November 2022 Release

over 1 year ago by Matt Cameron

We’re excited to share some updates about the On-Prem Synchronizer Installer for Open Dental, Dentrix, and Eaglesoft. We also have two new video tutorials that will get you started faster with the NexHealth API. The first covers how to book an appointment, and the second explains how to read and write patient forms.

Synchronizer Installer

We’re streamlining the onboarding process for new locations by enabling developers to install and auto-configure the NexHealth Synchronizer. This gives you the option to fully own your customers’ onboarding experience.

The Synchronizer Installer now supports Open Dental and Dentrix, with Eaglesoft compatibility coming soon. We’re already using the Installer regularly to perform installs for the NexHealth web application, and we’re excited to roll this out to developers. If you want more information about using the Installer, please reach out to [email protected].

Tutorial: Managing patient forms

Use the NexHealth API to create and manage patient forms programmatically, saving time for patients and practices. This video explains the basics of our Forms endpoints, and it includes a side-by-side comparison of how forms work in the NexHealth API and web application.

The video covers:

  • Creating a new form request for a patient to complete
  • Monitoring the status of a form request
