You can open the Huddle dashboard from Dentrix Imaging. The dashboard can help you review patients who are due for bitewings, perio charting, or a prophy. It also identifies patients with potential periodontal disease and/or potential restorations. This is the first phase of development for this feature.
The information on the dashboard is gathered when you acquire images in Dentrix Imaging. Initially, you will use the dashboard retroactively to review patients that were seen that day. Later, as you acquire more patient images, you will be able to use the Huddle dashboard more proactively.
Use the Huddle dashboard at the end of the day to review the patients who were just seen to see if treatment was missed. This gives you an opportunity to check a patient’s perio exam to see if periodontal disease was noted or to check if a treatment plan for restorations was created for a patient. Even during its initial use, the Huddle dashboard can help you find potential production for your practice.
Later, in the next six-month re-care cycle, you can see patients who are due for bitewings, perio charting, or a prophy. This can be extremely useful. For example, if a patient is coming in for a filling, you can see if he or she is due for prophy and bitewings. You can then either schedule an appointment before the patient leaves or try to schedule the treatment for that day if there is an opening in the hygiene schedule.
To open the huddle dashboard
1. Open the Patient Chart, and select the patient whose record you want to access.
Note: You can also include inactive patients by clicking the Advanced Search tab in the Select Patient dialog box, and then selecting Inactive.
2. In the Smart Image toolbar, click the AI Patient List icon.
The Videa Health website opens, and you are logged in automatically.
Notes:
· At the top of the dashboard, a toolbar displays the total number of appointments for that day and a task filter that displays the total number of: Patients with bitewings due, Patients with a perio chart due, and Patients with a prophy due.
· These numbers update automatically within 5 to 15 minutes after you acquire patient images and update throughout the day as you see patients.
· When you first start using the dashboard, the numbers will be zero because they are calculated on patient images that were acquired since you enabled the feature. As you continue to acquire images, the numbers update automatically so that in the next six-month cycle, you can monitor patients who are due for bitewings, a perio exam, or prophy.
3. Click the Huddle tab.
A list of patients with bitewings, perio charting, or prophy due for the current date appear. By default, the website displays the dashboard for the current date with patient names and ages hidden. The dashboard also displays potential periodontal disease or caries requiring restorations for a patient if detected by AI.
4. To review historical patient information, click Recent Visits.
5. To view the AI findings for a specific patient, select the patient from the list, and then click Review.
