Note: To learn about changes and fixes in this release, read the "What's changed?" section.
· You can improve security by requiring complex passwords (eight or more characters and uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters, or a 12-character minimum). You can also require that passwords be reset every 90, 180, or 365 days, and if needed, you can force an immediate system-wide password reset at anytime. Finally, you can allow users to easily reset forgotten passwords by having them provide answers to security questions.
· The Medical Alerts button has been replaced by the Health History button. In Health History, there are two categories: allergies and medical conditions. You are no longer limited to assigning a maximum of 64 allergies or medical conditions to a single patient. You can now add as many as are necessary. You can also choose which allergies and medical conditions to include on the Questionnaire form and track inactive allergies and medical conditions in the Medical & Dental History form.
· You can now link a saved credit card to a payment agreement and charge a saved credit card directly in the Payment Agreement Manager.
· Dentrix Smart Image is an optional module of the Dentrix Practice Management System. Dentrix Smart Image is designed to integrate with various third-party imaging software solutions. Depending on the brands of 2D, 3D, and CAD/CAM imaging software you use in your practice, you can use Dentrix Smart Image to interact with one or more of your imaging software applications and imaging devices to automate common imaging and practice management related activities including the following:
· Display thumbnail images of all 2D, 3D, and CAD/CAM scans in the Patient Chart.
· Double-click thumbnail images to load images directly in your imaging software in the Patient Chart.
· Single-click thumbnail images to view full-size images in the Patient Chart.
