Release Notes
| Release Type | Date | Release | Comments |
| ADC Application | 09.15.2024 | v 12.0.0.5 | Major Release
Updates have been done for the Ajax search for abbreviations for both the Dental and Bone and Soft Tissue Charts. Under Practice Settings, options have been added to select either an Any Character Match or a First Character Match when searching by Abbreviation and by the Medical Description. The default setting is an Any Character Match.
An Other field has been added to the optional titles for Clients, Referring Vets, and Practice Users in ADC. The same option has been added to the registration for ADC new users.
This is very useful if you wish to add “Mr. and Mrs.” as a Title for a Client. It gives many other options such as designating a member of the police, military, or royalty, or a giving a religious title. The Title can also be left blank.
For the Anesthetic Monitoring Chart a major improvement has been done by adding a dropdown list of previously entered preanesthetic drugs, induction drugs, and local anesthetics. After this upgrade, any drugs that are added to the dropdown lists can be easily selected without having to type each drug. This gives a custom pick list. This also permits adding and editing of new drugs that have not been used previously, and the deletion drugs that are no longer being used.
A Discharge Summary has been added under Client Charts/Education for which templates can be created in Medical Record Templates. This makes it easier to edit the Discharge Summary within ADC with the use of tags that are automatically filled. These are also saved directly in ADC and do not need to be edited in a third party application to then be saved back into ADC.
The Custom Library is still available for adding general information documents, images, and videos that can be selected to share with Clients in Annotated Client Education.
There have also been some updates made for images being added to Case Summary and this is duplicated in the new Discharge Summary.
This is a huge improvement to being able to add rows to each Discharge Summary in order to drag and drop an unlimited number of digital photos or x-ray images into each file that are specific to the Patient. A comment can be added under each image, the same as for the Case Summary for Referring Vets.
A feature has also been added so that if any additions or changes have been made to any medical record and exited without saving the record, an ADC Notice is displayed to alert the user to confirm exiting without saving the record.
Finally, new features have been added if you wish to print a medical record. When editing a Consultation, Recheck, Case Summary, or Discharge Summary, select Print Preview at the bottom of the page. When Print Preview is selected, a digitally signed pdf is created to review the page breaks of the medical record before the file is saved. If a page break needs to be added, place your cursor in the medical record where you wish to add one.
Then there are two ways to insert the page break:
Then select Print Preview again and check to see if the medical record page break is in the correct place before selecting Save. Additional page breaks can be added as needed, and to remove ones added in the incorrect place, edit the medical record and delete the [Page Break] entry within the text.
Tips for Using ADC
As a helpful tip, in order to prevent your computer, tablet, or device from closing the Animal Dental Chart app during periods of inactivity, please set the Sleep mode for the PC to Never. Enter and select Sleep on the lower Windows search field. Select Power & sleep settings> Sleep On battery power, PC goes to sleep after NEVER, Sleep When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after NEVER.
Windows is always trying to install updates on your computer, desktop, or laptop. This may lead to keyboard locking issues due to conflict from Windows Updates launching automatically when Animal Dental Chart is running. To prevent this conflict with the active multi-threading of ADC, please enter Settings on the lower Windows search field. Select Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update> Advanced options> Download updates over metered connections> ON.
When you set a connection as metered, Windows won't automatically download updates on it. Windows will automatically set certain types of connections such as cellular data connections as metered. However, you can set any connection as a metered connection.
It is important to continue doing Windows Updates, only when it is not interfering with ADC.
Go to Windows Update at the end of each day and select the Check for Updates button at the top to download any updates if they are available.

