Charting
...
Charting shortcuts are used to quickly chart common procedures or supercodes. Using a charting shortcut is simple. Select the correct chart (Patient Chart, Completed Procedures, or Treatment Plan) in the incident panel and panel and left click on a tooth. The tooth will be highlighted to confirm the selection. Click a charting shortcut to immediately chart on the patient. Notice that the Clinical Notes Table will update as well showing all the newly added procedures. If the charting shortcut is for a cleaning or an item that should not have tooth numbers included, deselect all teeth and then click the charting shortcut.

One thing to keep in mind...
In order for a Charting Shortcut to visually chart a procedure onto a patient chart, the code you wish to create a shortcut for must be mapped on the Charting Code Map. This can be a complex subject, so we strongly recommend both referring to the Charting Code Map Guided Learning article, and reaching out to MacPractice Support if you run into any issues. We also advise creating a backup before modifying the Charting Code Map, in case any mistakes are made.

Click the ellipsis (...) in the charting shortcut table to create a new shortcut. This next process is exactly the same as modifying a shortcut, select a Modifying Shortcuts. Select a Fee, Tooth Condition, or Supercode. Select the Icon Image to add as the charting shortcut. Select an image from the default apple images or select other to use finder to locate an image.

Modifying Shortcuts
Shortcuts will come set with a default selection. The shortcuts will most likely need to be updated to work with the office fee schedule. Simply right click on the shortcut to modify or view the selected codes. A charting shortcut can be set to pull a fee from the a fee schedule, a tooth condition, or a supercode. The user will need to input a surface if the procedure requires a unique surface code.
