I am using open dental, and it has the ability to use tablets/laptops/ipads to enter patient details, medicals, etc.
I am thinking about doing this.
Has anyone done this? Pros and cons?
I am a gp, wide range of patients.

Yes - its functional and we do it on Windows tablet/labtop in our offices. If you want it to run on iPad, you may have to get 3rd party services.aussiedentist wrote:I am using open dental, and it has the ability to use tablets/laptops/ipads to enter patient details, medicals, etc.

Re: Using tablets/ipads for patients to fill in medical, det
Many of us had many questions in the past about using a tablet in the reception area.
Some offices were using Surface Pro as a good tablet that allows you to use the forms that are provided by OD in the Kiosk option. ( I got one of these too) .
OD came with a better solution: using the web forms that are provided by OD, and they work nicely
After reading multiple questions and answers on this forum, going through many OD Facebook pages,
and suggested to me by Minh , a good Australian programmer for any Open Dental Project at http://www.mopensoft.com , I decided to try using Google Forms.
Google forms can work on a cellphone, apple or android, any tablet, ipad, or any device that has internet on it.
No need even for a tablet, our existing patients can update their medical history, the registration form, and complete them on their cellphone
We email or text the link of these forms to our new Patients, and they complete them before they arrive.
To view the forms that we use in my office , you can follow these links on goo.gl forms drive:
Registration form Link https://goo.gl/forms/ps4GDUSwgRWGO50M2
Medical History form Link https://goo.gl/forms/j19SzTRy1NbC6xQk1
OD web forms can be used the same way as the google forms , if you increase the size of the font, less questions per page, and have multiple pages with less content in them
