PATIENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Flags Flags will allow you to identify particular patients based on criteria that you determine. It is a way of grouping patients. You may create up to 36 flags that are distinctive to your office. An example would be a 1 to identify the primary contact member of the family for a mailing list. Named Columns Named columns allow practitioners to define treatment rooms or treatment types. You can name as many columns as you choose but a maximum of 9 columns can be assigned per practitioner. Named columns accept vertical appointment booking only. Notes Notes are a way to provide reminders and interoffice communication. You can remind yourself or others to order inventory items, recall patients, provide reports to bookkeeper etc. Other Comments The purpose of the Other Comments form is to provide a pick list of standardized comments for use when printing a patient appointment calendar. Comments such as ‘24 hour notice required for all rescheduled appointments’ or ‘Reminder - your progress evaluation is a 30 minute appointment, so please plan accordingly’, may be used. 19 | Customizing PMP for Your Office
