Dentrix Ideas

Create efficiencies in the Health History module

Several things would improve data entry in the health history module. The first is the initial search field when adding conditions, allergies, medications, etc. This field only recognizes the first words of a description, which limits the search. Clicking further offers a deeper search by recognizing all words within a description, whether they are the first, middle, or last words. The second inefficiency involves the Emergency Contact entry. By default, this area of Dentrix should pull or connect to all family members in a given family file, as this is the most likely place to find Emergency Contacts. If those family members showed up by default, we could choose one instead of going back and forth between the family file and health history and manually entering the data. Of course, the abililty to add someone not in the family file would also be needed. On that front, there is a bug in the latest version of Dentrix where the "Okay" button remains inactive after typing in the emergency contact name and pasting a phone number. The "okay" button only becomes active after re-entering the contact's name field again. Lastly, it would be great to add "Surgeries" and "Supplements" areas to accompany Medical Conditions, Allergies, and Medications.
