Hi,
i was just wondering if anyone has developed or is currently developing a mobile app to allow patients to book appointments. My Patient Scheduler do an online booking service but not an app.
If any developers are interested please let me know.
Many thanks

Hi,
i am thinking of using my patient scheduler to allow patients to book their appointments online. Was just wondering if those who have or do use it found it useful.
Did it cause any problems? Did it encourage more patients to attend?
Many thanks

HI M,
Thanks for the info. You are correct. Will have a look at the plugin.
Cheers.

Hi, I know OD has the ability to text using Callfire but as Callfire do not do international texts its of no use to me a i am in the UK. I was thinking that maybe i could create my own bridge to use a service by http://www.textlocal.com who can send texts worldwide. They provide details of the integ...

ok cheers. will do.

hi

OD Version 6.3.8 foreign

Hi Nathan
i went back and checked the triggers and they are working fine. i also synchronized and still no joy.

So i guess it must be a bug. cheers Jordan

Thats right Jordan with some exceptions like implants

Hi i wonder if i can get an expalanation of how the recall system works. I have read the manual and still need some further info. i have set up a new recall type for my child examinations and use the standard one for adults. OD calculates everything fine however in the family module,family members b...

Cheers Jordan

This works really well.

I also operate a plan where for a monthly fee all treatment ( with a few exceptions) is included, upto an annual limit.
Any ideas about how to set this one up?

Tauqir

Ok. i understand about the fee schedule, but how do i go about setting up the repeating charge?

I am not familiar with the insurance plans aspect of OD as i am in the UK. However i was wondering if it was possible to set up ones own plan within the existing OD setup? We presently run a number of inhouse plans where for a monthly fee the patient receives certain treatments inlcuded and others a...

Hi

Once you have customised a sheet and saved it, is it possible to copy the customised sheet and save it under another name?

Cheers

Hi
On the main screen for the family module i can only see sections for patient info and family members. How do i get the recall and insurance sections to display?
i am using version 5.9.11.0 foreign

thanks

Also does the program save a copy of the printed letter anywhere? This is important if for example you have edited the template in anyway

Hi

i have a numberof templates set up for doing quick letters. some of these extend on to 2 pages of A4. Unofortunately when trying to print only the first page is printed. Is this normal or do i have a problem?

Cheers

Hi

Has the problem of the appointment label printing on the default printer been fixed?

Cheers Jordan

Hi
I am in the UK. Is this version available for me to download?
i am currently using 5.7.17.0

Cheers

i am using version 5.6.30.0 the problem i have noticed is that the age calculation for some patients is a minus number. so far it is only for a couple of patients and they are the oldest ones. Their dates of birth being 22/01/1916 and 09/06/1920, using the format dd/mm/yyyy. i think i may have deter...

nice one

i am in the UK and have a similar problem. I am using the UK calender and our normal date format is dd/mm/yy. is there a fix for this?

Something like this. "patient name" Your next appointment is on "day", "dd/mm/yy" at "time". Your appointment will be with "name of clinician" The label could then be stuck to a card. It would be even better if it could be prited out onto a compliment slip. cheers Tac

I mean details such as date, time, clinician etc. for the next appointment. This would be given to the patient at the front desk once the patient has made the appointment. It can be done to some degree by right clicking the appointment and selecting 'print card'. However this only prints out on A4 a...

Hi David

i was wondering if you had been able to do this. Thanks.

Tac

Can I get some feedback on what kind of setup people have when printing out appointment details. What kind of printer and the type and size of stationary used? I had previously been using a standard laser printer with compliment slips. Unfortunately I am no longer able to do this with OD as it will ...

Hi Jordan i have to admit a receipt and statement mean two different things here in the UK. However the walkout statement is sufficient. it would be useful if the layout of the statements and treatment plans could be altered to take into account preprinted stationary. I understand it is planned, any...

Cheers David.

I very much look forward to it as all our stationary is preprinted with the company logo and address.

Hello Everyone

I am a new user of Open Dental in the Uk. Please forgive me if anything i ask anything that seems a bit silly.

I wonder if anyone can tell me if the layout of the treatment plan can be altered? By that i mean the margins to accomodate company logo and address.
Thanks
