Tips &Tricks The Dentrix Mastery Tracks™ program helps you Reviewing Past Practice Advisor Reports Did you know that Dentrix stores a copy of each Practice Advisor Report you generate? These stored reports make it easy to compare the information from past reports with current reports, and see how that information has changed. And because these reports are stored in Dentrix, you don’t have to store paper copies that take up filing cabinet space. To review past Practice Advisor Reports: 1. From the Office Manager’s Analysis menu, click Practice Advisor. The Practice Advisor dialog box appears. 2. Click the Report History button. The Practice Advisor Report History dialog box appears. Reports are grouped by date and then listed by the time each was generated. You have the following options for viewing reports listed here: assess and improve your Dentrix skills.

Front Office Financial Practice Analysis Quickly Finding Previously Viewed Patients During the course of a work day you may select hundreds of patients within Dentrix. When selecting a patient, there is a section of the Select Patient dialog box that can save you time, especially if you need to find a patient you’ve already worked with earlier in the day. In the Select Patient dialog box, there is a section at the bottom of the window labeled Previously Selected Patients. This section keeps a list of the last 30 patients you have searched for. You can quickly re-select a patient on this list by double-clicking their name, which can be a lot quicker than having to re-search for them by name, especially if you know you’ve already looked them up once today. Using the Previously Selected Patients list can save you a little bit of time in Dentrix, and a lot of time in the long run. 8 | www.Dentrix.com/Magazine Clinical • Expand List/Collapse List - click these buttons to expand or collapse all items.
