Terms in a Caries, Root and Fracture Risk Assessment:
Exam Date

Exam Date: The date you enter should be the date of the exam, rather than the date of entering the data into the PreViser RiskCalculator™.

Note: The exam date must be equal to or earlier than the date when you transmit the Risk Assessment, according to the system’s logic which will not recognize a future date as valid. Therefore, you can enter a future exam date and save the Assessment for later (as Unfinished) but cannot transmit the data for Risk Calculation until that date is current or past.

By default on unfinished assessments, the Exam Date on the Patient Details page list appears as today's date (the date you start the new Risk Assessment).

The system will calculate the patient's age for this Risk Assessment based on the Exam Date compared to the patient's birth date. The age then determines which screens are displayed in the wizard.

Note that the PreViser RiskCalculator™ requires the Patient age to be between one and 89 years old to to be risk-assessed. The Patient's age may affect the ability to comply with HIPAA Privacy standards; see the Medical Privacy documentation for more details.

You can also click the calendar icon next to the date field, which opens the calendar tool in a small popup window, shown below:
On the calendar tool, click on the date of the exam, which closes the calendar window and returns you to the Exam Date screen with the Date field completed. If you wish to select a date from a different month, simply use the drop-down lists to change the month or year, then click on the date from the month displayed.


Prepared By: This name appears in the report heading to indicate who prepared it. By default, this field displays the current Name which appears on the Account Options page. However, you may change that name if you wish, which allows you to permanently indicate which clinician prepared a particular report. This may be useful if you have multiple doctors and hygienists using the RiskCalculator and you want the reports to show the individual preparer's name. Also, if you acquire a patient or patients' records (by referral or by buying a practice, for example), all the past Risk Assessments are marked with the name of the original person or practice that prepared the report.
