Went tot Best Buy yesterday to buy a tablet so consents etc could be signed and they had none. What are OD users finding to be the most durable tablets?

Thanks

roybloom

Which version of windows 7 is everyone using or finding to be best

Thanks

roybloom

As I said to Nathan yesterday, I have over teched myself with logmein, IPhone and opendental laptop workstation and server at business office(I am 100% mobile at 26 offices now). I am overwhelmed. I provide a LOT of IV sedation and will be using version 7 when it comes out. I will be getting a table...

roybloom

who works 24 hours? I don't understand why office hours can not be set without having to scroll

roybloom

So I will just have to re enter current info into ver 7?

roybloom

Yikes, so if I start using it with ver. 6.7 and update down the road as I normally do it would not save the inventory from a year ago?

roybloom

perhaps I was not specific enough. I only want 7:30 to 6:30 to show up on my schedule screen. Hours of operation if you will.

roybloom

I am going to use Dr Starks Anesthesia program to track and inventory meds etc. this year. Hopefully ,I can get my criticare to record the NIBP, SPO2, Pulse etc to pt images at the same time. It is just more efficient and I have a gig netowk with a media 2 TB 2 hard drive hard drive with autobackup....

roybloom

how to I set the daily scedule to show 6AM to 7PM. I just doble booked a day beause I have it set up as it came with hours I do not work. I looked in setup and did not see it.

Thx

Application features AirStrip CARDIOLOGY allows physicians to make time-critical decisions when they cannot be bedside, further reducing time delay in the clinical assessment and treatment of patients. Clinical features include: •Virtual Views – Remote, virtual real-time monitoring of live cardiac r...

roybloom

Did anyone ever get their EKG to hook up with the anesthesia program?

roybloom

That is a really great idea! Maybe even make the banner a link.

roybloom

Works very well. I also got ignition and it is very quick and easy to log in to my "server". Never without anything inside of OD. The 3G network works well with this program.

roybloom

How do you place the ext of supernumerary teeth in tx plan? I use 1 and 1(1) for an upper right and OD will only let me place 1 twice. Have to add note.

roybloom

I have no idea what the file bloom187.exe is....say that a while back and asked about it.

roybloom

Thanks, at this point I can not use opendental at all. When I updated Friday it will not even open now.

roybloom

This is what I got when I just updated See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'BloomRoy187.EXE' is denied. at System.IO.Directory....

roybloom

I am having trouble with the Rx and graphical chart not showing up properly. Is this just because of bandwidth at the server on my side?

roybloom

Sorry Starck...

roybloom

Did you get the ECG record to record from the device? I have a couple of Criticare and will get a Welch in the next couple of days. Friend of mine died and has some excess surgical supplies......need anything? By the way very nice cobalt blue on limestone!

roybloom

Thanks, I did that......says invalid registration ....could be that the back up is an image and avoid all this stuff. I have a flash drive with a backup, and the old drive still lets me use OD on the new computer.

roybloom

so I take out the new HD put in the old HD get the registration key....and viola....invalid key....ugh

roybloom

Gosh this is a real pain in the butt. I just can not get OD data from one hard drive to another. I have tried everything. There must be a step I am missing. It would seem this would be fairly simple. stop mysql( program runs fine as a trial) rename demo ...copy and paste from one hard drive to anoth...

roybloom

Just moved OD to a new computer. It is asking for a registration Key. I have never seen this.

roybloom

What model Criticare monitor do you have? I have a couple...one is the scholar III I think the other is the model before that one...will be getting POET when replaced....think they may have discontinued those though...use bluetooth precordial scope instead of capnograpgh at this time. Nice addition...

Roy- An Anesthesia Module will soon be available in OD, and it's designed to automate a lot of what you are doing by hand right now. If you want a preview, go to Setup > Modules and click the 'Enable Anesthesia Module' all the way in the lower right hand corner of the window. Enabling the module wi...

The reason I suggested Sites was so that you could filter the patient select window better. But I suppose you could also do that in your arrangement by using the Guarantor checkbox in that window. I'm trying to remember if there was another reason I suggested sites. What else are you trying to do? ...

roybloom

I have tried to set up accounts by site using the public health portion...it did not seem to work well for me. I am trying to setup accounts where each patient I see is assigned aother doctors office. This office is the guarantor. There are a lot of reasons for this. Some offices really struggle wit...

roybloom

A bridge to Quickbooks Pro would take care of all of that.

roybloom

Thanks Debbie...got it all fixed today. Good to see you are there...you guys rock!

I just can not help but hear that Cheech and Chong song when I see your name on these posts.

roybloom

That would be neat!

roybloom

I do not know who it was that posted about logmein...Thanks! What a live changing experience! No more laptop, no more printer to carry around. May not seem like a big deal....but I carry a lot of items with me and anything I can do to lighten the load is worth thousands... I love the new ease of aut...

roybloom

Does it matter if the computer that you are backing up from has a FAT32 file system and the computer that you are backing up to has a NTFS file system? Anyway to fix this if it does....other than reformatting the new server to FAT32?

