Yikes!! Keep the server out of the op! Minimize who touches the server. It's got your business critical data. Why knowingly put it in harms way.

Also, Raid is NOT backup.

Hmmm, I will need to research this more. I think the only guaranteed way to separate the office network from the public one is to have 2 separate cable modems from my ISP. Of course I'm sure they will charge more. Any other sharing of a single internet connection will still leave a network connecti...

Excellent!

I regularly use multiple computers for multiple tasks... Also, our assistant (singular) goes from Tx room to Tx room making notes. It would not be that advantageous for us to have her log in again at every workstation... Better to have a way to very clearly identify which user is logged in at any mo...

Thank you Thank you!

Scans right into OD, double sided and everything! Sweet.

How cool would it be to be able to put these kind of callouts in OD???

Thanks Rick! How did you get the dialog box in there anyway? Powerpoint? It's not really in the chart at this time, right?

We have to brother mcf 9840cdw. It's been great for us and is our 4th Brother. It's nice to have one device to print, scan, and copy.... Scanning is double sided capable, color printing, and it's pretty fast, and very reliable.

How do you scan right into OD?

I really like this dialog... It's really awesome to have the boxes with arrows for tx planning!!! Not contradicting anything so much as our take on the same subject matter: 1) The stoplight system is perfect to help patients understand treatment needs. Here's how we do it: Gray: Treatment completed ...

Slightly off topic, but wanted to help if you are interested. Best recall system by far for us has been outsourcing it to PLZ. www.justsayplz.com. Feel free to call our office with any questions... just peruse their website. It's superior to anything that PMSs have, by far. I'm switching to OD from ...

Thanks. #1145 has been added...

88% of our patients have an email address. We are constantly communicating with them and very occasionally, patients email us questions or requests without adding their names! This would be very very helpful

Thanks!

Alex

That's weird... I think you jinxed it! Here's my results with OD at #5. Need more links!!! Seriously though, DentiMax??? # Dental Software - DentiMax Dental Practice Management Software - Home Dental software and dental practice management software program for dental offices, very easy to use, downl...

#1 for what keywords???

This is something we search for all the time...

Jordan, can you add it to the Select Patient Dialog box? BTW, is that box customizable at all? Right now there's Last Name, First Name, Birthdate, etc... Email would be very useful...

Let me know and I'll be happy to add it to the Requests lists...

What is the point of this argument? Is the argument 'I want a Choice of OS's' or 'I want Linux only'? There are a limited amount of resources to any project. Focusing on Windows leaves more resources to develop functionality, integration, and features for EXISTING CUSTOMERS. Like me. If Jordan one d...

I would be very surprised if history was coming over, but charting was not. They are one and the same thing. later: OK, I understand now. Procedures that are the equivalent of our "Existing Other" status are not coming through. Again, you and I are at a battle over terminology :) To me... history a...

Thanks for your note. As far as how confident am I about the data and staff training? To answer, the conversion is going well. Almost everything we need is coming over. Appointments, notes, history, treatment plans... I've identified the gaps to know where to supplement as necessary. The biggest thi...

Hello OD users, administrators, and developers! We're migrating from Practiceworks to OD, going live January 1st. There are many different ways to setup, customize, and implement OD, and I'm just wondering what other offices can recommend. Any advice is greatly appreciated... Looking for comments sp...

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

The only thing I want to add is that I run my office differently than other dentists. For this reason, I may not wish to have the same process as another dentist during the checkout process. There is no right or wrong, just different ways to check out the same patient. I would like the _ability_ to ...

So, D0150 would trigger the referral check routine and then the thank you letter; D7140 would trigger the post-op instructions for extraction. Almost... Not every new patient that was referred actually gets the D0150 code, and we would still want to thank the referrer. For post op sheets, definatel...

One thing that I'm thinking about as I mull over how we would include such a trigger is that I'm not sure where exactly the "checkout" trigger would go. There are certain situations where the patient finishes up in the chair and then just heads straight out the front door. But let's take a typical ...

Howdy, New user here, need some advice please. We are transitioning from Practiceworks to OD. One of the things we do is thank patients who refer other patients with Movie Tickets. How we do business is so much more important than the PMS we use. We just want to make sure we can continue doing busin...

Howdy, any chance you can post a link here? Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry guys, but just working with a different subnet mask will not keep your files safe from knowledgeable attackers. To demonstrate: I assume your routers have DHCP enabled. That means that the router will automatically assign IP address, subnet mask, dns, and gateway. Try manually setting your com...

It works fine. There was a rocky period of instability, but there's no outstanding issue at this point.

Practiceworks created something they called the Expert Exchange that allows sharing templates, notes, contact experts, and other custom reports. This type of functionality would be amazing in OD!

It would be just as interesting to see what's inside those autonotes!

FYI, request #1111

Thanks!

I did prior to posting this, #1109.

I posted here just to see if other users would be interested in this feature.

Would like to be able to rename a document right in the document explorer without having to go into the info screen.
Would like to be able to use keyboard shortcut F2 and/or slow double click, ala renaming files within windows explorer or OsX Finder.

Thanks!

Howdy! First enhancement request here. Call this a productivity enhancement, low hanging fruit :) In charting on the "Show" tab: When "Selected Teeth" is checked, perform a live update of progress notes so that as teeth are selected/unselected, the progress notes is automatically updated to reflect ...
