: List view now scrolls to top when tapping title bar.
FIX: iOS autocorrect now disabled for Last name, First name and Surgeon fields. (Thanks JM!)
FIX: When fund is UI, WCA, MVA or Public, unit value is now automatically set.
FIX: Found and fixed bug where open keyboard would block taking photo of sticker (Thanks JZ!!).
Version 0.99 build 6
Changes:
FIX: Bug preventing sign-out and successful sign-in without force quitting app.
NEW: On the event detail screen, clicking on an item no. chip brings up item information bottom sheet that now also includes the estimated fee for the item on this specific case.
CHANGE: Exported PDFs are now A4 size (previously A5) to improve information density. Good?
NEW: New user setting to choose between Units, Fees, Units & Fees or None to be shown in table of listed items in exported PDF.
CHANGE: Refined search bar icons & functions to better represent action.
Version 0.98 build 1
Changes:
Feature: Added ability to quickly change action of 'Quick Filter Button' (star) in menubar by double tapping.
Feature: Added ability to clear End DateTime by longpress on end-time increment button.
Improvement: menu and appbar wording.
Improvement: focus of search textbox when already contains search term.
Fix: corrected mislabeled link back to Sign In on Password Reset screen.
