Dentrix Ideas

I requested this a long time ago. We still have to archive NON-Patients to archive an account. Please move forward.

Love this idea! Just had a hygienist say this to me this morning!!

would be very helpful! please make this a thing

Would also be nice to mark accounts that have been dismissed due to being sent to collections or numerous appointments. right now, we just add (coll) or (Dmiss) to the end of their names

I love love love this idea!!!

We have a lot of patients who are deceased and our only solution is to put "DECEASED" in the name field.

Adding "partner" would be nice also.

I love this idea but want to see some of it in the "find patient" and not have to actually click on a pt to see it.  

agreed

I agree as well. At the moment, the only work-around we've come up with is to (a) change the patient's preferred name to "Deceased" and then (b) archive the patient. It would works for our purposes, but it would great if the Dentrix team made this easier.

I like the "NO RESPONSE" patient status suggestion. Allows you to track how many patients are "Patchwork Dental Patients" and customize follow up calls for them to try to change their status.

you can make an medical alert deceased. Also, don't forget to take their birthday out. in case you send bdays cards.. So archiving is best

I like this. When I send to collections, I use a medical alert we created for collections. Not really proper, since it's not a medical issue. Also Dentrix no longer allows you to just see the medical alerts anyway, you have to click on the icon to see them. I also create a flag, which sometimes is ignored, and change the billing type, which is easy to miss. It would be helpful to have more pt statuses--patient, non-patient, inactive, archived, deceased, collections, and maybe a few more?

Any info on this yet? Thank you. bobbie

Agreed!!!

Hi Bobbie, what STATUS are you referring to specifically? Billing Type, Appointment Status, etc?

We just change the billing type & note in the patient file that they are in collections. Changing the billing status allows them to no longer show up when creating billing reports & I can even create a report with only those in collections.

The reasoning for those four choices is related to how the insurance "Relation to Subscriber" will be determined. I could see adding "Widowed" as an option to the menu, but having it act the same as "Single" for the Ins purpose.

We are a pedo office and being able to put DIVORCED in the status for the parents would help lower the confusion of family dynamics!! Thanks!
