Editing custom treatment consent messages

You can edit any custom treatment consent messages as needed. Each location in your organization can have a different set of custom treatment consent messages.

Note: A printed treatment plan or a consent form will have one of the financial disclaimers, the Consent for Dental Treatment message, and any applicable custom treatment consent messages.

To edit a custom treatment consent message

2. On the Settings menu, under Patient Care, select Treatment Plan Settings.

   The Treatment Consent Messages page opens.

   Set up the following options:

   • English Message - From the Language list, select English. Change the title of the message and/or the message text.
