In this episode, Dayna Johnson discusses how to clean up duplicate medications, medical conditions, and allergies in the health history module of Dentrix. She explains that the only way to delete a medication or medical condition is if it is not attached to a patient, otherwise, it needs to be inactivated. Dayna also highlights the common causes of duplicate entries, such as syncing data from Dentrix questionnaires and not properly checking for existing entries. She emphasizes the importance of training the team to prevent these issues and suggests dedicating time to regularly clean up the lists.

Takeaways:

➡️To clean up duplicate medications, medical conditions, and allergies in Dentrix, inactivate the entries that are attached to patients but remove them from the active list.
