Setting User-Defined Recare Notices for a Patient

You can send recare notices to patients for non-routine procedures like orthodontics, customize the User-Defined Recare information for each patient, and override the default frequency, codes, notices, and time units.

If you do not select a code that triggers a recare or an explosion code, the Perio date is not reset when the patient keeps a recare appointment, and the patient record remains overdue for a recare appointment until you manually change the date.

To set a User-Defined Recare procedure for a patient:

Select List > Patient. The Patient List window is displayed.
Double-click a patient. The patient record is displayed in the Patient window.
Click Recare. The User-Defined Recare information is displayed in the Perio section.
Select an option:
To set the User-Defined Recare frequency for the user:

If you change the name of your User-Defined Recare system, the names of the Perio field and Perio section in the Patients window change.

To set a different User-Defined Recare procedure:
To set the number of time slots the User-Defined Recare procedure requires in the Scheduler:Type a number in the TU field.

If you update the notices sent count when running the User-Defined Recare report, the value in the Notices field is updated every time a recare notice is sent to the patient. If this option is not selected when running the Recare report, the value in the Notices field is always 0.

If any procedures selected in the User-Defined Recare System section of the Recare Settings window are posted for the patient, a recare notice is triggered.

Click OK.
To generate a list of overdue patients, run the User-Defined Recare report.
