We went from north to south, clinic to clinic, room to room, literally all over the Philippines talking to interested doctors, we participated in board meetings, we were invited to speak in events and of course, we had a blast meeting a lot our awesome users for the first time.<\/p>\n
2019 started off no differently and it\u2019s why I\u2019m only able to post this on the last day of January!<\/p>\n
As has been customary with us here on the blog<\/a>, we\u2019d like to breakdown some of our goals this year.<\/p>\n I know we had to push back some of the things we planned for 2018<\/a> to prioritize the more urgent matters that popped up. It doesn\u2019t mean we won\u2019t be pushing to continue them though, just delayed a bit.<\/p>\n To those that have been with us for years already, you know that we are committed to bring you only the best software and service. Things will get done.<\/p>\n This has been delayed of course. Our initial target was to get this released by late December of 2018 but testing and building it out properly is critical.<\/p>\n Version 2 will usher in a completely new design. (Be sure to join the Facebook Group for a sneak peek<\/a>.)<\/strong><\/p>\n If you love the crisp and smooth look of the app now, well, let\u2019s just say that we are bringing it to the next level with up to date design standards.<\/p>\n The #1 reason as to why we are even considering this design overhaul is because over the past 3 years, all your feedback created a lot of new features inside SeriousMD, features that were not part of the initial design.<\/em><\/p>\n As the workflow for new features weren\u2019t considered with that initial design, additional clicks were added, the flow of how you use it doesn\u2019t feel as seamless and from our side, it was getting harder and harder to build new things in as the app is HUGE right now.<\/p>\n Our designers went through the whole app meticulously and we even ran case studies with doctors currently using the app.<\/p>\n The new design was born from all the new feedback and usage patterns. Version 2 will also give the development team more flexibility as it\u2019s re-built from the ground up.<\/p>\n Unlike other software, our team takes great pride in how you use the app and how it helps you be more efficient. It\u2019s not just for data entry, it\u2019s an integral part of your practice and we want you to enjoy using SeriousMD. AND we\u2019re not just releasing a new major version \u201cnumber\u201d for show. Imagine if we did, we\u2019d be at version 900 by now.<\/strong><\/p>\n When Version 2 is released, it will still have the features that you see and use now but don\u2019t expect a new major feature added just yet. Our priority is to release it publicly to everybody, make sure all the bugs and syncing are ironed out, collect feedback, fix and then, that\u2019s the time we will start releasing new features again once things are stable.<\/p>\n Target: 1st half 2019<\/p>\n We will be introducing an Advanced Reports Module in 2019. This will help you do analytics and census with your own data. This will be part of a new higher priced plan that we will introduce.<\/p>\n Current Pro users will have free access to the Advanced Reports Module, so if you are still on the fence and not using SeriousMD yet, be sure to upgrade now to Pro so you can have access to this early.<\/p>\n Obviously, we’re not expecting the first release to be perfect yet but as we\u2019ve been doing for years already, we\u2019ll continue to improve it over time with your feedback. I’ve personally used it already and tested it. Oh, I can imagine the smiles now.<\/p>\n Oh, and invite your friends to join SeriousMD already<\/a>. It\u2019s not that hard to get started. Just DoH it. (Throwback catchphrase there. 😉<\/span>)<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already started partnerships last year with some organizations but more will need to be established in order to really make a change in Philippine healthcare.<\/p>\n If you are one of those that want to usher in change, empower doctors with data and all that, we\u2019d be glad to meet with your departments, medical director and society president.<\/p>\n Just schedule a time with us here<\/a> or contact us by pressing the button at the lower right of the screen.<\/p>\nOur first major goal in 2019 is to bring out Version 2 of SeriousMD.<\/b><\/h2>\n
The Second: Advanced Reports Module<\/b><\/h2>\n
The Third: Establishing More Partnerships and Integrations with Your Hospitals, Your Hospital Departments and Your Societies<\/b><\/h3>\n
