Oasis dental software manual

There are other text files created by different processes. We embed fields from these files into a template document so whenever a template is loaded, it reads the text file and updates the patient details accordingly.

To make the process of creating templates easier, we created a Word macro called the Oasis Document Assistant. The installation will auto detect which version of Oasis is running unless you have both V8 and V It will also detect whether it is a local or RDP installation.

Once installed, this ribbon bar should display. If it does not, you may need to click the Add-ins option, then Oasis, to see them as follows: Link to Oasis General will link to "merge. Link to Oasis Recalls will link to "recalls. Link to Oasis Appointments will link to "apps. Link to Diag Diagnosis Sheets will link to "merge2.

Link to Oasis Output file will link to "output. We recommend normalising to ensure the document remains as it was when first created. If you do not normalise, the document will dynamically update any changes to the patient's details the next time it is loaded. Clicking the Patient Details option will display a window where you can select fields to incorporate into a document.

As you select fields, the macro inserts the field numbers into the document. When you click the "Preview Results" option in Word, the patient data replaces the field numbers. If a template is saved with the patient data visible and not the field numbers , whenever you load the template, the currently selected patient's data will appear in the document.

If there are multiple charts for the patient, there will be multiple "gchartxxx. These files can be added to a document using the corresponding ODA menu items when the template has been loaded.

However, if you want them to load automatically when the template is loaded, you will need to add them using the Insert option in Word. The image file will be updated each time you select a new patient and then select the appropriate template. The linked file will be automatically loaded when the template opens.

It is important to note that the only mechanism for updating Diagnostic Worksheet data is the Diagnostic Worksheet screen. If you add Diagnostic Worksheet data to a template, it will not be updated if loading the template from the Correspondence screen. You therefore need to have unique templates for diagnostic worksheet data that are accessed through the Diagnostic Worksheet screen.

Click the Correspondence option in the Diagnosis screen and then select the template from the Correspondence listing. This updates "merge2. Note: Exercise care here as if not loaded this way, wrong diagnosis data could be displayed if a template using "merge2.

For those that do not want to purchase Microsoft Word, Oasis has its own word processing module called Oasis Word.

It is a less feature rich alternative. It looks a little like an earlier version of Word for Windows. The features to be aware of are the patient merge drop-down and the Merge Tools. These options give Oasis Word similar capabilities to Word for Windows. You still create template files with embedded fields, which automatically load a patient's details whenever the template is used. We will also assume the older document naming convention of.

Review Source. A decent product bogged down by poor programming. OASiS worked very well for our company once we finally learned to use it properly. The adjustment period was very long, but the software itself is excellent for veteran users with textbook level familiarity with Dental and Oral Medicine terminology, and users with advanced computer skills.

It could use a design face lift. I would never use it again unless it took care of that problem. Jan from Fonality. The work order to pass on tickets to other departments is good as it allows who's action needs to be taken. I do no like the layout of the software. It is very old school and everything is in plane text.
