Adstra Systems has released the 2008 version of its dental software suite, Adstra Management M5.
The program's new features include a redesigned graphical user interface, appointment book enhancements, user-definable tooth and surface validation rules for dental procedures, and a variety of new reports, according to the company.
Adstra Management M5's redesigned graphical user interface features a movable toolbar, resizable windows for log screens and charts, time-saving hot keys, an on-screen keyboard that allows typing using only the mouse, a calendar button that eliminates the need to type each date, and a direct link to the Remote Assistance Web page.
Appointment Book enhancements include a right-click menu option that allows users to go to Imaging, a Reassign Appointments option for transferring all appointments for a specific time frame from one provider to another, a Recalls button that displays the patient's family recall dates, and an option to automatically add a patient to the Short Call when he or she cancels an appointment. Right-clicking in the time slot for the cancelled appointment in the Appointment Book and selecting Short Call Matches automatically displays the list of patients from the Short Call list whose preferences match that date and time.
