When a new form is created for a patient, how should the new sections be filled in?
Start with a blank form: Does not pull any data forward from previous patient forms.
Start with data recently updated for that patient: Pulls forward information from the same sections of the last updated patient form.
Start with data from the most recent procedure date for that patient: Pulls forward information from the same sections of forms completed on the most recent procedure date.
Ask me what to do for each section: Allows you to select which of the same section(s) to pull forward on the new form. When using this option, it is recommended that the user uncheck sections that pull in patient info or sections that only contain pull fields that pull data form other areas of MacPractice. By unchecking these sections, this allows the data to pull from the database, instead of from a previous form. This is important in order for the form to reflect any changes made to the patient account since the last form was created (for example - patient age, patient got married and their last name changed, change in insurance coverage, etc.).
Filled with same form first: Pulls forward information from the previous time this specific form was used for the patient. Uncheck if you want information to pull forward from a section by Last Updated Time regardless of the form you are in.
Ignore Signature Boxes When Pulling Data Forward: Allows you to prevent the signature box information from being pulled forward into a new form.
Ignore Billing Data when Pulling Data Forward: If checked, this preference will ignore any billing-related data from being pulled forward into a new form.
