(see "Purpose of Quick Chart Menu" on page 6) Quick Chart Menu benefits (on page 7) Quick Chart Menu primary features (on page 7) Requirements for using Quick Chart Menu (on page 7) Purpose of Quick Chart Menu This is a dynamic hover menu that displays as you move your mouse cursor over each tooth in the chart. < Purpose is quick application of services to teeth: Many dentists spend much of their working day on treatment plans and billing. The Quick Chart Menu is a productivity tool that directly improves efficiency in treatment planning by providing quick access to the services they use most frequently in treatment charting and base charting. How is it used? Customise the hover menu with the services most likely to be applicable to treatment planning. This is a simple, quick procedure, so you can even customise the menu for setting up treatments for individual patients. Hover your mouse cursor over a tooth to display a hover menu with the charting history of the current tooth, and icons for applying services. Apply a service to the tooth or the tooth surface(s). This graphically "applies" the treatment to the tooth and lists the treatment in the tooth history. The Quick Chart Menu, EXACT v10.16 rev 2, 01 March 2013 Page 6 Quick Chart Menu benefits Benefits include Apply services to the chart without taking your attention off the chart. The facility is graphically intuitive, so it speeds and simplifies charting. The tooth history per tooth are listed in the hover menu, so you do not have to move away from the chart to read it, and you can move quickly from tooth to tooth. For purposes of populating the hover menu, EXACT identifies your most frequently used services and positions them at the top of service lists. You can also prompt EXACT to recalculate this calculation. You can very quickly customise the chart with a set of services that best apply to a particular users or group of users. This Quick Chart Menu feature is available to all local EXACT users, and does not require registration. Quick Chart Menu primary features The most significant features include: < Graphical interface with colour coding Intuitive operation Quick application of services Hide or show the menu Historical tooth treatment displays on the menu Optional Autofill to populate the menu with most-used services The hover menu is customisable: o o o o o o Automatically populate it with the most commonly used services, or add services can manually. Quickly alter the size of the menu grid and number of services shown. Delete services or drag them from the hover menu. Add new services to the hover menu by double-clicking them in the list. Reposition services in the hover menu or group them as required. Customise services with a different icon and/or colour, either via the hover menu, or using the Edit Service Item dialog. Requirements for using Quick Chart Menu Requirements for using the Quick Chart Menu include: Quick Chart Menu is only available in EXACT version 10.16 or later. Services need to be defined before they are available for applying via the menu. Usage statistics are not available for new EXACT users. Usage statistics define which services Autofill the menu, but they can only be defined if there is a working history of services usage; i.e. they can only be defined for existing EXACT users. When existing users upgrade their software to version 10.16, an upgrade process analyses the practice's chart data and compiles a list of the most used treatment and base chart codes for each user. This process considers parameters such as the last year's data for each user or their last 5000 service items usage. In the Edit Service Item screen, a menu graphic should be assigned per service item, except for the chart graphic type, which has pre-configured menu graphics. The Quick Chart Menu, EXACT v10.16 rev 2, 01 March 2013 Page 7 Using the Quick Chart Menu An important productivity tool If you spend considerable time in treatment plans and billing, it is particularly useful to learn all Quick Chart Menu facilities in order to maximise productivity.

The Autofill facility enables automatic population of the most used services into both the Base (top) and Treatment (bottom) areas of the Quick Chart. A new provider has no services usage history, and therefore by default sees only 5 blank spaces on the Quick Chart Base and Treatment menus. Once a Provider completes and charges (or TCs) some treatment plans, EXACT is able to calculate which services this Provider has used most frequently. To check the percentage service usage In the Configure Quick Chart Menu, user would now choose the "Recalculate List" for EXACT to check which services are used most often. Below screenshot shows a new Provider who has treated their first patient with 2 fillings (A and C). The Recalculate List button shows this now as 50% for each service. User then chooses "Auto Fill" to update these 2 services into their "Treatment" area of the QCM. Same process would be used for updating the Base tab. For practical application, the dentist would periodically go into Configure Quick Chart Menu (as needed) and choose "Recalculate List". The provider can always manually add services by double clicking or dragging them to the "rubber band" (stretch-able) QCM "grid To Autofill the Quick Chart Menu Autofill enables you to automatically populate the menus with business, that are not already on the menu. the most commonly used services in the < For new installations with no usage statistics: For a completely fresh installation of EXACT, the software has no data to calculate, so will simply empty boxes. produce 5 To customise the calculation period for autofill Configure > Settings > quick.chart.data.monthscharted The Quick Chart Menu, EXACT v10.16 rev 2, 01 March 2013 Page 22 Recalculating the services Usage percentage list See also: Autofilling the Quick Chart Menu with services (on page 22) To recalculate the service Usage statistics before Autofill You have the option to This causes EXACT to click the Recalculate List button prior to clicking Autofill. recalculate all of the lists for all users simultaneously, and may take some time. Note how the ordering of icons in the Treatment tab below follows the percentage Usage: < The Quick Chart Menu, EXACT v10.16 rev 2, 01 March 2013 Page 23 Using the service categories in the Treatment tab In the Treatment tab you can conveniently display services by category. So, for example, if you are planning a cosmetic treatment, it is convenient to be able to display just the cosmetic services for loading into the Quick Chart menu: Choose Cosmetic: ...to display: > < These available Treatment categories are as defined in the Service Code Categories configuration. The same categories are then available throughout Charting. For example: See also: Categories The Quick Chart Menu, EXACT v10.16 rev 2, 01 March 2013 Page 24 Custom Treatment service icons You can customise icons to better apply particular policies. For example, a popular strategy is to colour a range of services in a similar way: Colour categories Because configuration is quick and easy, you can also change the colour of many default graphics "on the fly". This enables you to assign meaning to colour variations of each graphic. Services without assigned graphics Services that do not have a default graphic (or user selected one) appear as a grey icon with a question mark. You can customise these by both graphic and colour. Customisation limitations: < The Select Graphic button is only available to users with security permission to edit services. Some graphics are pre-set: All the services with a chart graphic type have a fixed menu graphic that cannot be edited except with the colour setting. Fillings have a standard MO shape, with the graphic scaled to fit the line height. The icon cannot be customised, and the Select Graphic button is greyed out.
