Patterson Dental Supply has released new updates to its Eaglesoft clinical and practice management software.
The fully customized medical history in Eaglesoft 17 allows users to ask questions that can help them reach the information needed for each specific appointment. Eaglesoft Web, coming in early 2014, enables users to view their schedule, patient accounts, medical history, prescription history, proposed treatment, and clinical images while they are away from the office.
With Patterson Auto Update, users will receive more frequent updates through its Web connection, rather than installing a disk. Additionally, Eaglesoft News Feed, an RSS feed, will provide users with the latest news from Eaglesoft regarding software and technology updates.
Eaglesoft 17 also includes improved imaging software, Eaglesoft 3D Viewer by Dolphin. The updated version allows users to import images into Eaglesoft and use a few select Dolphin 3D tools to manipulate and enhance images. An exposure meter informs users if they are not using the optimum exposure on their Schick 33 digital images.
For Eaglesoft Clinician users, the updated software also integrates with Emdeon's Clinician EHR Lite. Additionally, a CareCredit bridge provides a direct link to process credit applications, which are automatically prepopulated with patient information.
There is also increased security on provider and patient notes -- a new setting is available to make provider notes editable by creating a provider-only option. Lastly, the 2013 Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT codes) are available for installation.
