Anyone using this.There seems to be a problem with the VM ware and connectors. Spent most of the day trying to get it to work.

Roy Bloom

The program writter is having problems installing the VM ware connector to my windows 7 pro machine for Beta testing. Anyone using this ? I do not see it in Program links anymore,

Roy Bloom

I found an old Ulead photoimpact program I had in 1997 and it still works on this tablet and I can copy and paste. Irfan view also may do that.

Roy Bloom

Which is why I go back on support again. Heh heh.

Roy Bloom

Here is something that sounds like what you want http://www.nbstech.com/CP_Javelin%20Val ... inters.php

Roy Bloom

I remember those and used that in Practice Works . I would think www.dymo.com would be a good place to start. May have to just put label on back of card.

Roy Bloom

I remember there was a way to add the office email of a patient to the patients chart . I can not find it now. I can add it to pt email but that sometimes is not the best solution. It seems like it was in the clinic module.

Thank you

Roy Bloom

This has been the greeting on my iphone for years. I use mms@att.net. I rarely answer the phone but respond to text messages quickly. For example I just made the mistake of answering the phone and it was a sales pitch for investing. 8323737041@mms.att.net

Roy Bloom

well I have been playing with this test server so long I decided to delete everthing and start over. Where do I find ny license file on my other server and where do I put it so I can update to the current version?

Thanks in advance.

Roy Bloom

Neato! Then print to cute PDF and send to their printer or email.

Roy Bloom

Does anybody generate a statement for the patient to file for medical coverage of Sedation and thirds. It appears there is a diagnosis code and a treatment code for each. I sure would lke to be able to give that statement to patients as many seem to get paid.

Roy Bloom

All the data from each tablet would be on a dedicated server including the pano and the consent signature from the forms made in sheets.....this is CSS right the sheets that is? The autonotes are still C#? (for example the progress notes) The email I send out is converted to PDF. I am trying to figu...

Roy Bloom

I think my NPI and License number are on the claim. I honestly have never looked. I doubt my tax id is there as each office sends me a 1099 each year and I do not get any from the insurance companies. I do not know how each office files the claim.

Good questions.

Roy Bloom

yup, or blockout or for repeating meetings setup... sceduling...repeating. Where do you want the note to show up?

Roy Bloom

Insurance is filed by the billing Dr office. I am an independant contractor and just provide the service. The Dr Pays me directly the day of service. Unless the service is just sedation and then the patient pays me and I provide them a statement and the patient pays me directly the day of service. I...

Roy Bloom

I briefly read the Hippa rules and regulaions this morning. One of the last portions I read dealt with the types of insurance filed that thus required Hippa compliance by the practioner. I do not file insurance. Does this mean the data I have on my server is exempt from Hippa compliance rules.

Roy Bloom

No the tablet is signed.

Roy Bloom

is the data in the mysql encrypted? what about opendental data. Does a server that sends information to your worstations outside your office over an encryted VPN have to me Hippa compliance or just password protected.

Roy Bloom

Our webforms comes very close. But to get the validation you are talking about, you might need to move to Adobe Acrobat. It's $400. We cover it in out manual. I do not have time. How much would it cost a progrmmer to set up a e commerce form and then send values to the correct location. plcae it in...

Roy Bloom

Has anyone Bluetoothed their precordial scope to a tablet to play through the onboard speakers. I tried all weekend with a Cardo BTA II,apparently one of the few that will just not work. The earpiece kills my ear after a few hours with my current bluetooth scope. Funy the head set paired.

Roy Bloom

How hard would it be to write a program for OD that makes a template(much like ordering items online with required fields) with the following Last name First name DOB Parents name if minor Phone number address Allergies Current meds Sig Health Hx Site (clinic)name and Email so I can email Tx Plan fr...

Roy Bloom

mine is mms@att.net The oofices just enter ny phone number with this on the end and email their message, They also use it so I can just hit the number of the patient I have seen at their office and it dials and the hands free BT takes over and tunes the music off in the Truck.

I go to 40 offices now. i can not get T1 at home and set up a blade server. i run oprdental on a tablet and want to remote VPN at the offices and let someone else take care of backup and security.

Roy Bloom

Just ran into a problem with HIPPA compliance if I store data on a commercial server along with backup went from 20 dollars a month to 800. It appears that there is inexpensive software to make everything on the sever HIPPA compliant. Even encrytion of data, auditing, etc. Is there something I am mi...

Roy Bloom

Roy - the medical grade GD-3000 from ebay will fit your bill - Now that I am getting the issues with Windows 7 cleared up, it looks like a winner. Again - New T1Y (twinhead type) tablet with 64gb solid state drive, two gigs memory, docking station, two batteries, barcode reader, onboard camera, rug...

