Exporting immunizations

You can export all the immunizations that have been entered into a patient's record in Dentrix Enterprise so you can import the resulting HL7-formatted file into your medical practice management program.

Note: Exporting immunizations requires both the "Patient Immunizations, Send To File" security right and that user verification not be assigned to the "Patient Immunizations, Send To File" task.

To export immunizations

With a patient selected in Family File, on the File menu, click Patient Immunizations.

The Immunizations dialog box appears.

Click Export.

The Immunization Export dialog box appears.
