Dentrix Ideas

in someway prevent duplicate entries.

1. DOB

2. Referral

3. Reason for visit

4. Cell # (make it searchable as most people don't have home phones)

5. email

6. address

7. date of last dental visit

8. insurance info

9. Be able to create family file.

DOB

DOB, pre-med for dental appt. Insurance Name

Any way for Dentrix to detect if the First/Last name & DOB combo is already in the system to decrease duplicate patient entries?

We also have standard questions that we would like to incorporate in the New Patient appointment. Maybe an optional feature each office could choose to use or not.

1. Do you have any areas of concern? if yes, Location U/L/A L/R

2. Approximately, when was your last dental visit?

3. Do you have any allergies?

4. Do you need to be pre-medicated for your dental appointments?

5. Do you have any insurance that you would like us to submit for you?

2 patient identifier...... Name and Date Of Birth! Please include DOB entry option.

I would also be nice to have notes visible on the ASAP list for new patients. Since that list is not interactive with anything might as well serve for something useful on new patients.

At the very least, add a field for DOB. And make it searchable. It's sometimes hard to find a new patient appt if the name has been spelled incorrectly.

DOB and note field sound great! Keep email address too.

Preferred name would also be great!

DOB and Gender would be super helpful.

Please please please add date of birth! I cant believe it was never part of the original design, as EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR EVER needs date of birth for all patients.

We would like First/Last Name, DOB, Phone #, Address, Insurance info and add additional family members

DOB!!!! Ins Name-Subscriber Name, Member ID--just add all the things needed to create a family file...

DOB would be most helpful, gender of patient

DOB is needed, especially if requesting/verifying info from a referral

We just concentrate on getting the patient in the door. Idk about you, but alot of them always seem put out when we start asking them their dental insurance info...like it's such a burden to dig out their card or call their spouse because they forgot to get it or whatever. We want it, but not at the expense of not being able to meet the patient. Of course, we tell them what insurances we accept and get their name and number. If they seem talkative, we will ask them pretty much everything we can...because we truly need it, but we don't want to offend them. Subscriber, dob's, member id, employer, group id. We sometimes let them know that we don't need it, but if they want their insurance to pay their claim, well...

It would be nice to have all the information as a NP so when we try to create NP welcome letters, it shows up. As it is now, we can only create a welcome letter to a patient who has a family file. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

we need DOB at least! When are you planning to implement? We are past G6...

We get the patient's name and number and invite them into the practice. It would be nice to have the insurance member id/ ss#, group#, and dob though. There was another comment about it being typed on the appt and that's how we do it or we write it down on a form...to burn later. My doctor's office emails me to fill out all this info digitally. That way, they don't have to waste their time doing it and can concentrate on what the patients really need. Why doesn't dental technology allow for this without charging extra? Somebody's going to re-invent this technology or we're just going to stop using something that really doesn't work anymore...

I would like to know WHEN you plan on Implementing this? This original request was 2019!