Roy Bloom

HP makes an inexpensive one with a touch screen Touchsmart tm2....I am using it now but it is not rugged enough to hall all over Houston.

Roy Bloom

Hope this helps

I am already scan free as of getting the monitor to record the printout through the serial port to USB on the Tablet. As for what OD developes that is cool. Still, I would like to see the anesthesia module as a stand alone product. It is getting harder and harder to lift all that surgical equipment....

Roy Bloom

Thanks Bill.

Roy Bloom

For those of you interested, I got the criticare monitor scholar to send the printout every 5 minutes throught the rs232 port in the back to the USB in the tablet. Using Cute PDF (thanks again Bill) I placed a folder on the desktop called anesthesia records. The Anesthesia Module has a print functio...

Roy Bloom

See Criticare site shows bluetooth to tablet intergation. The paper therma lstrip is now a thing of the past. OS progarmas supprorted do not show integration with OD yet. Will Talk to Barry at Critcare Monday.

Roy Bloom

I go to 35 so on to be 60 offices and will be running a decicated blade server to "house the website, house open dental ,and my patient scheduler. There will be 3 Motion commputing tablets out in the feild all synched and each office will will simply clink a link on the website which will take them ...

Roy Bloom

now I get "table open dental prference does not exist" lost two weeks of data but can find it in other places inside sedation server images. I can find the scans by going through each A-Z folder. They do not show up in the older back up. Is there a way to copy Table opendental preferences to the ope...

Roy Bloom

Currently I use two servers. One is a tablet I take with me and the other is a desk top. I tried in vain to get the support folks to make it so that when I pushed backup it would go to the desktop server and then two other hard drives. They always wanted me to save it in backups folder which is sepa...

Roy Bloom

Roy- I enjoyed speaking with you last night. It appears that you had some files that were laying around from a previous beta install. Shouldn't be a problem now. You brought up an interesting subject - reports. Reports of any conceivable kind can be done from Reports > User Query in Open Dental. In...

updated bug fix in version 7 that came out today and anesthesia module no longer works

Roy Bloom

I am working well now with MySQL 5.1 now on my server after increasing the open file limit... but the question still is....what about MySQL 5.5? It is supposed to be faster, is that something we will see in the near future? Are you supposed to download the 32 or 64 bit version? I am running win7pro...

Roy Bloom

If you want to save a text file as an image, why don't you just so a screen shot? Do PrintScreen (F12), open Paint, paste it in, select the area you want, copy it to something like Photoshop Elements 9 (which is only $99, only $79 for an upgrade), and save as a JPEG/GIF/ or PNG. Thats what was done...

Roy Bloom

A bridge to open office would still make sheets easier. Also, I am uncomfortable having a consent from on a tablet that is not in PDF and can still be signed on the touch screen.

Roy Bloom

Why would I do that? Mostly I try to use very little of OD. The majority of my business model is not supported by OD. It is not OD's responsibility to cater to a unique business model. They would not make money serving a small interest of practitioners. Also, found out that the SA workstation did sh...

Roy Bloom

Well, besides looking like a homeless man again, we finally got OD to work over the internet with workstations in Spring Texas and San Antonio Texas; information placed by the San Antonio workstation was instantly available on the Spring workstation. The server was in the garage. The only oddity was...

Roy Bloom

Is there anyway to send the record via email. I used print and then snagit the other day for the offices copy. That way they just paste it into the patients chart on programs like detrix. Seemed a bit tedious is there an easier way?

Roy Bloom

Is anyone using himachi to coonect to a server ? Has anyone used this this VPN setup to connect 5 to 10 tablets as workstations to a blade server and run open dental ?

Thanks

Roy

company in Austin has a tablet with a magnetic back and docking station, Gorilla glass etc. http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/tablet_pc_J35.asp Perfect for what I do.

Roy Bloom

Hi Jordan, that still begs the question........why? Luke said you had to drop it as an image file. Good image programs are expesive(photoshop) Great scanners are expensive. Why not just import as Text? Make that part a pdf so it can not be changed(by patient while your not watching) and leave space ...

Roy Bloom

I guess I just do not understand why on earth a program like this would have almost no instructions and what instructions are there are outdated. Why not just use a real world processor like open office instead of a poorly formated program with a very short list of special interest inputs. It took m...

Roy Bloom

Thanks Dr. Starcks! It was a pleasure talking to you and look doers to purchasing this product in April. I still think there is a work around to Bluetooth the output from the EKG printer at 5 min intervals of the vitals using hyperterminal Inal and criticare monitors. I now know two OMFS that do not...

ACK my anesthesia plugin is having the same problem in 7.6....int64 ....what can I do I need this.

Roy Bloom

I bill and collect at time of service.

