CS PracticeWorks, version 10.0, includes the following new functionality:
To facilitate compliance with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the following enhancements are included to improve patient data security and privacy:
Passwords are no longer optional. All users must log in with a user name and password.
The Password Create/Change field has been moved to the General tab of the Employee Properties window.
For more information on setting up passwords, see Setting Passwords.
Audit logging of user logins and logouts cannot be disabled.
The Login window now covers up Practice Central and any active windows, to protect patient privacy.
A patient's Social Security Number is no longer required to mark a patient's record (Clipboard) as complete.
PracticeWorks now provides a way to permanently delete a patient's record.
To ensure compliance with a patient's "right to be forgotten," PracticeWorks now provides a way to permanently delete a patient's record.
The patient must have an Inactive status, with a zero balance and no outstanding transactions. (Active checkbox on Clipboard is deselected.)
When the deleted patient is not their own Responsible Party (RP), the RP's ledger still lists the transactions, but the patient's name is deleted.
The Audit Log records patient deletions, as well as deletions that are cancelled before being confirmed.
Once a patient record is deleted, it cannot be retrieved.
For more information, see Deleting a Patient Record.
Beginning in version 10.0, the PracticeWorks Charting Module integrates with Carestream Dental's CS Imaging software, version 8 (CSI 8).
You can now hide the Time Tracker from the Appointment book display.
