First-time Setup Instructions

In order to start using the application, you will need to enter some information on the setup screen.

Note that this information is also covered in the Quick Start Guide.

When you open the application for the first time, you will see a screen with blank data fields. This is your Options page. Some fields are required information and some are optional settings.

Required: You must enter your Account information (the User name and Password we provided to you when you requested them) and your Name (or the name of your practice).

Optional: Here is what each choice means and how you may wish to respond:

Patient Report Settings:

  • Treatment Options: When you click this box, the Patient Reports will include recommendations for treatment that may be appropriate for the specific patient’s risk and disease severity.
  • Oral Health Topics Link: If this box is checked and you enter a web address (URL), that address will print on reports for your patients’ reference. You may already have a website, but if you would like to sign up for a website with Oral Health Topics for your patients, please contact PreViser Support for more information.
    To view a demonstration version of the Oral Health Topics Library, go to the following address:
    http://drnolf.myoralhealth.com
  • Oral Hygiene Recommendations: If this box is checked, the Patient Reports will include recommendations on how patients can improve their oral health.
  • Use Patient-Friendly Terms on Patient Report: If this box is checked, the Patient Reports will use "patient-friendly," less technical terminology than on the Clinical Reports. If this box is not checked, clinical terminology will appear on both Patient and Clinical Reports.

Technical Support:

  • Application Logging: Leave this box unchecked unless advised otherwise by a PreViser Support Representative.

Training:

  • Training/Demonstration Mode: This box should be checked if you are viewing the application in demonstration mode only. You do not need a User account in order to run the RiskCalculator in Demo Mode only.

Reports Prepared By:

  • Name, Address, Etc.: This is the name of the clinician that will be printed on all patient reports. For practices with multiple offices or dentists, the Name may be the practice name (for example, Cascade Dentistry).

When you have completed the information, click Save to proceed to the Home page. You have now installed and set up the application and can begin using it. We recommend you review the Introduction pages in the User's Guide for a quick overview of the program and how to use it.

You can go back at any time and make changes on the Options screen by clicking on the Options button in the top toolbar of the application:
