Patient Health Record

Recent enhancements and original features on Patient Health Record (previously called Patient Health History) can help your office become more efficient by delivering critical health information so you can better prepare for your patients. For members with Empire dental benefits and an affiliated medical plan, you can:

  • view medications, recent diagnoses, ER visits, or lab results that may affect your patients' dental health
  • confirm medical conditions that may display specific symptoms in the mouth

  • receive care alerts that notify you of any care gaps, or update your patients' medical condition
  • share patient vitals (like blood pressure, height, or weight), which can identify at-risk patients and reduce severity of systemic disease
