Re: Email letter to referral dentist

We have requested this a whike back and it is on the list. I get the feeling it is not a huge priority but would do wonders for our office, charts, and records. Most of our votes have been placed on this request.

Patient Status

Is there away to add types of patient statuses? We are an ortho office and need to track our patients that are Recall patients meaning they are waiting for treatment. These patients may have multiple recall appointments and we only want to count the patient not the number of recall appts.

Sheets and Referral Letters

Can the saluation Dr: Lastname be added as an option in the referral letters? Currently referral letters greet Dr's by first name which is informal especially if one doesn't know them personally.

Re: Food for Thought - Big add ons to OD

Very Random thought. I may be asking for a time travel machine. I have seen things for scheduling out there like Demand Force etc. What if a pt could log into open dental, check their appointment time, how much they owe, and if they need to cancel or reschedule they could online. To cancel an appoin...

Treatment area when setting up tx codes

Is there any way that when "range of teeth" is selected in the tx area that multiple teeth in both the upper and lower arch can be highlighted. This is good for Ortho when several brackets are off to keep track of which teeth. Thanks. Also any word on the patient exam that will automatically place f...

Delete Patient Field Defs

Is there any way at all to delete these. I was trying it out and decided it is not providing the function I need it to. When I try to delete it says already in use by 1 patient. Would love any help.

This would then allow for very simple imput of OH scores 1-5, upper wire sizes, lower wire sizes, and even the time frame when patient needs to be seen again (4-6 weeks, 6-8 weeks etc.). Also could som...

Re: Payment Plans

What is the best way to enter, apply payments, and track ortho payment plans. The problem we are running into is when a payment plan report is run there is no way to decipher between what is owed by patients and what is owed by Insurance. I am guessing this topic has been posted somewhere else. Any ...

Jordan,

Where could one find the internal image files that you all have used in the sheets. I need the patient information gif so that I can crop it and just as another section to it. Any info would be great.

Re: Referral Sheets - Slip vs Letter

Could more patient information data fields be added to the referral letter template and also bday to the referral slip? This will make it easier for the reffering to and from offices to identify and contact those patients.
