Taking a Photo of a Patient
When patients arrive in your office, you may want to take their photo so that team members can easily recognize them. With YAPI's iPad app, you can take photos of new patients and update photos for existing patients by following the instructions below. The photo you take then automatically updates in Dentrix, Open Dental, or Eaglesoft and can be viewed from YAPI as well.
