Visual Practice is designed for the entire practice
Explore how with VO you can save time, money, and effort in every area of your practice.
Treatment Chart - Deliciously powerful.
Start with a conventional history of encounters, procedures, and case notes. View the entire case history at a glance with our interactive graphical case timeline with drill-down capabilities. Create and update color-coded tooth charts to document the installation and removal of braces, archwires, appliances, retainers, and to capture tooth alignment progress. Kick it up a notch with our unique interactive 3D tooth alignment editor (Windows clients only). Navigate back and forth within the 3D tooth alignment editor to visualize tooth alignment progress in full 3D (compatible 3D LCD panel required). And finally, monitor and control your treatment effectiveness through our unique Tooth Alignment Score interactive 3D chart. This is fun!
Medical History - Flexible and extensible.
Use the built-in medical history wizard to quickly pick up and assemble the relevant answer set based on your practice's standard checklist, change any checklist item or add your own items on the fly as you are capturing the information from the patient. Launch the initial patient survey on a wireless tablet and hand it to the patient for immediate and accurate capture of the patient provided information directly into the database. Have the patient sign electronically on the tablet, then print or save as PDF the completed New Patient form to share with the patient, insurance company, or the referring entity.
Diagnosis - Swift and powerful.
Capture and document your diagnosis quickly by using the built-in diagnosis wizard to quickly pick up and assemble the relevant answer set based on your practice's standard checklist, change any checklist item or add checklist items on the fly as you're capturing your diagnosis elements.
Treatment Plans - Standardize what-ifs.
Define and capture as many alternate treatment plans for each case as you need, capture the total estimated cost, and all the important steps and procedures for each. Memorize any treatment plan into a template, and use any saved templates to create future treatment plans, other similar cases, or patients.
Records - All in one place.
Just like with a physical patient binder, flip pages back and forth (or use the built-in direct navigation control) to quickly view and update all patient related case data: demographics, referrals, insurance, contracts, patient history, diagnosis, treatment plans, images, appointments, treatment notes, insurance claims, payments, patient document library — and all case related staff tasks, reminders, and notes. Lickety-split!
Scheduling - Set appointments with ease.
With simplicity and speed, schedule appointments across multiple books, stations, and offices. The system automatically calculates the duration of the appointment based on the procedures (or procedure sets) you select. Switch to week view for a quick assessment of each weekday's patient load, then use the daily view to pinpoint accuracy. Easily generate appointment reminder lists that you can use to phone, e-mail, or text reminders. Use the built in e-mail gateway to trigger e-mail or SMS appointment reminders directly from within Visual Practice.
Check In - Instantly check in patients as they arrive.
With Visual Practice you can easily use drag and drop today's scheduled patient entries to change, reschedule, move, withdraw, cancel, and mark as "no-show" in a flash. No need to navigate multiple screens. You can now check-in or adjust patients quickly and efficiently with a flick of the finger or a click of the mouse. With Visual Practice you can even accept walk-in patients right from the check-in workflow, all with the same incredible ease.
Check Out - Process released patients quickly and efficiently.
Accept cash, check, EFT, or credit card payments while automatically posting to the appropriate ledger, print receipts, schedule the patient's next appointment, print a detailed walkout statement, and finally check them out at a supersonic speed. They'll think you're some kind of wizard! You can even complete and file your insurance forms all from within Visual Practice.
Lighting - Rapid patient management.
Control patient flow by viewing what patients are in what stage and in what location within your practice, key into the automatically updating average waiting time for each patient queue to reassign staff and resolve patient bottlenecks, and optimize doctor's time via the built-in prep readiness flagging tool. Drag and drop to easily move patients along the workflow with immediate access into the clinical treatment module and patient records.

Lickety-split!
Demographics - Easy and intuitive.
Capture basic and extended demographics information about the patient, siblings, emergency contact, and medical alerts (allergies, major surgeries, etc.). Convert siblings to patients with just one flick of the finger or mouse click. Access and document basic and detailed case information, initiate a new case, and assign a patient fee schedule. Capture the patient's initial Health Survey, obtain their electronic signature, generate and print the Patient Welcome form.

Contracts - Your main revenue tool.
Define patient contracts to capture your agreed-upon treatments and financial commitments. The system will automatically generate as many contract cycles as needed based on your selected contract length and cycle frequency, and will pre-calculate the amounts due at each cycle based on the negotiated total treatment cost, expected insurance coverage amount, fees, write-offs, promotional discounts, and the selected financing parameters such as the down payment and your annualized financing (interest) rate. Have the patient or responsible party review, then sign electronically on your tablet to lock in the terms.

Documents - The ultimate paperless vault.
Capture and store images of referral letters, signed patient releases, signed contracts, insurance and responsible party correspondence, EOBs, etc. by scanning, importing, or capturing from a webcam. Generate, mail-merge, and print or save as a PDF. Create sophisticated, richly formatted letters based on customizable templates, with access to most fields in the database — including images! Everything you generate is stored in the database for your reference and easy subsequent retrieval. All of this is built right into Visual Practice, so you can save a bundle by not having to purchase, patch, and keep current, expensive additional software (like Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat) for each of your computers!
Referrals - Manage your network.
Capture referral parties, referral types, and referral notes for both inbound (from the general dentist, a former patient, or a marketing campaign) and outbound referrals (to the oral surgeon for extractions, etc.) — all in one place. Use the case referral information in conjunction with our Documents mail merge feature to generate, print, and/or e-mail patient referral letters via built in (or customized) letter templates. You can scan, capture, and store incoming referral letters, leverage our Universal Query feature to list and compare the referral results of your marketing campaign.
