      • Task list reminders

        Would like to be able to schedule reminders that display. For calls to be made, letters and reports to be printed, and various tasks, and the ability to check them off as they are done (could be added to Office Journal). Specify which provider or staff the alert is for. Also need call reminders in the appointment book. Should have an option to attach a "beep" or "chime" to the reminders to catch their attention. When the reminder pops up, should have options to cancel, remind again in five minutes, remind again in one hour, remind again in one day… more

        • Post-it-note capability in all modules

          Allow a notes/comments capability in all modules, with an option to attach the note to a date, patient, module, provider, insurance company, etc., or just to leave it free-floating. Option to view note in all modules when they open. Need to allow a note to be specific to a provider, that can only be accessed with their password. Note should also have reminder options to make it pop up at the patient's next appointment, or in a specified time period. [4573 63320]

            • Electronic Rolodex (Address Book)

              Would like an "electronic roladex" option built-in that could be accessed from any module that would have all of the insurance carrier names, addresses, and phone numbers available for immediate access. And other vendors (link with QuickBooks). A Rolodex feature where the user could add any records that were wanted, but also options to read all patients (showing patient picture, icons for alerts, oustanding treatment plan, perio score, appointments, CC, etc), referrals, employers, pharmacies, labs, etc. with links to Dentrix modules. Link to Auto Dial feature so they can look up the number, then have it dial. [1082]

                  This is a great feature. We have had a lot of requests for this feature before creating this site. This is planned in the next few updates. Stay tuned.

                • electronic prescriptions

                  Please allow us to electronically send Rx to pharmacies...the dentrix prescription pad is too easy to copy and I spend a lot of time dealing with forged Rx that have been scanned and altered. It would be great to just submit electronically (and enviornmentally friendly) .

                  • Fast checkout: More options and available from more modules

                    Make completing a patient visit more automated. Have more options for Fast Checkout and have it available from the Chart and Appointment Book (Set Appointment Complete), Treatment Planner and Family File; and still available from the Ledger. Each module should have its own Fast Checkout options, or the options should be shared among all modules per workstation, or the entire practice. Options could be : when an appointment is set complete, launch the Ledger for the patient automatically; from the Chart set all scheduled procedures complete; set appointments complete from the Chart; update continuing care from any module; set the… more

                    • List workstations with Dentrix open

                      We have 53 computers in our office and when I need to close the month or run a rebuild with Dentrix that requires every computer to be out of Dentrix it can be a long process of getting everyone out. If there was a way on the server to list which computers by network name that have a module open it would speed up this process not only for us but for everyone with multiple computers.

                        • e-mail quick letters

                          It really is silly that to e-mail quick letters to a patient you have to either cut and paste the letter into the e-mail box from dentrix or copy and paste the e-mail in MS Word when sending. there should be a option of sending directly.

                              We would like to see Medical History Forms becoming more Interactive. For example when a patient has an appt and is sitting in the operatory chair, the first thing we do is ask if their are any changes in their medical history form. Or when the Doctor's are going over the patients medical History they like to write notes on the forms. As of right now when the patients fill out the medical history forms there is no way to interact with the form itself or write notes on the forms. So we would like to be able to do… more

                              • move dentrix to the CLOUD (web based) - accessible from ANY computer with internet access

                                lets face it..."THE CLOUD" is the future of all software. dentix needs to move to a web based software accessible from any computer with internet access via internet explorter, firefox, google chrome, and safari...as well as mobile webs apps for the iPhone and Android platforms. Am I the only one that sees the advantage of this?

                                • Incorporate Alternate Benefits for Amalgam vs Composite posterior restorations

                                  Many insurance companies have an "alternate amalgam benefit" that gets applied to a pt when they have resin restoration placed on premolars or molars. This makes it difficult to have an accurate insurance estimates. We currently have to manually figure the percentage for each resin code and enter them separately. ie. if the Ins company says they will cover 80% on a D2391 we have to enter it manually as 63.5% (or whatever it is) in the payment table. This makes the Ins estimates accurate but is a hassle and time consuming. Surely the dentrix system could compute that for… more

                                    • Integration with Drug Reference software like Lexi-Comp

                                      Dentrix should allow integration with drug interaction software programs, such as Lexi-Comp, which would enable patient medication lists to be stored, updated, and edited in the Patient Chart and to view drug alerts and interactions.

                                      • Mouse scroll enabled anyplace in ANY window - don't have to use scroll bar at the right

                                        We'd like to have full use of mouse scroll wheel in ALL windows so that we don't have to place cursor over the scroll bar on right side of window and "pull" window down. So much faster to spin the wheel!

                                          I would like to be able to mass email patients directly from Dentrix and for Dentrix to keep track of emails sent. I would like to be able to separate patients' email addresses into lists, for example - unscheduled and ASAP - so when I have cancellations I can take 5 seconds to mass email the patients on my list instead of spending all day calling people and leaving messages.

                                          • view clinical notes without opening pt chart

                                            I would like to be able to view clinical notes without having to open the full tooth chart. It would be nice to have a seperate module that let you view all clinical notes for that patient on one page. This would be helpful in reviewing my charts for the day each morning as I hate clicking on each indiviual patient and opening their tooth charts.
