Answer to Question 1

practice management software

Answer to Question 2

Patient registration: collects patient's demographic information and possibly a digital photograph for the dental record.
Appointment scheduling: allows a standard allotment of time or a custom allotment of time for scheduling appointments; this software must be flexible and fit the needs of the dental practice.
Insurance billing and claims tracking: should be integrated with the patient accounts and may be set up for electronic claims submission for third-party payers and should identify patients who have received treatment but for whom claims have not yet been submitted, patients who have preauthorization for treatment, claims that have not been paid 30 days after submission, and accounts that have received only a partial payment from the insurance company.
Patient accounting information: keeps track of total charges for the day, total charges for the family, amount paid and when, remaining balance, remaining deductible, and age of balance, as well as the financially responsible party.
Patient recall reminders: identify patients who should receive a recall notice and patients who failed to respond to a previous recall notice.
Patient referral: keeps track of who referred each patient, prepares statistical reports, and compiles lists of all patients referred by a specific dentist.
Practice reporting: provides administrative and clinical reports providing data about patient account status, provider productivity, appointment utilization, and treatment plan procedures.
Inventory management: provides the functionality to monitor inventory items including supplies and equipment.
Electronic dental record: stores the complete dental record.
