The Continuing Care module is the Dentrix tool that allows
you to search your continuing care system. The Continuing
Care module uses report filters (called “views”) to search
your Dentrix database and create a list of patients that
match the criteria of the view. Dentrix comes with several
views already set up, but you can create additional views
as needed.
To create a new continuing care view you can use to
find patients without continuing care assigned, from the
Appointment Book, click the Continuing Care button. In
the Continuing Care module, click Views > Continuing Care
Views Setup, and then click New. In the New Continuing
Care View dialog box (Figure 1), set up the following
information in the view:
• Call the view “Without prophy.”
• Select the prophy continuing care type in the
Type menu, and select Without CC.
• Set the Last Visit Date Span fields from
to .
Figure 1 Set up a view in the Continuing Care module to
show patients without the PROPHY type attached.
Click OK to save the view, then click Close to close
the view setup.
