Limitations

Offsite logging only deals with the patient's clinical record. It does not log any billing entries. This doesn't mean that you can't generate invoices and receipts whilst offsite. You can still do this, however you would need to print out the Daily Billing Report and Daily Banking Report so that your receptionist can re-enter the billing and receipting information in the main database.

Not all clinical data can be logged. The table below shows which records can be added, deleted or modified.

*CCs on letters are not logged and will need to be reinserted in the main database. They will be noted at the bottom of the letter but will not be recognised by Genie as a CC until reselected.

1. New patient records can only be added from Open > Patients. New patients cannot be added from the Appointments Book. Existing demographic information cannot be changed - only new information added to an empty field in the demographic (or Social & Family History) window will be logged.

2. Changes made to appointments will only be logged if 'Import changes to appts modified offsite' is ticked in File > Practice Preferences > Miscellaneous.

3. If Appointment Types are created while Offsite Logging, you will need to re-create the Appointment Type name when back on the network. The previously selected Appointment Type colour will be automatically assigned to this Type when re-created.

4. If you wish to view Images while offsite logging, you will need to take a copy of your images folder from the Server each time that you go offsite.

5. Items added to the Past History and Current Problem menus are not logged. It is only the actual items added to a patient record which are logged.

6. Any Merged Letter Templates or Referral/Reply Letter Templates that are created offsite should be saved to disk using the File > Save As... option in the template area. Then when back on the main database, imported by selecting File > Open in a New Template.

7. Offsite logging between two computers running Genie Single User (Genie Solo) is not recommended and not supported.

AS A GENERAL RULE YOU SHOULD NOT BE USING OFFSITE LOGGING TO CREATE ANY SORT OF TEMPLATES, MENUS, CHECKLISTS AS THEY WILL NOT BE LOGGED. OFFSITE LOGGING IS FOR EDITING EXISTING PATIENT INFORMATION, NOT AS A WAY TO SET UP YOUR DATABASE WHILE AT HOME!
