USE THIS CHECKLIST TO HELP YOU IMPLEMENT IDEAS FROM THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR PRACTICE.
Talk with the doctor, hygienists, office manager, and other stakeholders in your practice and decide which continuing care types you want to make sure you are attaching to patients and tracking.
Dentrix workshops offer you a chance to practice using Dentrix in a hands-on, trainer-led class. Workshops offer examples of best practices for using Dentrix in your office, ideas for incorporating lesserused features into your workflow, and advice about how to customize Dentrix to suit your preferences.
Set up a view in the Continuing Care module that shows all patients without continuing care assigned for each of the continuing care types you want to track.

Generate the Continuing Care list to find patients who are not attached to each of the types you decided to track. Attach those types to patients.
On a monthly basis, generate the Continuing Care list using the views you set up to find any new patients that are not attached the continuing care types you want to track. Attach them to continuing care as needed.
Repeat this process for BITEWINGS, PANOREX, and any other types of continuing care you want to track. As new patients come to your office, make sure they are properly assigned to continuing care and make sure you are attaching continuing care to appointments in order to prevent this problem in the future.
