Patient Management System — Electronic Medical Record

A patient management system is one of the cornerstones of a dental practice. Every patient's personal information, medical history, allergies, treatment plans and payment details must be kept in one place. The electronic medical record (EMR) replaces paper-based notes and delivers faster, more accurate and more secure information management.

The GateDent patient module creates a detailed profile for every patient. First name, last name, date of birth, contact details, medical history — all of this is brought together in a single interface. Patients can be found by name, phone number or ID within seconds.

The greatest advantage of the electronic medical record is the complete traceability of the treatment history. Every visit, every treatment and every X-ray image is recorded. At each new visit the dentist can review the patient's past treatments, which helps produce a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Data security is also an important matter. GateDent stores patient data in encrypted form, and access permissions are managed on a role basis. Only authorized personnel can access patient data.
