Practice Management Software
such as vital signs, chief complaints, falls risk score
and smoking history. Based on entries, the
system creates automatic clinical notes
increasing efficiency and patient safety.
Postoperative-Instructions
Postoperative-instructions should
be standardized and be able to
print out on the patient's walkout
statement. Make sure your system
can create various post-operative
instructions and information based
on the procedure code and
automatically prints the instructions
at time of checkout.
Alerts
Alerts should flash on the
monitor when the patient
checks in, making your
staff aware of special
situations such as
emergencies, payment
requirements, and
allergies. Make sure your
system has both global
alerts such as all patients
with specific criteria such as
specific allergies or medical
conditions. There should also
be patient-specific alerts such as if
the patient's needs and interpreter or is
assigned to a specific dental resident.
Education Program Features
If you have educational caregivers in your program,
make sure your EDR has features designed for
residency, preceptors, and hygiene programs.
Dentrix Enterprise has specific features which can
be activated in the software at no additional charge.
Configurable Features
Your system should allow customizable features
such as clinical templates, dental/medical cross
coding, and definitions such as patient alerts and
appointment reasons.

Data Collection Capability
(UDS Requirements)
The system should collect necessary patient
statistical data for use in grant applications
and reporting.
Configurable Security Roles
Ensure that your software can set task rights that
can be assigned to specific user roles. Configuring
the rights ensures all staff members can do their
jobs but are restricted from accessing data for
which they are not entitled. Lowers the risk of
unauthorized access to data.
Revenue Cycle Management
An electronic dental record system not only
has superior clinical support but should also be
designed for robust revenue management - and
to use and maintain. Your system should accept
multiple insurances and patient payment programs
and a complete workflow for processing insurance
claims, pretreatment, and sliding scale fees. Dentrix
Enterprise makes this easy. The system should
keep track of payments from patient and insurance
claims and provide you detailed reports so you can
stay on top of your revenue. It should apply the
remittances and payments to the actual related
charges and not simply the oldest, outstanding
charge on the patient record. Dentrix Enterprise
supports line-item accounting.
Reporting
Make sure you have access to your complete
database. Dentrix Enterprise is an open architecture
SQL database allowing you 100% access to 100%
of your data. With Enterprise you own your data!
Your EDR should allow you to access and report on
a wide range of clinical, financial, and productivity
measures. Enterprise offers more than 100 prebuilt
reports, or you can utilize business intelligence
software or a 3rd party data analytics firm to build
custom reports. Our new Dynamic Reporting, found
in version 11.0.43 delivers real-time data in a quick
and easy-to-consume format. It consolidates large
amounts of data into a user-friendly form, making it
easier to spot actionable insights.
