Using iConfiDent with DecisionBase

With the latest release of iConfiDent we have added the ability to integrate with the popular checklist driven reporting tool DecisionBase. The folks at DecisionBase where kind enough to work with us to come up with a powerful bridge between the two systems.

In this post I describe how to setup the integration and a detailed description of how to use it. I hope you agree with me that it very straight forward to get going but at the same time offers a valuable time saving way of incorporating iConfiDent into your practice work-flow

Update
The folks a DecisionBase have made a short instructional video that is also very helpful.

Setup

Set-up only takes a minute or two. In DecisionBase open up the Applications Manager from the the Applications menu. Click on “New Application” and in the name field type “iConfident”.
Click the radio button marked “Website” and place the following url in the field.

https://www1.iconfident.com/i/fc.htm?un=username&pw=password&f=[PatientFirstName]&l=[PatientLastName]&d=[PatientBirthday]

Replace username and password with your iConfiDent username and password.

Check the “Apply to Practice” option if you wish everyone in the practice to be able to launch iConfident. Click the “Save” button.



Thats it!! Now you are ready to launch iConfiDent from DecisionBase.

Launching iConfiDent

Once setup you can navigate to 'Applications' / iConfident to automatically open the browser at iConfident.



iConfiDent will attempt to match a patient case based on the patients name and DOB (date of birth).
Depending on the type of match it find iConfiDent will display one of 4 options to you.

1. Multiple Patient Matches

2. Multiple Partial Matches - the name matches but the DOB does not.

3. No Matching case is found

4. The patient name and DOB match exactly
