You have to know certain medical information about your
patients before you treat them, obviously. A paper chart gives
you a lot of ways to store, and alert you to, that information:
the patient's original health history form, whatever paper form
you use to periodically update that information, colored stickers
on the outside of the chart for critical medical alerts, etc. In
a world without charts, you still need the same information, but
you're going to get it in different ways - ways that hopefully
you'll find to be more consistent, more reliable and
consequently, less prone to oversight. (How often do you really
update your patient's medical history in your current system?)
This article describes a system that deals not only with
medical information, but also the patient's dental history, and
information that's more dental than medical, but that certainly
needs to be reviewed and updated, just like purely medical
information does. Along with the article, there is an Exchange
Pack that you can install, make a few minor "manual"
configurations to, and start using in very short order. The first
part of the article describes the system and explains how to use
it. At the end of the article are the instructions for installing
and configuring it.
