Dentally allows you to edit the medical history questions you ask patients. According to Government guidelines for winter 2021 to 2022, all screening questions should be carried out prior to arrival by telephone, online or as soon as possible on arrival. The updated Screening tools for COVID-19 can be seen here.

Setting the Medical History Expiry Interval
You can set how often you wish your patients' medical history questionnaires to be marked as 'Out of Date'. Once a medical history is considered to be out of date, the red Medical History marker will show at the top of their records and a warning indicator will show in the patient's portal when the patient logs in.
This expiry interval is set in the same area that you set and edit your medical history questions. Settings > Treatments and Plans > Medical History Questions.
At the top right of your medical history questions page, set the interval at which you wish the patients' questionnaires to be set as out of date.
