At this point, the system has calculated the patient’s age (based on their date of birth as compared to the exam date), and the age determines the specific page that loads after the Exam Date screen. The next screen will either be Target Tooth or Patient Info, and the content on each of these screens will also vary depending on the patient's age:

If the patient is 18 years old or younger, you will see an additional screen to indicate a “Target Tooth,” used as part of the risk calculation for younger patients. The Target Tooth screen displays three types of teeth which are generally appropriate for that age grouping; this is explained more in the next few pages. After you select a Target Tooth, the appropriate Patient Info screen follows.

If a patient is 19 or older, the age-appropriate Patient Info screen will load immediately after the Exam Date screen.

Note: Does this sound confusing or complicated? Don't worry! The system performs this selection process automatically as you enter data, simplifying your experience as a user. However, for your reference, this documentation will review the contents and functional logic of all variations of the Target Tooth screen and Patient Info screen, as detailed below and in the following pages here in the User's Guide.

The patient age groupings, and the resulting relevant screen which will load after the Exam Date screen, are as follows:

• Patient Age less than 1: You will see a warning that a patient must be at least one year old to have a Risk Assessment performed accurately.
• Patient Age 1 to 4: Target Tooth C screen
• Patient Age 5 to 8: Target Tooth B screen
• Patient Age 9 to 18: Target Tooth A screen
• Patient Age 19 to 33: Patient Info F screen
• Patient Age 34 and older: Patient Info G screen

Again, you don't have to memorize any of this information or page terminology. The functional logic of the application determines it all for you, but so you can understand the flow of data entry, the following pages detail the contents of the various screens you may encounter.

If a Patient is over age 89:

Note that PreViser™ software requires the Patient age to be between one and 89 years old to be risk-assessed.

To comply with US HIPAA standards prohibiting the transmittal of information for patients age 90 or over, PreViser™ will not allow data to be sent for a patient of this age. For these patients, you can modify the data entry in order to Finish the risk assessment.

Age is calculated by the difference between the Exam Date and Date of Birth. If you try to Finish a Risk Assessment for a patient age 90 or older, a message will inform you that the patient age must be between 1 and 89 years. You can then Save for Later, go back to the Patient Details page, and temporarily change the Birth year so that the system calculates the patient's age as 89 instead of older. This slight change in age will allow the information to transmit and Finish the report, but will not affect the risk score. See the Medical Privacy documentation for more details about this requirement.

Next, we will look at the Target Tooth A screen.