Thx

roybloom

OK, so I got a server. I wanted to install open dental to it and use my flash drive to back everything up to it. I have tried using the trial version....using setup from the a-z and all it says is

unable to connect to any of the specified MySql hosts

Ugh...I was hoping to try out Logmein tonight

roybloom

I use logmein free version, and in my opinion it is an absolutely fabulous service. On another thread, I understand that it is being used with an iphone. I will be checking into this soon. Anybody not using logmein is really missing something wonderful. I can print remotely with the free version, b...

No, I have not looked at that. I will today.

Thx Jordan

roybloom

I may be missing something here but I think there is an easy solution for what you are wanting to do which is different from the original topic of this thread. If you run open dental on your server at your business office, you can access it from any remote computer with internet access using LogMeI...

Set up family with non patient guarantor and trying to email treatment plan to him....seems I have to add email to each patient as there is no check box for same for all family as there is for phone, address, and zip etc.

roybloom

Never mind found it under patient information...seems you have to access it after you set up the patient and go back in to family to edit. Is there a faster way?

roybloom

I Here are the advantages of Autonotes: very intuitive; easily changed on the fly; a common template for an exam and findings; easy to add extra detail as needed; included in Open Dental and no extra costs. I like the autonotes A LOT - simple, yet elegant. After all, you don't want to write 'War an...

We like printing addresses on plain standard inexpensive envelopes and actually use another program to do so. Yup, sounds cheap, but it just doesn't make any sense not use the computer to print an envelope. it's too simple. If anyone can get Sheets to work with standard 9 or 10 envelope please post...

roybloom

That is really cool. So you could see your appointment book? Can you make changes to the appointment book?

roybloom

I travel to several offices and do independant contractor work. I am trying to find a way to have docs offices tracked and also patients. On the surface it appears that the account should be set up as the Docs office and then all patients seen at that office should be family members. Is that the bes...

roybloom

I am sorry. I know this has been covered and I can not find it. It used to be evident where a patient was referred from ...I just can not seem to locate it.

roybloom

I don't know if there is a place to track current inventory. If you watch the person who places the orders, you will notice that they do not take a current inventory before they decide what needs to be ordered. They instead go through each item on the list and compare the amount in stock with the pr...

roybloom

This is a really interesting post for me. My practice is to travel to 20+ offices and provide IV sedation,oral surgery and endodontics. All of the practices I go to have internet access. I would love to have a dedicated server at my business office and access it from all the other offices. The only ...

roybloom

Why is it that chart entries do not appear in the order they are typed. For example I enter 3 Rx's in a row and they get split up in various portions of the progress note section. I enter clinical notes and they appear in between various extractions or anethesia codes. Is there a way to set up OD to...

roybloom

Thank you. I am voting for sync with mobile and email RX.

Thanks

roybloom

Says I need to update to dot net 3. something.....when was I supposed to do that? Seems I remember that was done at upgrading? Heck I do not even know how to do that.

Thanks

roybloom

How is the web based version coming.

Thanks

roybloom

Is anyone using the ECG bridge someone wrote for OD? Does it work with Criticare? How do you set it up? I bought the USB to serial port but have not been able to get any connection and have been told that hyperterminal has to be used.

Thanks

roybloom

It would be even better to email an electronic RX and use no paper. Is that going to be available soon?

Thanks

roybloom

I use a scanner to scan the ECG and sedation record into the patients chart. It really does take a while...especially since most of the time I have to scan twice. Does OD allow direct import into a patients image portion of the chart using the wireless SD card Eye Fi? Seems like it would save me tim...

roybloom

How do you vote?

roybloom

How close are we to having the ability to sync open dental appointment to the calender on a smart phone using windows mobile?

roybloom

Does open dental work well with this setup? Can you have your data folder on an XD card and the program on the solid state hard drive?

roybloom

Is there the ability to transfer the appointment book to windows mobile 6?

Thanks

roybloom

How do you incorporate a fill in the blank(pt name, date of future service type of service etc that will automatically place the pts address the location the service is to be provided etc on your letterhead inside of open dental. Also, is there a way yet to RX online. I have found some outside progr...

roybloom

How did you do that with sheets?

roybloom

Is there a way to send an electronic Rx to a pharmacy in OpenDental?

roybloom

As of Sept 1st I have to have my DPS # on all Rx. I brought this up several weeks ago. I just downloaded the current update and do not see where to enter it.

roybloom

I am becoming very unhappy with XP...did you know you have to have an A floppy to install SATA drives over 137 Gigs...i do not haver one. I tried an old one and it did not work.......of course Vista lets you install the drivers from a CD. So do I go buy a Mac and which one or go buy Vista Business.

roybloom

Texas Dept of Public safety #s now have to be on the printed presriptions.....any other state requiring their state law enforcement numbers?
