Easy Notes Pro
I've been a huge fan of this incredible time-saving program, Easy Notes Pro. Here's a recent email I got from the developer, Dr. David Burton:
"Also, please mention that with EasyNotesPro you can type as many notes as you want, the problem is that Dentrix limits you to approximately 4,000 characters of text which is slightly more than a page and a half. I would also like for you to know that we now have a NEW version of EasyNotesPro which will write notes into any software on the market, and we achieve by one of three methods.
Method #1: EasyNotesPro allows you the doctor to link your customized toolbar to a 3rd party software application and have the toolbar enter your patient notes directly into the 3rd party software it is linked to.
Method #2: Allows the same linking as method #1, but instead of writing the notes directly into the 3rd party software, the notes are written into the EasyNotesPro text editor screen, allowing you to accumulate your notes, and when ready you simply click a button on the text editor and the notes are transferred directly into the 3rd party software. (This method works well with MOGO because ENP would write into MOGO separate entries for each button clicked on our toolbar, but by writing to our own text editor screen, you can now accumulate your notes and when you are finished accumulating all of your notes, you simply click on the “Write to App” button in our text editor screen, and your entire note is added into MOGO in one entry rather than many separate entries.
Method #3: Allows the clinician to use EasyNotesPro as a stand alone program, writing your patient notes in the EasyNotesPro text editor screen, and when finished accumulating your notes, you simply click the “Cut” button and then “Paste” your note into your 3rd party software. (For example, this method works well with Open Dental)
Our new version has multiple answer choices (check boxes ) as well as single answer choices (radio buttons ), can also write in different colors for different employees in the office (but Dentrix doesn’t allow this so our colors are negated), and we have forward and back buttons added in the pop-up dialog question boxes. I am in the process of testing the new version out now, and it will be available very shortly."

Lorne, I am assuming that this program may have some limitations, can you tell us what they may be? I have looked and it looks great.
The only missing elements I find are: multiple selections at a time (such as teeth 2,3,4)(looks like that is being addressed) and ability to add a very personalized note into the chart notes (like "John arrived drunk today and his hair was on fire") that may ONLY apply to that patient.
Also, I like the idea of multiple colors. Too bad it doesn't work with Dentrix. Any other Dentrix issues?
Also, they do not mention their support or upgrade policy? Any knowledge of that?
Thanks, Kirk

I haven't found any major limitations. Dr. Burton is really responsive to suggestions and requests. As far as I know, your purchase entitles you to unlimited support and upgrades, but that will likely change over time.

Wow, what a quick response, under an hour...Lorne, are you driving with your laptop on?!!!
Just kidding. I really appreciate the info. I think this is just the solution I was looking for. Dentrix Voice is exceedingly costly and prone to inaccuracy. Typing IS a PITA. My staff can't write a chart note if you paid them to...Wait..I do...oh well.
Needless to say I think this is a simple and elegant solution.
Regards, Kirk
