multiple treatment planning

Post by jonesrdh » Thu Mar 21, 2013 10:42 am

Is it possible to select only certain aspects of the treatment plan to be visible on a patient print out of the treatment plan?

We have a patient with extensive decay and multiple teeth need fillings. He has decided he'd like to consider an upper denture but we don't want to delete all the treatment planned items in case he changes his mind. We'd like to give him a treatment plan that only shows the denture. Is this possible?

Thanks I am the RDH so I don't typically do this.

select what you want, click the "save TP button" and then you have a saved TP w/ only what you want.

Thank you. I should have looked at the website first because I did find this solution and now was coming back to edit my post. I appreciate your reply.

For other users who may want more detail to the answer...
In the Treatment Plans list at the top, you can see that there is a default TP in addition to any saved TP's. The default TP will change. For instance, as procedures gets completed, they will no longer show on the default TP. So anytime you give a TP to a patient, it is strongly recommend to use the Save TP button in the toolbar to save a copy. This creates a permanent archive that you can refer back to when talking with a patient.

The other purpose for allowing multiple TP's is if you want to give the patient alternate TP's. Add all procedures to the current TP. Then, highlight some of them, and click Save TP. Do the same for any alternate TP's.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
