Data Type Select to review the patient's Tx Findings, Patient Etc. or Form Dataresults. The fields at the right change to reflect the type of data you have selected.
Tx. Findings - Use the Tx. Findings data type to track your patients' medical and orthodontic findings.
Patient Etc. - Use the Patient Etc. data type to track additional non-medical information about the patient.
Form Data - The Form Data option on the patient's Findings tab contains the results of online forms submitted by the patient. Use this page to review, compare, and update patient folder information based on online form data. See "View & Update Online Form Results" for details.
Treatment Phase (Tx. Findings data only) Your patients' findings are stored by treatment phase to more accurately track treatment progress. Click the View Phase field to select the phase to work with. Only phases that have been previously assigned to the patient are available to you. Note that an asterisk (i.e. *Phase I ) indicates treatment phases that contain responses. In addition, the Findings tab at the top of the window will indicate (Y) if the patient's current phase has findings responses already entered, or (N) if no responses exist yet for this phase.
Treatment Dates & Notes ( Tx. Findings data type only.) Each phase of treatment includes a treatment start date, number of expected treatment months, expected appliance removal date, and finally the actual appliance removal date. The dates appear on the Findings and Insurance tabs of the patient folder, and in the patient contract. When you change treatment dates from either the Findings tab or the contract, they are updated in both places. Conversely, the treatment dates that appear on the Insurance tab of the patient folder are not linked to these fields, and must be updated separately.You can type additional information about this treatment phase in the Notes section at the bottom of the window.
Edit Patient Findings Click the Edit button at the bottom of the Findings window to enable editing mode. You can then add and edit the findings responses and tooth chart for the selected phase of treatment.See "Add/ Edit Patient Findings" for details.
Work with Treatment Findings Your ViewPoint system includes several reports and tools to help you manage your patient findings.
Track Overtime Treatment Run the Past Completion report to obtain details about the Past Completion totals on your Practice Statistical Analysis report. The report searches the Findings tab of your patient folders, and includes all treatment phases that have an expected appliance removal date less than or equal to the date you specify, and that do not have an actual appliance removal date. See "Past Completion Report" for details.
Print Available Responses Run the Treatment Category report to review the list of responses you have available for inputting into the Findings tab of your patient folders. The report includes all headings, categories, short responses, and long descriptions in your Treatment Findings editor. See "Treatment Category Report" for details.
Print Current Patient Findings Run the Patient Findings report to obtain the data you have recorded on the Findingstab of the patient folder for the patient's current treatment phase. You can generate the report for an individual patient or a subgroup, and select which findings to include. See "Patient Findings Report" for details.
