Viewing patient notes

Patient notes apply only to the individual patient and can be viewed in the patient's appointment information in the Appointment Book or in the Family File.

If a patient has notes entered, you can view the notes in the Family File window by clicking the View button in the Patient Notes block.

The View button toggles between View and Hide.

If the notes contain confidential information, we recommend that you hide the Notes field.

Notes:

·        When Dentrix is first started, the default for the notes field is hidden. Thereafter, whenever a patient is displayed in the Family File, the notes display depending on the state of the previous patient's notes.

·        You can also print the patient notes.
