Restorative Charting

 

Once a patient has been selected in the Patients screen, clicking on Mode and selecting Restorative will open to you the Chart-It Restorative Charting System.  This system charts pre-existing and current conditions, treatment plans and pre-authorization plans.

Restorative Charting Overview

Chart-It restorative charting permits a provider to chart pre-existing, existing, and completed conditions.

  • Pre-existing - For charting purposes, a patient's first examination takes place during the patient's initial visit.  That examination reveals conditions the provider charts as pre-existing conditions.
  • Existing - During subsequent visits the provider examines the patient and charts conditions that have occurred between visits as existing conditions.
  • Completed - As the provider performs clinical procedures upon the patient, the provider charts those procedures as completed procedures.

Completed procedures - extraction, restoration, implant, sealant, as examples - correspond to standard dental procedure codes.  Typically the treatment codes correspond in turn to cost amounts available for use in patient billing.

Most charting functions performed in Chart-It have both a graphic display representation and a procedure code record.  A chronological list of transactions is readily viewed on the screen.

If your PMS is integrated with Chart-It, your PMS vendor can provide more information about how Chart-It and your PMS software work together.

Functions performed in charting can be edited or reset at anytime.

Note well however, once a charting session is completed on a give date, transactions cannot be removed for the list on a different date without a deletion being recorded.  Transaction deletion on a date that differs from entry date ( usually done to remove an error) is marked with a "D" and displayed in red color.

Transactions can be deleted without notation if done so on the transaction entry day.
