I love caller ID integration. However I use VOIP lines. The caller's number appears on the phone display. Any ideas about how I can import this data into Open Dental and facilitate all the advantages which are available in the above post?

I am very interested in the ozeki solution. The one off up front cost seems high but if it sends 20-30 messages reasonably quickly, it will save money in the long run, particularly if your phone package includes 'unlimited' sms messages. Please post when your plugin is complete.

Just installed Justin's button capture software for a MD-930U camera. I am using it with Kodak 6.11 software on a 40 inch HD tv. The results are brilliant. I have a few questions though: Should I be using Kodak 'slow' or 'fast' in the drop down menu? It seems to me that that multiple image capture i...

I too think this would be a very useful feature, even a simple pop-up on screen taken from caller ID when the phone rings showing the patient(s) name(s) and a click box taking you to the patient record would be a great starting point. I used to have this in a previous PMS and the front office loved ...

You need to contact Minh at opensoft. check out 'SMS Texting bridge' on this forum. I practice in Ireland and he sorted it out for me. He also has some added features in his plugin which I like.

i want Enamelrod' plugin too!

I cannot get the demo version to work like my own practice version. In particular, when I export the fee schedules and the fee codes, the codes do not export and the fees are not present either. This info is necessary for the completion of the insurance claim form.

I want to employ a programmer to create an insurance claim form in OD specific to Ireland where I practice. I am unable to do this through the 'Claim Form' facility in OD because the form is in landscape and for other reasons. I intend to employ a programmer to do this work for me. I want to create ...

Is there and 'exclusivity' arrangement between Open Dental and CallFire for sending SMS messages from OD? If not, where can I input the access details for the SMS provider I wish to use? (CallFire not available in Europe, though their website says that international service coming shortly). I think ...

Yes, please.

I use the program link for DBSWIN in the 'program links' menu under 'setup'. I have DBSWIN installed and the OD link requires that DBSWIN is already running and I have to minimise the OD window and open the DBSwin window and the patient record in DBSWIN is open. This link is a bit 'clunky' in compar...

I think that e-mail gateways provided by phone companies as described above, are not available in all countries. I have overcome this problem by using a bulk sms supplier who can send SMS messages using email. My service gives me an e-mail address which incorporates the patients mobile phone number,...

It would be useful if the 'trigger' list in the Automation set up was expanded to included 'treatment planned'. This would allow explanatory sheets/practice advice leaflets for specific treatments such as RCTs, Crowns etc to be generated when the treatment is planned. OD is working really well in Ir...
