Ortho Chart

The Ortho Chart can be used to keep track of orthodontic visits in a grid format.

In the Chart Module toolbar, click Ortho Chart.

Alternatively, double-click the Ortho Chart area from the Ortho Tab.

The information in this window is completely separate from information in the regular patient chart. The Ortho Chart can also be adapted for other purposes unrelated to orthodontics.

Ortho Chart

The Ortho Chart is customizable based on Ortho Chart Setup. When opening the Ortho Chart, a new row is automatically created for the current date if one does not already exist. The patient's primary provider is associated with this row.

Ortho Chart Locking

Ortho Charts can only be edited by one user at a time. By default, the Locked by note displays at the bottom with the current user allowed to make edits.

Take Control: Only displays for users with Ortho Chart Edit permission. If the Ortho Chart is locked by another user, the Take Control button displays and other buttons is hidden. The user cannot make edits until they click this button to take over editing.

When a user takes control from another user, the current controller's work is saved and can be seen by the new controller.
