The PracticeWorks charting module provides a graphical, interactive method of charting and tracking a patient’s dental condition. When you open the charting module, a progress gauge displays the status of loading the patient’s chart and images.
The following tabs make up the charting module:
There are some features, such as the Displayed Visit area, that are common to several of the tabs.
You can use the <<Prev and Next>> buttons to view past visits on a patient's chart.
When you access a patient's chart the date of the last visit is displayed. The current date is always displayed as the last visit. If the patient has had one previous visit, today is shown as Visit 2.
If you do not make entries, the visit number will not advance. If you make new entries, you will automatically be returned to the current visit, regardless of which visit you were viewing.
Visits displayed in Soft Tissue charting do not include any hard tissue visits, and vice versa. A visit is created in each of the charts only when an entry is made in that chart.
