Account Preferences
Labnext allows you to record preferences for your doctors, which will print out on case work tickets. It’s very helpful way to provide account specific directions to your technicians. And, Labnext allows for a great deal of control over when a preference prints on the work ticket. It can be a general category, down to the level of a procedure. It can also be by provider which can be valuable when working with practices that have multiple doctors.
Setup Account Preferences
- Go to Settings | Accounts.
- Find the account and press edit.
- Choose the Notes tab.
- In the Work Preferences section you will press Add.
- First you will select a Category. This category is coming from the procedure type section when you create a procedure.
- It is possible to just choose fixed by removing the sub category (scroll to the bottom of the list and choose the empty field). The result will be that any procedures in the fixed category will get this preference.
- An example for this type of setup might be tight contacts, where you want the preference to print on any procedure that is setup in the fixed category.
- You can also move into various level of detail to control when the preference shows.
- For example always use high noble alloy for gold crowns.
- Here you would select the Category Fixed, Sub Category Full Crown and Procedure Full Cast.
- Another level of detail might be a practice provider always wants a phone call before adjusting the opposing. Here you would set up the category fixed and choose the provider from the list.
Labnext offers convenient functionality that allows you to drilling into report details and leave the summary open. This will work with any report or list that has a link on the page. For example:
- Build a report: Cases to Ship
- To look at details of a particular case, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the case number link.
- The Labnext case will open your case in a new browser tab.
- You can look at the case and then click on the report tab to go back to the report.
You can also right click on the tab at the top of the browser and choose to Duplicate to move forward with another search. An example of this functionality might be to evaluate the setup or price of a procedure you have just entered on a case. With the case open on the screen go to the tab at the top, right click and duplicate and then go to Settings | Case Settings | Procedures | Lab Procedures.
