Documenting Dental Patient Encounters

You can use the Home Page and Histories templates in NextGen Adaptive Content Engine to document the encounter details of a dental patient.

The Dental User Guide forNextGen®Adaptive Content Engine is intended for dental professionals, such as providers, nurses, and front office staff, responsible for documenting and processing patient information. The Dental User Guide forNextGen®Adaptive Content Engine also provides information on how to document pediatric dental care.

You can document the dental office and virtual visit workflows on the Home Page and Histories templates.

Before documenting a standard visit, you must configure settings to quickly access the templates. The common configurations associated with the templates include the links in the navigation bar, reasons for visit, medications, allergies, social history and so on.

NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine, NextGen® EDR, and NextGen® Enterprise PM applications are essential and interdependent in the dental workflow.

Before documenting a dental patient encounter, you must get familiar with the features, functionalities, and common configurations available in the template set.
