Patient Chart overview   

The Dentrix Patient Chart is the leading patient record keeping software program in the dental industry. Its complete chair-side integration makes it the perfect tool to simplify record keeping while giving you the opportunity to take advantage of the newest technical innovations in dentistry. The Patient Chart module consists of four separate parts:

·        Graphic Chart

·        Clinical Notes

·        Perio Chart

·        Treatment Planner

The Patient Chart window provides a quick and easy way to enter existing, recommended, and completed treatment or conditions. In Dentrix, standard, easy-to-recognize textbook charting symbols are used. Treatment is color-coded so that a single glance at the patient’s graphic chart will tell whether a procedure is a condition, existing, treatment-planned, or completed.

You can use the Clinical Notes to document and track patient care. You can attach these notes as general notes to the patient or to a specific procedure. Several template options (including customizable templates) are available to make entering notes a simple process.

Using customizable script settings, you can enter periodontal treatment information quickly and completely in the Perio Chart. You can also display information graphically in the Perio Chart, making it possible for patients to visually understand periodontal data. A variety of letters makes it easy to quickly generate correspondence with patients, referring dentists, and insurance consultants.

You can use the Treatment Planner to explain and demonstrate proposed treatment to patients. The Treatment Planner integrates with the Presenter module.
