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

How alerts write back into Dentrix Ascend
NexHealth marks all alerts that patients marked Yes to as Active.
If a patient marks an active alert as No NexHealth will mark that alert Expired in Dentrix Ascend.
If we hide an alert on the Medical History Form and this alert is an active alert for the patient, NexHealth will leave that as an active alert.
Dentrix Ascend does not have a notes section so any additional added alerts or long-form question answers are only visible on the PDF form.
Dentrix Ascend does not have a Medications section. You can add a space for patients to list their medications, but they will not sync back to Dentrix Ascend, though they will exist in the PDF.
