Open Dental Forum

I'm a dentist, but also have a background in computer science. I've found all the EHRs that I've used so far, dental and medical, severely lacking in the efficiency and UI/UX department. Charting is a prime example. Every EHR that I have used relies on some method of manually entering data one toot...

thanks for sharing your expertise in the matter... keep up the good work..

Has there been in improvement or the snapshot of the exam sheet?

Thanks
Kevin

@ Sandi,

would you be kindly to post an example of your notes? I would like to better format my autonotes.

Thanks,
kevin

I hope the OD developers reads this and get this thing going. I have 15 filing cabinets worth of charts I want to get rid of.

kevin

Thanks... I was just looking to try out some of the stuff....

Anyone still have the files that was once posted for Apteryx? I tried downloading it, but the file is no longer available.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Is there a way to calculate what the hygienist produced? I usually pull the report from the report -> procedures -> and specified the range of days and provider. The problem that I'm having is that it is giving me the average fee for the procedure (from my observation, this average is calculated fro...

I think I'm going to give this a try... Good write up Phil!

I've been working with Derek to try to troubleshoot this issue. He tried a lot of stuff. Our next step was to get new networking cards and see if it would work better. Being out in rural Florida, I couldn't just run to a store and get a network card. Would have to wait till Wednesday, but I wasn't g...

Another major problem with not having antivirus is that you can't do your Windows updates. Doing the Windows updates is usually one of the very first ordinary maintenance jobs that you perform on a new computer. Just to recap, your network looks like this?: internet modem ------ router ------ cisco...

I don't understand why you're not running antivirus. Have you considered that you simply have viruses? I can understand turning off your antivirus for 5 or 10 minutes as a troubleshooting step, but it's absolutely critical that you always run antivirus software. So I would take the time to install ...

Did you try changing the router and assign a static IP to each computer? Still doesn't work? Try this: Right click on Network icon, Open Network and Sharing Center. Is your network connection "Public" or "Work" or "Home"? Change to Work. Then click on Change Advanced Sharing Center, Under Home/Work...

stjames70, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. May I ask why you're still running 12.0.1.9 and not the latest update? I hate to say it, but I don't know why apple product seems to be more stable over time. All my siblings has converted over to apple and they haven't had much issue. They use to c...

Jason - would you be able to log into my computer and point me in the right direction. I'm stumped with this issue. I've used the resource monitor and saw that google chrome was hogging up some band width even though no chrome window was open. this issue is driving me nuts... thanks when you go to a...

Jason, Once again, thanks for giving me ideas on trouble shooting this.. The Process Signal Interval is currently set to 10. As for the mobile app, I am not using it. I took my cisco switch home and set up a testing network at home to play around and make sure it's not my switch. I got it from neweg...

I'm still having that network issue where my OD system slows down to a no response. ---------------- Things I've tried ------------------- A. Tried changing the settings for the network adapter. B. Tried using a homegroup instead of a workgroup. 1. Removing the Cisco Switch and connecting my server ...

Jason, Thank you for spending the time to make such a detailed post. After a long day at work, it really sucks to sit in the office and try to troubleshoot the system. I might give it a shot tomorrow and see what happened. As for the port setting, it was in the firewall. I haven't changed any settin...

I'm not running any antivirus at this time. No antivirus installed. Thanks for the feedback though..

Kevin

bcpayne ---- Tried turning off the firewall with no luck, but it was a good idea. Rickliftig ----it does make the day more stressful when the computer slows down and my 2 hygienists comes knocking on the door asking why the computer isn't working. For those that used other practice management progra...

I'm definitely going to look into the firewall issue tomorrow morning. The last thing I remember is setting the port for the Mysql and that's when I initially installed OD. There's no anti-virus software on it now. Sometime the workstations seems very responsive, then all of a sudden it SLOWSSSSSSSS...

I recently brought a practice that's 41 years old and it shows it. One of the first thing I wanted to do was get a practice management program in. I registered for Open Dental, brought 6 desktop and set up a wireless network. The wireless network was the fastest way to get a network going. Got Open ...
