Pick lists enable you to quickly select the information you need to complete a particular task or field. Most pick lists have an Add button that displays the appropriate window for adding an entry to a list. Some lists, like the Insurance Claims List, enable you to select and view information, but do not have an Add button. Entries to these lists are made when you perform other functions within the system.
The Lists menu is at the top of the Appointment Book window. You can also access each list through its related functions in PracticeWorks.
The following pick lists are used throughout the software:
People
Employer/plans
Insurance companies
Insurance claims
Transaction codes
Employees
Pre-defined appointments
Medical alerts
Labs
Prescription Drugs
Pharmacies
Production block booking definitions
Employee block booking definitions
Referral sources
Locations
Attachment categories
Patient attachments
When setting up the PracticeWorks software for your dental practice, you can enter information you already have in these pick lists. Later you can change or add to these lists as you use them.
