Add a treatment chart record to a patient folder to document each procedure you complete for a patient. You can manually enter treatment chart records, import findings data, and automatically add data while you edit a patient's tooth chart. In addition, you can verify treatment chart activity by requiring authorized persons (such as your orthodontists) to sign new entries before they become a permanent part of the patient's record.

To add or deduct Patient Reward points when a specific response is entered in a patient's treatment chart, enter a description and point value (either positive or negative) in the Patient Reward fields of your Treatment Chart List.
