The Medical history form is dynamic, and it changes options for medical alerts (conditions, medications, and allergies) based on the medical alerts already in your health record system. These options are read directly from your health record system.
For use with NexHealth Forms
Overview
What NexHealth reads from Dentrix/Dentrix Enterprise
NexHealth reads all the alerts from Medical Conditions, Allergies, and Medications.
If an office has an alert marked ‘Inactive’ NexHealth will not read in these alerts.
NexHealth will read in the alerts exactly how they are in terms of their spelling, capitalization, dosage, etc.
Any misspelled alerts will need to be fixed in Dentrix or Dentrix Enterprise. NexHealth support cannot change them.

How alerts write back into Dentrix/Dentrix Enterprise
NexHealth marks all alerts that patients marked Yes on the NexHealth integrated Medical History form to Active in Dentrix/Dentrix Enterprise.
If a patient marks an alert that is listed as Active in Dentrix/Dentrix Enterprise as No, NexHealth will mark that alert Inactive.
If NexHealth hides an alert on the Medical History Form and this alert is an Active alert for the patient, we will leave that as an Active alert.
If the patient adds any additional alerts, NexHealth will add these to the Health History Notes.
Patient responses to any of the Long Form Questions also go to Health History Notes.
