Chart Number
If you use Chart Numbers in your practice you may enter that number in this field.  The Chart Number is one of the fields used by the program for Patient Searches.

Patient Address
Whatever address that was entered for the Responsible Party will automatically be entered for the patient.  If the address is the same then tab past it to the next item.  It is possible that the Patient is not the same person as the Responsible Party and may even have a different home address. If this is the case you can give the patient his or her own unique address.

Home, Work and Cell Telephone Numbers
On the right side of each phone number field there is a little button that pops up an AutoDialer. The AutoDialer will dial the displayed phone number for you.

Preferred Contact
This allows you to indicate which contact method is preferred by the patient. It may be home, work, or cell phone, or email.

Do Not Set Recall
If you want to indicate that you do not want this patient to be set on Recall, click on the Do Not Set Recall button.  Recall cannot be set for this patient as long as this choice is selected.  This same field can be set from the Recall Entry screen.

Available For Standby
Nothing upsets a smooth running dental office as much as "cancellations" and "no-shows."  A patient who is “Available For Standby” is willing to be called up at a moments notice and take the appointment time that is now unexpectedly available.  It is suggested that you provide an item on your initial patient questionnaire that finds people who are so inclined.  Many people are anxious to get their treatment over with as quickly as possible, and, if an opening comes up, they want to come in as much as you would like to have them come in.

Medical History Notes
You may create a Medical History table that can hold an unlimited number of Medical History comments.  You can select as many of these Medical History comments as you wish for this Patient's Medical History. To do this, click on the Add/Edit Medical History button, and the Medical History Selection screen will open. Add as many Medical History Note items as desired. These Medical History Notes can be used a filters for patient reports. For example, you could print a list of all patients with High Blood Pressure.
