(Ames, IA) June 28, 2013—Ortho Computer Systems, Inc. announces the release of Edge Mobile. This new addition to the Edge management, imaging, and communication platform provides smartphone and tablet access to Edge practice data. It is free and immediately available for all Edge clients with Android and iOS (iPhone/iPad) devices.
Edge Mobile provides significant data access. For a specific patient, it shows biographical information, scheduled appointments, the full treatment chart, all images, and responsible party information. You can easily call, text, or e-mail the patient or any responsible party. Additionally, users can view and remove patient records contained in any number of user-definable Stacks.
Edge Mobile displays the schedule exactly as it appears in Edge, and also provides a list view of appointments that can be sorted by time, name, or procedure.
To view a dentist or other professional's record, simply tap it from within a patient record or search for it specifically. Review their biographical information and a list of common patients, and call, text, or e-mail them with ease. Easily jump between a professional record and your shared patients to review progress with the professional.
In addition, each user can scroll through all of the practice graphs and metrics they have selected for their personalized Edge Dashboard.
“Edge Mobile is an exciting tool our orthodontic partners now receive at no additional cost when they select Edge for their practice management, imaging, and communication needs,” says Dan Sargent, president and co-founder of Ortho2. “It’s not an 8 - 5 world anymore, and now the information our clients want is available right from their smartphones in a format that couldn't be easier to use.”
Ortho2 Edge user Dr. Keith Kohrs of Aurora, Colorado says, "The new Edge mobile app is an amazing extension of the cloud-based platform. It gives me immediate and up-to-the-minute accurate access to the treatment chart information and images I need to handle calls from patients and referring doctors when I’m out of the office. The Stacks feature allows me to set up a daily list of patients for my evening care calls and make those calls by just tapping the patients’ information. Plus, I can quickly browse a list of mutual patients as I’m walking into a lunch with a referring doctor. In just a short time, Edge Mobile has become one of my favorite features of the Edge practice management system."
