How to turn on Condensed Charting?
Condensed charting can be toggled on or off per user, to enable condensed charting on your account:
Click on the drop-down arrow in the top-left of the patients Chart screen to see the 'Chart Options' menu.
Click on 'Enable Condensed Charting'.
Likewise, to disable 'Condensed Charting', go back to 'Chart Options' and choose 'Disable Condensed Charting'
What is Condensed Charting?
Condensed charting allows users to change the chart display from four rows of teeth (two baseline rows and two treatment planning rows) into two rows of teeth that combine both baseline and planned treatment.
By combining the baseline and planned treatment into just two rows, you will have the benefit of a decluttered charting screen, providing you with more room to set up your treatment plan.
Condensed charting is a great way to guarantee a simpler and more efficient charting experience. By minimising your chart but retaining full functionality, you can save time in surgery with no more room for miss-charted items.
How to chart with Condensed Charting?
Here are some tips to remember when charting with 'Condensed Charting' enabled:
For tooth-specific treatment items, simply click the tooth as normal when setting up your treatment plan to see the item appear on the chart.
Treatments that are yet to be marked as complete will be displayed in orange.
Once an item is complete, it will change colour but remain on the Condensed Chart as part of the 'Base' chart.
The 'Base' chart can be toggled on/off using the 'Base' tab that will appear on the left-hand side of the chart when 'Condensed Charting' is enabled.
Using the Base Chart with Condensed Charting enabled
If you need to add treatments to the base chart whilst using Condensed Charting, go to the 'Base Chart' tab on the right-hand side of the patients 'Chart' screen.
When you are charting on the 'Base Chart' tab, the option to toggle the Base chart on/off is greyed out. Once you click back onto a treatment plan this will be available for you to toggle on/off again.
