New Features Recap
New Features Recap
Did you know that we now have online help? You will find it on the Gear menu
Most of the data for these new features will automatically upload to Gaidge, but others need to be added and mapped. For example, emergency detail and start sub-categories must be mapped for all practice management systems, and Active statuses must be mapped for Dolphin practices.
Email Notifications
You can now receive regular email updates on the status of your practice from Gaidge. This feature will need setup to determine which emails you would like to receive and on what day(s). This may be done on the User Profile page, see Setting Up Notifications
Virtual Appointments
You can now track virtual visits on Gaidge. We have added the following:
Virtual Exams – Adult & Child
Virtual Observation and Between Phases checks
Virtual Aligner and Appliance checks
Virtual Triage
Virtual Retention checks
And for Origin of Start – Start from Virtual
For Orthotrac these are all counted using procedure codes. In Dolphin Management, Appointment Types are used for all but the Origin of Start which is a custom field. Cloud9 uses either Appointment Types or Transaction Types See accompanying documentation for your practice management system.
For most of our users, the procedure code or appointment code will need to be added to the practice management system and then mapped. If you’ve already implemented these, you are a step ahead!
New Exam and Start Categories
The additional exam and start sub-types have been added to Gaidge. Treatment starts can now be tracked by age, appliance versus aligner, plus you can separate Medicaid exams and starts. This will help you quantify how Medicaid affects your business. These additions are currently displayed on the Monthly Summary and in the future will be included on the Starts and Exam Charts.
Treatment Starts: in addition to the main start categories: Full, Phase 1, Phase 2, Aligner, Limited and Other, we have added the following subcategories:
Full - Full Adult, Full Child, Full Medicaid
Phase 1 - Phase1 Aligner, Phase1 Appliance, Phase1 Medicaid
Phase 2 - Phase2 Aligner, Phase2 Appliance, Phase2 Medicaid
Aligner - Aligner Adult, Aligner Child
Limited - Limited Adult Aligner, Limited Adult Appliance, Limited Child Aligner, Limited Child Appliance
Other
The subcategories are indented in the Gaidge Summary image above.
