Jeff, I like your option. My IT just got done changing gmail/Outlook365 from POP to IMAP and now it works. However, all of the organization I had is gone, and a big new dump of uncategorized emails are waiting for me to sort. Maybe I'll check to see if I can go back.

I also had a network connectivity issue 1/25/2019 on just one workstation which was counterintuitively solved by running Win updates. There is chatter that MS has issued more recent updates to fix what they broke in previous ones. This was on one of my Win7 machines. Which v are you on?

$51 camera. Has anyone tried one of these out? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N44NTZU?psc=1

It used to be said "There's a million dollars sitting in your filing cabinet, you just need to know how to get it out." Now it's all in your computer waiting to be found. if you hire a PM consultant this is one of the first things they look at. My very strong belief is that unscheduled treatment pla...

FWIW, here's what Charles Blair DDS, a noted authority on fees, codes, and insurance has to say about the advantages of submitting full fee: 1 Proper calculation of patient benefits for coordination of benefits by secondary insurance (your full fee can often be obtained from the combination of two l...

There is not currently a way to have this kind of popup trigger. Feature request 1302 "More automation conditions." would be a great starting point. I recommend you vote on it and add any additional notes you wish. PracticeWorks seems to have the automation thing pretty well down, for example about...

Kevin,

Would it be difficult to have appointment color based on productivity measured in $/hr? That would help us immensely in our block booking.

Have you looked at this page? It is extremely helpful in getting your system backups going. http://www.opendental.com/manual/backups.html

Jay,

We have a Staples SPL-XC240P with 24 sheet capacity. We've had it 2-3 years and still running. It is quiet enough to run during the day. Actual results may vary.

Works for the MD-960U MD-830UF MD-930 MD-749 BestCam and EZCap DC60+

Does anyone have pros & cons for these cameras? I'd like to purchase on eBay for my ops but not sure which would be better.

I subscribe to Reality and they recommended this service. Here's what they wrote: "Are you complying with HIPAA privacy rules when you communicate with your patients or with labs and specialists about your patients via email? The answer is a resounding no if you are using popular programs such as Ou...

Steven, Are you also a Club Lighthouse member? If so, and when you get a chance to catch your breath from making the transition, would you be willing to let us know how well some of the systems that Allen set up for PW and shared as articles and experts are handled in OD? Also,for any missing functi...

Wouldn't it be nice to have tabbed function similar to Google Chrome?

What i really need is to be able to get a recall list, and then add the crm side to it, so that on any day, i can just get my receptionist to get on the phone, and have the computer to tell her who to ring, rather than spending her time finding out who to ring! I know that there are crm software, b...

What are you using now? We've been very impressed with Lighthouse 360, but here's a list on the Open Dental website that lists several others. http://www.opendental.com/manual/partnersupplementalservices.html If you want to get other people's opinion on most of these, cruise on over to the Dentaltow...

Ahhh. That makes too much sense. Thanks Jordan!

PracticeWorks user here considering the switch when OD features surpass existing features in PW for my office. Do you guys have any sort of automated task list or is it on your feature request list? I've attached some screen shots of how PW is set up for this: Configuration: http://bit.ly/XLfx29 Off...

Or could it be that since Version 12.4 was released on 2/12/2013, 13.0 was skipped?

So, in 2011 and 2012 the minor version series started with "0", and this year a "1". That's the question...

I'm curious. Silly question here... Back in 2011 version names began to match the last 2 digits in the corresponding year, starting with 11.0 This year we skipped 13.0 to 13.1. Is this so we will be able to more quickly tell how many versions there are in a particular year?

I'm sure you've already started by looking here first?

V12.4 Perio charting now supports positive gingival margins aka hyperplasia. http://www.opendental.com/manual/perio.html Is that soon enough?

No, sorry to say PWorks doesn't do this that I'm aware of and I'm not really sure if anyone else does either. After a cursory look at OD, missing functions such as "office expert", "automation expert" and "expert exchange" seem to be a bit of a deal breaker but I can't say that I've looked in enough...

Part 3 would be to use this information in a powerful way for block booking. As a PracticeWorks user considering a future conversion to Open Dental, do I get any votes?

It's been a few years so I don't know if it still holds true, but Apteryx rebranded as Cliniview came free with my purchase of Optime. There is a setting in their bridge that either connects via SSN or BD. I've had mine changed so it only has to match name and BD, so have fewer popup screens asking ...
