Patients name in BIG FONT?

[aussiedentist]

One thing really annoys me about od

In charting, it is really difficult to see the patients name, esp when you may be looking from your seat in the surgery, not close to the monitor

I have had patients notes mixed up because of this, and some xrays taken under the wrong name

Is there a way of making the pts name bigger, or easier to see?

You could create your own feature request with this specific problem or you could tack onto feature request #1592 that is geared towards making everything in OD larger without lowering the resolution.

Try this:

Click Start | Search programs and files type: Personalization | Window Color | Advanced appearance settings | Click Active Window | change the font size to something way bigger
Open Dental lists the selected patient name in the active window pane. By making it bigger, you'll be able to see it better.
One more thing, you have to select the Windows 7 Basic Theme
Good luck

Unreal teethdod!

I set the active window to 50, and the font to the max of 24, It it sooooooooooo much better!

Glad that's working for you.

However for us yankees, we have HIPAA, so just a friendly reminder for fellow yanks should you do this: don't make the font size too big.
