Highlights of DQB 1.64
NOTE: The following option is available in only the standard version of DQB: DQB Case Entry: Prior Search/QC Edit/Start New Case A new option Prior Search/QC Edit has been added to the Cases menu in the standard DQB version. Access is limited to manager and case entry levels but may be expanded in Custom security setups. We have been asked to provide ways to search for cases for the doctor plus patient with these added capabilities:
- Easier ways to search for possibilities for the patient should there be questions on spelling.
- When the prior case is found, provide for editing the technician and quality control fields.
- Option to create a new case with information transferred from the prior case, with options to add information to the new case, mark as remake when appropriate.
- Recording the prior case number in the new case record to show continuity in reports and case history.
NOTE: The following options are available in both the starter and standard versions of DQB: DQB Case Entry – Expansion of Case Notes In the Case Notes field of Case Entry, you can now enter up to 32768 characters. The number of characters you have aleady entered will be shown beneath the field. This change has been applied to the regular case entry, outsourced case entry and pre-booked case entry. The full set of case notes you have entered will also be shown in Case History and the standard work tickets. If you have a custom work ticket and would like to have it include the expansion, please contact us. If you need more than 32768 characters, we recommend that you go to the Case Plans tab in Case Entry. This field has been designated as a memo field, which means it has no limit. Case Plans can be output to a printer or one of the industry standard formats such as PDF. DQB Case Entry and Schedule Pickup – Expansion of Customer Information Window This new feature was added to provide a way to show the open hours for the dental offices as many have adopted new schedules in response to the pandemic. To expedite this, we are making use of the Custom Fields for the customers that already exist. You have 10 of these that can be used for any purpose, each one can contain up to 50 characters. Some examples: Office Hours Mon,Tue 8:00 – 4:00 Thur 8:00 – 7:00 Fri 8:00 – Noon Weekend Hours 8:00 – 2:00 Second Sat of Month The Doctor Information button at the top of Case Entry screen will display the window of information that has now been expanded to include the Custom Fields.
The Schedule Pickups screen also now has a button near the bottom right to show Doctor Information. For both, the show option will change to Hide to close the doctor information window.
DQB Outsource Item Lists in Basic Lists and New Outsource Case We have had several requests to provide for selection of multiple items when entering an outsource case, similar to the way this can be done with standard procedures in the case entry. To provide for this, we have added to Basic Lists an option for Outsource Item Lists. Here you name the list and then select the items to be included. Then in New Outsource Case, you can select from the lists as well as enter items one by one. You will be able to edit the item list. |
