Release Notes - 10ᵗʰ of August 2026
We are excited to share the latest enhancements deployed to Invent Medical! This update introduces a major overhaul of the medical summary and procedure tracking, new package management features, expanded audit logging, enhanced document viewing, and key reporting updates.
📑 Medical Summary & Procedure Tracking

- Cards can now be resized, hidden, or reset to default layouts at any time, supporting tall cards for procedures and wide cards for flowsheets.
- Pages now paginate cleanly by height.
- Procedure Card Quick Actions & Billing:
- Update treatment status and send procedures to billing directly from the summary card.

- Billing & Insurance Rules:
- Billing details and procedure templates automatically lock once a procedure has an invoice or active insurance claim.
- Dental template switching is restricted when new and previous templates are incompatible.
- Added a Not Billable to Insurance flag for templates, removing policy requirements and setting the status to "Not Billable to Insurance".
- Renamed the "Pending" billing status to Not Sent to distinguish it clearly from treatment statuses.
📂 Documents & Observation Charts

💳 Packages, Billing & Financial Reports

- UI & Display: Fixed family preferred names, tab titles, favicon rendering, custom field value loads, and persistent column visibility settings across line tables.
