Request that the patient's Date of Birth (DOB) be made a mandatory field before saving the patient profile. The reason behind this request is that they typically search for patients by their DOB, and they have encountered multiple instances where there are duplicate files for the same patient. DOB is a more accurate way of identifying patients.

This suggestion is made by Zoe Koch from Bridge Dental in Murray Bridge, SA.

  Hi Zoe,

  Thank you for sending this request.

  For us to understand more how this feature would provide efficiency in recording patient profiles, may we ask for the following?

  • How often do you encounter difficulties locating a patient's profile due to a missing Date of Birth?
  • Are there other scenarios or issues where not being able to add the patient's DOB has caused problems? For example, has treatment ever been recorded under a duplicated profile?
  • Any other use cases where making the DOB mandatory would help improve accuracy or workflow?

  We look forward to your insights so we can assess the impact of this feature more effectively.
