The Patient Banner

The Patient Banner indicates a selected patient's name, birthdate, age, and gender. The letter G next to the patient's name indicates that the patient is the guarantor of the account. The banner also includes the patient's appointments, phone numbers, primary dental provider, primary and secondary insurance providers, the Submit New Ideas, Settings, Help, Create New Family and Create New Entity buttons, and the Quick Search text box.

Click the Settings button to set up and maintain your practice or to set up passwords. Using Quick Search or Advanced Search, you can quickly switch from patient to patient in Accounts, Chart, Patient, Treatment Plans, and other modules that require you to select a patient.

You can also expand the Patient Banner to view a patient's address, chart number, and Social Security number; allergies, alerts, and recall appointments; appointment list and details including broken appointments; insurance details (primary and secondary); and account details.