| ADC Application | 02/27/2019 | v 5.5.0.5 | The practice director may now reset medical record locks (of each type of medical record) using Practice Settings. Medical Record templates were improved, rich text notes are more accurately rendered in reports and images are now supported. When importing patient and client data, an import verification report is e-mailed to the person performing the import. Quick view now works when adding a new medical record. Ten medical record types, patient, client, referring vet, medical history and calendar records now protect users from simultaneously editing the same record. |
| ADC Application | 01/09/2019 | v 5.5.0.4 | This release adds additional Template tags to Medical Record Templates. Other small minor changes were made to various screens. |
| ADC Application | 12/28/2018 | v 5.5.0.3 | The culture is now set within the ADC application. This enables the application to be compatible with non-English character sets (such as French and German) while also supporting differences how decimals are reported. Considerable effort was expended to test a University of Montreal laptop to ensure all fields, notes, and titles support non-English characters. For Dental Charts, the "Duplicate" feature provides advanced processing of a duplicated Dental Chart. For example, if a Dental chart defined an extraction procedure (X, XS, or XSS), the duplicated Chart will process the tooth as now missing (T/M). This processing applies to CR/A procedures so the Duplicated Chart will process the tooth as TR5 (Tooth resorption stage 5). See the ADC User Guide for details. GR/E values have been added to replace GR. The entries for GR/E default to negative values for GR, but tapping a + sign changes the entry to positive for GE. Medical Record Templates have been expanded for Consultation, Recheck, Progress Notes, and Case Summary so that 8 "Template Tags" may now be utilized for each one. See the ADC User Guide for details. Other minor issues were corrected, and various prompts and tool-tips were changed. |
| ADC Application | 12/06/2018 | v 5.5.0.2 | This release adds variable tags in Medical Record Templates. Tags allow a form variable such as "Patient_Name" to be dynamically replaced with the actual patient name (value), enabling you to create more versatile medical record templates. Six tags are currently supported. We will be be expanding the types of variables supported to some 25 tags (Client, Patient, Referring Vet, Veterinarian) and providing the tags feature in Consult and Rechecks in a future release. The Impromed Data Import was also improved (default Integration values can be preset).

This feature streamlines medical record entry.
New: When a Case Summary, Consultation, Master Problem List, Progress Notes or Recheck is changed, you are now prompted to Save if you unintentionally exit. New: An "Images" feature was added to Case Summary. You can add as many images as desired, 2 per row, 6 per page, with each image supporting a text description. Images can be manually selected from your PC, or they can be dragged and dropped from an images folder using Windows Explorer. New: Case Summary images may be quickly viewed using the "Images" icon displayed on Case Summary tiles. When viewing a Patient's records using QuickView, Case Summary records also provide the Images icon. New: Case Summary audit logs records also detail images added. Various other minor changes are included in this release. |
| ADC Application | 07/16/2018 | v 5.0.0.3 | ADC now supports screen "scaling", where very high resolution video monitor screens require 125%, 150% or 200% scaling. Future updates have now been automated, simplifying future updates. This update also includes other minor fixes. |
| ADC Application | 06/18/2018 | v 5.0.0.2 | Major Performance Increase - When a Dental Chart is saved, processing time was reduced to 4.5 to 6.5 seconds. The save process also identifies "under-the-hood" activities completed. Other improvements include: Searching: When searching for a first or last name containing 2 only characters, simple type a leading (last name) or trailing space (first name) to instantly find a list of matching clients. Various minor issues were corrected related to blank searches, using shared e-mail addresses (Referring Vets) fixes and subscription settings. Server side (no new ADC release required), over the next week, we will be reducing the [Save] time process for all other records, reducing time by 2 seconds for each different type of medical record. |
| ADC Application | 06/13/2018 | v 5.0.0.1 | Major Release - Patient Quickview feature added, when viewing patient records, click on the bottom taskbar QuickView icon to quickly view patient records. Admission Consent form was improved to allow procedures to be defined and saved, with client signing taking place at a later time if desired.

Note the Client and Referring Veterinarian Portal interface (Search/Filtering for Patient Medical History) and for Icon changes will be updated May 2nd due the QA process related to the API changes released on May 1st. |
| ADC Application | 03/25/2018 | v 4.0.0.5 | Practice Settings – Client and Referring Vet Welcome E-mail content may now be customized and previewed. The Practice Logo added in Practice Settings will be included in Welcome E-mails. The Animal Dental Chart Veterinary Practice Registration now requests a common e-mail address used to reply-to the Practice (it can be changed in Practice Settings). Set this to be a common address, such as info@your_practice.com. Note the descriptor portion of the reply-to e-mail address will use the Practice name. |
| ADC Application | 02/23/2018 | v 4.0.0.4 | A date formatting issue was corrected related to the dd/mm/yyyy date preference setting in Practice settings.

