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]

This is a useful tool for all the Debtrix users in our practice. I agree with a comment from Kathy that it would be nice to remove post it note once task is complete.

We once used PracticeWorks for a short time and they had a post-it note capability. That was one of the positive things about the software. Maybe something along those lines would be possible to create for Dentrix. You could chose the note color, and place them anywhere to pop up on specified dates. However, I believe they were only viewable from the work station that created it. So my notes would not pop up on any of the other stations. It would be better to have an option when generating the post-it to choose if it should be systemwide or personal. The little note box in the appointment book is so small it doesn't catch your eye to remember to look in it so unfortunately it is hardly ever used in our office. I'm hoping Dentrix can come up with something soon. Let them know if you think it would be a good addition to an already great software.

While I certainly appreciate the idea/concept behind post-it capability, I thought I might share some different insights. We have, in fact, used a Post-it software feature on our desktop for quite some time to aid in follow-up letters, scheduling needs, etc; however, over a period of 2 years, we have found it to clutter up the desktop, in spite of the "trash note" capability. We have since geared ourselves more toward maximizing Dentrix's features and have greatly optimized our usage of Dentrix alerts, (especially with continuing care frequency limitations) as well as procedure notes, appointment notes, etc. If there is anything specific for one of our providers, we merely insert a "(see note)" in the appointment description and input accordingly into the window below. A "Post-it" feature sounds wonderful, but personally, my aim is to eliminate them!!!!

YES!! We want to be able to have a quick reference to medical history stuff always available in the chart...was sort of thinking of it as one of the floating boxes that we could write in so we didn't have to open the full medical history each time..also would be the best way to always see the updates in between taking new histories...right now the only way is to patient alert or review all notes for the last 3-5 year. Reviewing those notes is not a reality in most practices, and I find many times my assistant closes the alert and so I never see it unless I remember to go back and check it...too much work!

As would the ability to remove the "post it" note as we do physically once we're done with it.

would especially love having the same "text box" capability that already exists in the 'Presenter" module put into "Chart Notations" module in "Chart": instead of having to "write" a note using the mouse or a digital pen/tablet, from Chart Notations, simply create a floating "sticky note" that's always visible in the patient's Chart. This would be a MAJOR bridge between paper charting, where we'd simply grab a pen and write a note that we can ALWAYS see, and digital charting!

I would love to have the ability to put a note in a certain time block ( NOT create a "fake" patient) in the schedule. This way, if the doctor has a meeting, I can put it in that time block or if I want to have a Crown appt at that time, it is there and I can see it on my schedule. Having the ability to change the color of the note would be nice too.
