A little tweak goes a long way

We love adding big new features that help our users track their medicaid billing more easily, but the little things are important too. I got this email last week from Mary Holzum (Jackson School District):


"Ethan, I love the new student summary progress reports but they include all the goals not just the speech/language goals. It would be better to just have the speech/language goals if that is possible. Thanks, Mary Holzum"


This wasn't an easy thing for us because we don't have our goals labeled as "Speech goals" or "Physical Therapy goals" (Maybe we should, but that's another issue). However, Mary made a really good point: as a therapist, you aren't interested in the student's progress on the goals that you aren't working on. All that extra info was just noisy and in the way.

So, in light of her feedback, I've fixed up this report so from now on it will only shows you the goals that YOU worked on with this student in the time period specified. This should help the users of the "Student Progress Summary" report (available for therapists) get more out of their data by only giving you what's pertinent to your work with that kid.

We really want to make these kind of improvements for you, and are looking as always for good ideas for how to make our website better. Have a thought? Leave us a comment! Your suggestion could be the next one featured here on the blog!
