This switch is accomplished by entering a special Treatment Note Memo for this procedure into the Procedure Table Entry screen which is accessed via the Utility Menu.
As seen in the sample screen shot, if you want a special descriptive memo to be inserted into the treatment notes instead of the standard procedure description, enter that memo into the Procedure Table Entry for that procedure. These notes have no limit as to size. You may enter one memo for Done or Started procedures, and another for Finished procedures. So when you prep a crown in the Started phase, one description will be used, and when you deliver the crown in the Finished phase, the alternate description will be used. This, of course, would not apply to procedures such as Prophys that are completed in one visit. No Finished memo would be needed in that case.
Importing Prescriptions
Click the Import Rx button on the Treatment Notes screen to import any prescriptions that were recorded for the date of the treatment note.
The imported prescription will take the following form:
Rx: Amoxicillin 500 mg, Disp: 28 tabs, Sig: 1 tab 1 q6h, No Refills, DDS: Walter J Thompson DDS
Each imported prescription has 5 elements. These are:
- Rx :(the drug and dosage prescribed)
- Disp: (how much of the drug is being dispensed)
- Sig: (instructions to the patient as to how to take the drug)
- Number of refills
- Prescribing doctor
The imported prescription will be inserted into the treatment note at the point of the blinking cursor.
Importing Medical History Notes / General Notes
When opening an account you have the option to enter Medical History Notes and General Notes for each patient. This is done from the Patient Entry screen. By clicking the Import Med or Import Gen buttons on the Treatment Notes screen, you can import the entire set of either the Medical History Notes or the General Notes for this patient.
