Print X-Rays on Transparency Stock

Dr. Lawrence Kaye, Akron, Ohio

If you prefer, you can print x-rays onto transparency stock rather than standard paper.

Some doctors with whom you work may prefer to receive transparencies rather than paper. In some cases transparencies may be perceived to be of higher quality than paper even though the image detail and quality may be very similar.

Depending upon your printer, you may find that transparency printouts produce an image that is darker or lighter than the comparable image printed on standard paper. Experiment with your printer to determine whether you need to set your brightness/contrast a little darker or lighter for transparency printouts.

Transparency stock is available at most major office supply stores.

“Preselect” Patients from Front Office Workstation

XVa3 Customer Training Department, Apteryx, Inc.

At the beginning of the day, the front office staff can streamline the process for opening the day's patients in all operatories that use XVa3.

Using the scheduling function in your practice management software, determine which patients have appointments for the day. Open each of the patients in XVa3 in REVERSE order (i.e., open your 12:00 noon patient first and your 8:00am patient last). The reason you do this in reverse is because XVa3 places the most recent open patient in the Recent Patients palette in front. You may close all of the patients at the front office workstation if you choose.

In the operatory, right-click on a blank area of the XVa3 desktop. Select Recent Patients, then select the patients scheduled for that specific operatory. Repeat the process for each operatory.

Using this process, XVa3 can be up and ready to go for each patient in the operatories before the first patient has even arrived.
