Note

Please contact your local customer support to verify whether your PMS can be integrated with DTX Studio™ Clinic.

To enable this integration:

Open the Settings dialog.

Click PMS integration.

Select:

Enable PMS integration to allow th communication between DTX Studio™ Clinic and your PMS system. If multiple services are used on your computer, changing port numbers might be necessary. Enter the port number for OPP protocol or other PMS services.

Ignore PMS Practice ID to enable treatment of the same patient by different practices or dentists.

Enable patient creation and import to allow the use of the button in DTX Studio™ Clinic. If this option is cleared and if PMS integration is turned on, patient data can only be loaded via the PMS system.

Now the PMS can communicate with DTX Studio™ Clinic and DTX Studio™ Core.

From within PMS you can send the patient info to DTX Studio™ Clinicand start capturing an image for this patient. If the patient record does not yet exist in DTX Studio™ Clinic, the patient record is created with the information from the PMS.

From within certain PMS systems you can open an image directly in the DTX Studio™ Clinic diagnose module. The most recent diagnosis will be opened. When new images are available for a patient, the image metadata and a generated thumbnail are sent to the PMS (only for certain PMS systems), so that the clinician has an overview of all the images of the patient (a watermark is added to the generated images).
