Automated Task Scripting
If you have any repetitive tasks within Vision that
you would like automated, whether it be for a one off project or
continual usage, we would be pleased to write it for you.
These little scripts can be written to perform in
many different ways, i.e. your task could run when a specific window
opens, or you may have it assigned to a hotkey on your keyboard or even
a floating toolbar button.
There are also many task driven scripts on our
website using Microsoft Excel i.e. to open specific external files and
automatically write out complicated formulas.
The possibilities are virtually endless and there are
also many freely available scripts on our website and listed below for
you to download and use within Vision or any Microsoft Office
application.
However, if you aren't able to find what you need on
our website, and would like us to write a specific script for your Vision practice, please email
us detailing what action you would like carried out within Vision or
within a Microsoft Office application.
Listed below are a variety of free task driven
scripts written to provide additional support for Vision users.
Quick jump Index
This hotkey will quickly show the preferred pharmacy
setup in Vision for the patient within Consultation Manager (if at all),
rather than having to keep referring to the preferences tab on the
patient details screen.
It reads the information from the Patient Details
tab, therefore this screen must exist in the patient record view.
Once you have double-clicked the executable a pill
icon will be displayed by the system clock, which has some right mouse
click features to enable you to add a shortcut icon to your desktop or
add to the startup folder.
The hotkey is Ctrl+Home on the
keyboard to see examples as shown below.


Updated: 01/09/2010 - Version 2.00
This hotkey can be added to your Startup folder or
Desktop and when run will just sit in the notification area waiting for
you to press Win+F11 on your keyboard ("Win" refers to the Microsoft
Windows flag on your keyboard).
It will always maximise DXS and go straight to the
Home page; which details all the sections with regards to the
highlighted code in Vision. Alternatively, if no Read code is
highlighted it will open on the "What's New "section in DXS.
To add to Startup folder or Desktop just right mouse
click on the DXS icon in the notification area (by the clock or bottom
right section of the screen)

Kill all IOS messages
automatically
This program has been designed to automatically close all those IOS
windows that appear in either Consultation Manager or Registration.
Once open right mouse click on the icon in the notification area to
add it to your startup folder, or desktop (if on a remote server).
You may also temporarily Suspend it or toggle the keyboard Pause key.

This program has been designed to copy mobiles numbers exported from
Vision into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and prepare it to be pasted
into the NHS.net SMS message recipient textbox to enable bulk messaging.
Within Excel it will ignore any #N/A statements, the column header
which must only be called "Mobile" and add a semi-colon separator
between each mobile number.

Updated: 07/03/2010
To be used in conjunction with the
Future Appointment Wizard Program.
This little script was first designed by Kevin Mullan (INPS Trainer)
but has now been completely re-written by us to enable a patient
workgroup to be created from either PAT_ID/NHS No/CHI No
When using data within Microsoft Excel, this new all in one version
will automatically:
- Remove spaces from NHS numbers as this is required for Vision
- Pack out the CHI number to a 10 digit format, by adding any
missing leading zeros which Excel removes

Version 1.1
Updated: 26th May 2010 for V17 QOF Guidelines
Fed up of having to keep adding all the QOF Read code triggers every time a
new QOF guideline is updated.
Well fret no more as this little
script will add them all for you.
Once you have downloaded and installed the new QOF Guideline, just open Consultation Manager and
double click on the executable to start the process.
Note: This script
is currently only set up to add V17 Read codes. (An updated program
will be written for subsequent QOF updates)

Please make sure you delete all the old QOF & DES
guidelines before running this script.
Download the
INPS QOF User Guide for instructions on how to accomplish this.

This hotkey will automatically record 3 types of consent with regards
to prescriptions.

This little program will TRY and complete each outstanding action
copy automatically. However, the refresh rate time interval when
completing each message varies immensely depending on how many messages
are shown in the list view. Therefore you will have to use the Date
Filter in Mail Manager to reduce the amount of messages shown in the
list, as well as alter the millisecond delay interval in this program to
suit the refresh rate in Mail Manager.
Note: That this will only complete action copies, i.e. messages with
outstanding actions.

Version 3.20
This hotkey has been designed to
automatically expand the patient record view (F10) when opening each
patient record to see the maximum screen area. It may also be toggled
on/off using RCtrl+F10 or right mouse click on the hotkey icon.
However the view name must contain the word "Max" anywhere in the
view description for it to work.
- Open Consultation Manager select the Consultation menu > Options
> Setup and click on the Patient Record tab
- Highlight your current view and click the Rename button > add
the word Max (which is case sensitive, i.e. capital
M) anywhere into your description.
When the hotkey is active it will automatically show the patient
record in full screen mode, for every patient selected. The user may
change the screen back anytime by clicking F10 on the keyboard as
normal, as it only makes a single change per active patient record. The
script basically reverses the Vision F10 function.