| ADC Application | 02/05/2018 | v 4.0.0.1 | This is a MAJOR release. Changes/Improvements include:
All 16 different Dental Chart Quadrant images are now higher resolution (quality improved) and two times larger. A new technology was implemented to mask out changes enabling images to be automatically colored (and edits retained) even when color changes are applied after the quadrant was edited using the double size image. All Bone and Soft Tissue images are now higher resolution (quality improved) and two times larger. Both #1 and #2 items improve the overall editing experience, allowing finer details to be captured and reported. All medical records now appear in the Patient Medical History listing for a patient. Previously, Home Care and Client Education records did not appear in the Patient Medical History list. The Patient Medical History List now displays records ordered by date of medical record AND server date/time in descending order. For example, if 5 records were added on the same day, they will appear in order they were added. The Referring Vet Portal and the Client Portal now lists medical records in the same order as the Patient Medical History listing (record date, server date/time descending). A major feature was added which provides a patient medical history audit log report:When any type of medical record is added or changed or deleted, an entry is made into the Patient’s “Audit Log”. Each audit log record is accompanied by a PDF report of the medical recordEach PDF report is digitally signed by the server, using the SSL certificate of the server. This feature ensures that the reports are verified as being accurate and changes to them have not been made as edits will invalidate the digital signature. Records listed in the audit log are in the same order as the Patient History listing (but will include changes and deletes). Even if a dental chart or any other medical record is deleted, previous add or change actions, including the PDF reporting will be documented in the audit log. This allows records to be viewed at the state they were when saved, and also allow deleted records to be viewed. In essence, all activity is captured and the signing ensures that records cannot be altered. Practice Settings now allows the Practice Director to define access to the different roles that may use this feature. If access is assigned, when the role (ADC user) views a Patient’s Medical History, a button will appear to “Retrieve” the audit log for the patient. A PDF will then be launched detailing all medical record additions, changes and deletes. Since the audit log is a new feature, digitally signed PDF records and audit log entries will be created for ALL medical records that were defined prior to this release for each practice. This ensures a fresh starting point for the audit log, noting that changes and deletes prior to this release cannot be generated as such was not previously tracked. All PDF reports now provide utilize a common “Header” for reporting consistency. Three different types of headers are utilized (1 landscape for the Dental Chart, 1 for general items such as note type records, and 1 where the teeth type is required (Permanent or Deciduous). Practice Settings: A View button was added which opens a web page to http://animaldentalchart.com/periodontal-measurements. When a Client or Referring Vet is added, if there is an e-mail in-use conflict, a notice is now displayed detailing the name of the conflicting client or referring vet that is using the same e-mail address. This helps the user to determine what and where definition changes as required. When a Referring Vet is added or changed, the option to use a shared e-mail address is now provided. Previously, the sharing option was provided only when adding a Referring Vet. This option provides more versatility when Referring Vet practices use a common e-mail address. When a Client or Referring Vet welcome e-mail is sent, a label was added to state the date when the welcome e-mail was last sent. For example, after sending an invitation e-mail, a label will appear that states “Welcome e-mail last sent mm/dd/yyyy” (formatted as per practice settings date preference). Note the “Send Initiation” checkbox is an ACTION, whereas the label states when the last invite was sent (informational). As such, by default, when changing a client or Referring Vet, the option to Send Invitation is not checked by default (it is an action, not a status). Also, e-mail invites reset the recipient password so we must not check this option by default. Dental Chart records may now be duplicated. When tiles are displayed, a new icon is present “Duplicate as New Chart” which duplicates an existing record as a new record using today’s A prompt appears to confirm the process. Upon duplicate success (a notice is displayed), the user would then edit the duplicated record to add or document progress changes. This feature assists to add new dental charting progress information while retaining previously charted information. Bone and Soft Tissue records may now be duplicated. This feature is the same as the Dental Chart “Duplicate as New Chart” feature but is related to Bone and Soft Tissue Charts rather than Dental Charts. When changing a Dental Chart, when tabbing through PAL and PPD measurements, the application now selects the previously entered value. This allows a new value to by typed in (overwriting the previous value). Previously, the new value entered would append to the previous value. This feature allows for faster editing. When changing an Anesthetic Monitor Chart (page 2) values, tabbing from field to field now selects the previously entered value. This allows a new value to by typed in (overwriting the previous value). Previously, the new value entered would append to the existing value. This feature allows for faster editing. A few Abbreviations were updated. The registration portal requested a link to the Practice’s Licensing Body. The link field length was expanded to support longer URLs. For practices that edited dental chart quadrant images prior to this release, the editing process will automatically revert to the previous version (as the new editing process is incompatible with the previous version). Therefore, all dental records which have a server date/time change date prior to release date, when changed, will revert to the previous “code and images” version (the system is simultaneously supporting 2 release versions). For practices that edited bone and soft tissue images prior to this release, the editing process will automatically revert to the previous version (similar to #30) as image edits cannot be migrated due to the 2x size change. |
| ADC Application | 12/28/2017 | v 3.1.2.7 | MAJOR DENTAL CHART CHANGE: A new, highly advanced, technical approach improves the quadrant editing process. For example, if you select Edit Image you can add freehand annotations or add text, then select Save and only the annotations (less the background) are applied to the new quadrant image. This improvement allows quadrant image edits to be retained after any Diagnosis or Procedure is added, changed, or removed and Apply is selected.
