At Henry Schein One, we constantly strive to improve your practice management software experience. Here are many of the new features that you will find in the latest release of Dentrix Enterprise which is now available for download.
- Editing Clinical Notes from the Signature Manager – You can now edit or add information to an unsigned clinical note from the Signature Manager. You no longer have to open the corresponding patient’s record, open the Clinical Notes module, select the correct note page, make the necessary changes to the note, and then return to the Signature Manager to sign it.
- Creating Family Alerts – When creating a patient alert, you can now specify that the alert is for the family. The family alert appears for the patient and any of that patient’s family members (as set up in the Family File) when someone accesses the specified areas of Dentrix Enterprise. If a family alert has been set up to have a flag symbol appear on appointments, the symbol appears on appointments for all family members.
- Entering Chart Notes – You can now enter a general note regarding a patient’s clinical chart directly in that patient’s chart while performing work on that patient. The note will always be visible to anyone who opens that patient’s chart.
- Copying Patients – When you copy a patient, the Patient Information dialog box is now named “Patient Copy Information,” and it has been updated to incorporate the changes that have been made to the Patient Information dialog box in previous versions of Dentrix Enterprise.
- Viewing Birth Dates and Ages on Appointments – When setting up a view in the Appointment Book, you can now have the date of birth and age appear as one of the line items on each patient’s appointment. The patient’s birth date and age also appear on the pop-up message that appears when you position your pointer over an appointment.
- Opening the Treatment Planner – You can now open the Treatment Planner from the Family File or the Appointment Book.
- DXOne Reporting Module and Scheduling Service – This module has been completely redesigned. It has an updated look. Additional report filters are available on some reports, and you can now filter nearly every report by patient tags. Also, there is a new method of installing a service on a server that handles scheduled reports and a new way to configure the report server on a computer from which you schedule report jobs.
- Adding Implantable Devices – You can now add implantable devices to a patient’s medical alerts. There is a new section in the Medical Alerts window that displays those devices. You can inactivate a device and specify a reason for doing so. If a procedure has been flagged as being for an implantable device, when you treatment plan that procedure, you can attach a device to the procedure by editing it, or you can wait to attach the device until you complete the procedure (when you post a completed procedure for an implantable device, Dentrix Enterprise automatically prompts you to attach a device).
- Editing Clinical Notes with Prompts – If you want to view or edit the information in a clinical note that was entered using a template with prompts, you can click the new View/Edit Prompts button on the toolbar to do so in the Clinical Note Prompts dialog box. You can still edit other parts of the clinical note in the same way as in previous versions of Dentrix Enterprise.
- C-CDA Documents
- Exporting C-CDA Documents – When you export a patient’s C-CDA document, the patient’s implantable devices, completed procedures, treatment-planned procedures, and dental conditions are now included. If the patient’s record has a clinical note that was created using a template (such as for documenting SOAP) that includes prompts for an assessment and planned care, that data is now included on the exported C-CDA document.
- Importing C-CDA Documents – When you import a C-CDA document (from an individual’s patient health exchange or from the general patient health exchange inbox) that includes the patient’s completed procedures, treatment-planned procedures, and dental conditions, you can now reconcile that data with procedures and conditions that are already in the patient’s record. Also, if the document includes the patient’s implantable devices, you can view those.
- Customizing View Settings for C-CDA Documents – When you are viewing a C-CDA document (from an individual’s patient health exchange or from the general patient health exchange inbox), you can now customize which sections appear, and in what order, when you view these types of documents.
- Exporting from the Patient Health Exchange – When you are exporting a patient’s C-CDA, you can now select which C-CDA version to use for the document, and you can now disable encryption of the exported file.
- Viewing Patient Messages – You can view a message from a patient (through the Updox portal), with the Add this information to my medical chart check box selected (this is a new option), and with or without attachments, on the new Patient Messages tab of the patient health exchange inbox or from the patient’s Medical Alerts window.
- Importing Direct File Uploads – You can now view a DIRECT message (from a provider) or a message from a patient (through the Updox portal), with file attachments (such as image or text files), on the new Direct File Uploads tab of the Patient Health Exchange inbox. From there, you can also attach the message and the attached files to a patient’s record.
- File Exchange
- Performing Patient Data Exports (Local) – When you are exporting patient data, you can now filter your patient search results by provider and by visit date. You can now select which C-CDA version to use for C-CDA documents.
- Performing Exports to a File Exchange Site – When you are exporting patient or provider/staff data to a file exchange site, you can now specify a name for the file group that gets exported. Also, you can view the history of file group exports.
- Scheduling Patient Data Exports – You can now schedule the export of patient data to a file exchange site. And, you can view and delete scheduled export jobs.
- Practice Definitions
- Customizing an Ethnicity Definition – You can now map a CDC ethnicity code to an ethnicity definition, and you can use the name of that CDC ethnicity code as the definition’s description.
- Customizing a Race Definition – You can now map a CDC race code to a race definition, and you can use the name of that CDC race code as the definition’s description.
- Customizing a Sexual Orientation Definition – You can now map a standard description to a sexual orientation definition, and you can use that standard description as the definition’s description.
- Customizing a Gender Identity Definition – You can now map a standard description to a gender identity definition, and you can use that standard description as the definition’s description.
- Customizing a Language Definition – You can now map an ISO 639-2 Alpha-3 language code to a language definition, and you can use the name of that ISO language code as the definition’s description.
- Inactivating and reactivating ADA-CDT dental codes – You can now inactivate the procedure codes that you do not want to post in your practice. An inactive procedure code is not available throughout Dentrix Enterprise for any clinic. However, you can reactivate any inactive procedure code as needed.
- Sending a Link for a Patient Education Topic – After you view a patient education topic, in the Record Patient Education dialog box that appears, there is now a Send link to portal check box. With the check box selected, when you click Record, a message with the specified URL is sent to the patient’s Updox portal.
- Entering Patient Health Assessments – There are additional vitals that you can include in an assessment. The new vitals appear in clinical notes that are generated automatically as the result of adding an assessment as part of completing a medical history review. You can also use the new vitals to create a global alert.
- Adding Resources to Global Alerts – You can now add diagnostic and therapeutic resources to a global alert.
- Tracking Emergency Access – An entry for a user being granted emergency access to a patient’s record can now appear on the Audit-Combined Report or the Patient Information Accessed Report.
- Editing Patient Information – In the More Information window, the patient’s name is now a link that you can click to open the Patient Information dialog box so that you can edit the patient’s information without having to open the patient’s Family File.
- Entering a Patient’s Health Concerns – You can now enter, edit, and delete health concerns that a patient has expressed.
- Filtering the Treatment Request List – You can now filter the list of treatment requests that appear in the Treatment Request Manager by statuses.
- Generating the Patient List – You can now save a set of filters and data fields as a template to quickly generate a list of patients that match that criteria. Also, you can now include patient tags and billing types as data fields of the generated list.
- Reporting for Stage 3 Meaningful Use – You can now generate the Meaningful Use Measure Calculation List for the stage 3 measures.
- Selecting Patients – The Select Patient dialog box has been optimized so that it and its Search By and Advanced Search tabs open faster. Also, there is a new clinic setting that determines, when you are searching for a patient, whether Dentrix Enterprise automatically displays matches as you type your search criteria, or you have to enter your search criteria and then click Search to view matches.
- New Security Rights
- Central Clinic Only > Document Center Repository Setup – Allows the user to manage the paths for the document repositories in the Document Center.
- Office Manager > File Exchange, View/Edit Schedule – Allows the user to view and delete scheduled export jobs in the File Exchange module from the Office Manager.