Roy Bloom

Is it easier to be wireless on a laptop and travel and then sync when you get back to the business office with the computer with all the backup or is it best to stay connected? I am finding it hard in some buildings to connect to my server. Thought that the new laptop would be easier and I do not ha...

I am a little confused about signatures. If I have a tablet form notebook with a touch screen I can still have patients sign consent forms and store that in images correct?

Roy Bloom

I would like to add portions of the family/account pages to my website which is restricted by password to referring docs. Ideally, I would lile to copy the entry that is emailed to me directly into OD for New Patients. This would also include a jpeg image of a pano. It would be a form kinda like ord...

Roy Bloom

I want to provide a insurance form with medical codes for extraction teeth and IV sedation. Anyone know these codes so I can give the form to the patient and let them at least try to get some help?

Thx

Roy Bloom

neato just upgraded to win 7 and 7OD..........can't wait to try it out!

Roy Bloom

I go to a couple of offices that have Schick sensors. I installed the CDR software and enabled the bridge. I am getting an error. Schick shows up on the patients chart. The USB finds new hardware and it will not work. Should I not install the schick software?

Roy Bloom

One of the things I liked about Practice Works was at the begining it had a site to download reports/queries that were written by people who have the inclination. Sure would like to see that here.

Roy Bloom

Thank you

The new version I have does not have the same location

Hi Jordan, no I do not mean SPA. That is in another box. Just outgoing SMTP requires authentication.

I do not check the S...

Roy Bloom

Well no, in outlook there is a section under tools, accounts, more settings which says my my outgoing server requires authentication. It is there I place my cards modem # and password. Works all the time. It is set up the same for both accounts no matter if I am using my home LAN or mobile card. I w...

Roy Bloom

Well, the relaying is not allowed in OD email.....at least as far as I can tell. So, I used my LAN at the office SMTP. It worked well. Perhaps I will have to use the other SMTP when the Verizon Card is inserted. I use the card offsite and do most TX plans at the office I have at home. Is there a way...

Roy Bloom

Is this what I think it is? Can I hook up my Criticare monitor from the serial port to the usb port on my laptop using the bridge listed ?

Roy Bloom

Just upgraded today from 4.3 to 5.6.16. Yes it has been a while. Anyway so now I gotta play and look at the new stuff. One of the things was emailing treatment plans. So, I set about setting up email. I use charter and when away from home use Verizon broadband. So, my outgoing SMTP is vzwmail.net an...

Roy Bloom

How is this being handled by others? I thought I saw the other day April 1st was the day this went into effect.

Roy Bloom

Let me know when you want a Beta tester. I do need a couple more things....a few codes, ability to have a Rx Database, Tx notes. I am glad to hear you are doing this. Do you plan to host it or will it be hosted by my website for instance? I use a broad band card in my laptop through Verizon. It woul...

Yes, I am sure I have multiple backups on flash drives all over the place. I guess I did not want to update because I do not see how it would help me. All I do is IV sedation, extractions and endo if they need sedation. I only work as an independant contractor at other offices throughout Texas. I do...

Roy Bloom

I downloaded a trial version 5.1 I think. Does not really help me for what I do. How do I roll back to the previous version?

Roy Bloom

Just checking to see if a web based version was being developed.

Roy Bloom

I have tried to scan and then copy and paste. It says can not retrieve from clipboard.

Ugh everytime I try to make things easier it seems to get harder.

Roy Bloom

Never mind I found it.

Roy Bloom

I would like to add a folder called sedation record to the image section. Is this possible or are they fixed.

Roy Bloom

I think it spits out a file every five minutes. I am most interested in the 02 BP HR. The actual ECG is not really something I want a hard copy of in a chart.

Who would I talk to about setting up hyperterminal? A local windows guy? I am using XP Pro.

Roy Bloom

Is it possible to import an ECG/BP/SP02 into the images portion of the chart using hyperterminal. My ECG has a serial port and I have a cable that goes from serial port to USB.

Thanks

Roy

Roy Bloom

Thanks. My laptop arrived and I was not home...ugh...8:30 tomorrow.

Roy Bloom

Well, I do not remember how I did it. I think I called Jordan. I should probably get back on the monthly support program. I would like to see a website version so I can access it anywhere. I did have TNT dental call.......and was told still desktop.

Thanks for your help!

Roy Bloom

I bought a new laptop and will be giving my XPS dell to my wife. They are leaving for the coast and alas my laptop is not here yet. I am going to back up to a flash drive....but I do not think this will transfer the program. What do I need to do to transfer the whole thing? I have not been on suppor...

Roy Bloom

Is there a way to add a logo to the prescription printout?

Roy Bloom

I am glad to see the site back up and Jordan's new coastal picture. I have been using Opendental for a few years. It is the best program out there.

Thanks Jordan for all your hard work!
