Telephone Encounter Form

Post by Rickliftig » Mon Apr 04, 2011 9:02 am

Schedule wiped out today - time to play with sheets.

I have been using a paper version of this for for some time (The Dental Record WSDA). I have heavily altered the page, but it is copyrighted, so not sure how to present this.

I plan to use this with the "new patient" automation trigger.

The flow goes like this:

1) The patient calls; Front desk enters in the name address etc. detail
2) Create new appointment which goes on the pinboard
3) This Sheet Pops up

Because creating rapport is so important, I will probably advised the fd to get the majority of the address and insurance info after finding our what the problem is.

I expect us to eventually have such a sheet built-in. Either another type, or extended functionality of a current type. The idea would be for the info to then automatically import. Not quite there yet.

Hi Rick,

Could you explain, how you set up the automation so that the sheet pops up only when a new patient calls?

Also, could you e-mail me a copy of the jpg (sheet template)? DrRobertHersh@aol.com

Thanks.

Rob -

The create patient automation is set under Setup-> Automation. The feature was added sometime in the last two or three months. It is activated when you make an appointment for a new patient.

No, it hasn't stopped. Version 11.0 was just released with enhancements to the automation feature.
