tie recall to urgent med information?

Post by sam-I-am » Thu Aug 16, 2018 6:58 am

We call our patients to remind them of appointments, and we use the "family" screen to look up their phone numbers. Some of our patients require premedication, say, if they have artificial heart valves, and we'd like to remind them to take their premeds. Is there any way we can have that information show on the same screen? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I believe the only places the program shows premedicate are the Chart module patient information grid and on appointments if you add that to your appointment view.

If you don't mind duplicating the information (likely you already have this listed in their medical info in the chart tab), you can add a new Patient Field (https://www.opendental.com/manual/custo ... ields.html). Then you can edit your "Patient Information" entry in Display Fields (https://www.opendental.com/manual/displayfields.html) to show PatFields. Now your custom patfield will show up in the "Patient Information" grid in the family module and you can fill it with whatever text you need, and can name the custom patient field whatever you want to make it stand out when making calls.
