The Software Updates window is home to many optional files and installers that can benefit your practice. From the latest Genie installer to new fee schedules, WorkCover certificates, pathology and radiology templates and more, the Software Updates window can be an invaluable tool when it comes to running your practice.
Navigate to Special > Software Updates to get started.
If you are receiving an error when opening the window, check that the Web Server URL at the top reads exactly: https://www2.geniesolutions.com.au/4DSOAP/. Submit a request to the support team if you are still having trouble.
Installing or applying updates
If you are unsure what items you should be downloading, click once on an item in the list and a Description will appear below the table (for most items).
- To install an item, place a tick in the left-most column against the item, then click the
button in the bottom-right. - Depending on the item you are downloading, you may receive additional prompts to confirm the download, such as "Store and Activate Later or Apply Now".
- Wait for the download to complete. Once the install has finished, the item will now have a tick in the Done column (this is true for most items except for files such as MIMS Annual).
Note: The date listed in the Uploaded column is the day that the item was uploaded to Software Updates, NOT the day it was installed in your Genie.
What's in the different tabs?
| Miscellaneous | This tab is a mix of updates that don't quite fit into a single category. This includes Genie updaters / installers, MIMS Prescribing Data (and MIMS Annual), NPS files, ICD-10 and ICPC2 codes. |
| Fee Schedules | This is where you will find the latest fee schedules for Medicare, DVA, and most health funds. To be notified when we release new schedules, follow our Fee Schedule Status page. |
| PDFs | The PDFs section contains a self-help support PDF guide that has tips on how to get help for common enquiries. |
| Workcover Certificates | If you're adding WorkCover claims to patient records, you can also add in the appropriate certificate for your state. Note: The "Use Custom Forms Workcover Certificates" checkbox in File > User Preferences > General must be ticked for these certificates to be utilised. |
| Checklists | Download checklists (relating to a vast array of topics such as obstetrics, respiratory, urology, etc.) that have been uploaded by Genie staff or by other users. |
| Forms | Download forms (management plans, pathology / radiology templates, PBS forms, etc.) that have been uploaded by Genie staff or by other users. |
| Letters | The Letters tab includes multiple templates for GP Management Plans as well as referral/reply letter templates specific to certain organisations. |
