Abstract:
Previous dental information systems of UPCD, namely Open DentISt and DentISt2.0,
allow the clinicians to store and access patient dental records electronically. Both
systems however only implemented the Oral Diagnosis section of UPCD. It is incon-
venient and impractical to reprogram the entire system to add the 3 other sections or
if there are changes in UPCD in the future. DentISt 3.0 integrated a work
ow man-
agement system to manage the
ow of tasks of clinicians during patient treatment
and to allow the system to adapt to changes in UPCD without the need to reprogram
the entire system.
In DentISt 3.0, the system work
ow can be modi ed and the changes made are
automatically adapted by the system. Forms can also be added dynamically using the
web-based form editor. The system allows clinicians to perform tasks based on their
roles. All clinicians can add and edit section-speci c patient records, set appointment
with patients and refer patients to other UPCD sections. Faculty clinicians can also
approve patient record updates.
