Purpose: illustrated, non-clinical-friendly guides for exploring and
testing the dental app on the demo instance (test-client-dental). This
page is the overview map of the whole patient journey; each stage then
gets its own workflow diagram on its guide page under Workflow at a
glance (inguides/dental_app_guides/), so every diagram sits next to the
step-by-step text it explains. Each diagram shows the business rule in
plain English, the flow (UI → backend → database), and a pointer to the
demo data you can test with. You do NOT need to be a dentist to test the
app — this section is the map that makes the workflows readable.Only implemented workflows are covered; where a feature does not exist yet
(e.g. Lab Work & Case Tracking), the guide says so honestly instead of
inventing behaviour.
This is the whole system as a single flow. Read it top to bottom: a patient
calls → the practice books them → their symptoms are triaged → the dentist
charts and notes the treatment → radiographs support the diagnosis → an FP17
claim is submitted for NHS reimbursement → recall rules bring them back.
dental_dentalappointment). The test walkthroughs tell you how to| # | Stage | Who | What happens | Demo data you can use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Booking | Receptionist | Patient books (practice → type → provider → date → slot); symptoms are captured | Oliver Reed — Filling, NHS Band 2 |
| 2 | AI triage | System + clinician | Symptoms → urgency score (1 routine … 5 emergency) + a SNOMED clinical code; booking lands in the triage queue | Lucas Ferreira p5 (facial swelling), Fatima Hassan p4 (toothache) |
| 3 | Surgery workspace | Dentist | Charts the affected teeth on the odontogram (FDI numbering), dictates a structured note (CO/O/E/Rx/Advice), approves & commits it | Tom Bennett — tooth 46, historical film matching |
| 4 | Radiographs | Dentist + AI | X-ray films ingested from the imaging system, AI-reviewed for risk flags, matched against the patient's history | Tom's 6 films; PERIAPICAL match ~96% |
| 5 | FP17 claim | Dentist/practice | Claim submitted for NHS reimbursement with band + treatment codes | FP17 demo scene |
| 6 | Recall | System | After treatment, recall rules schedule the next check-up; reminders go out automatically | NICE recall settings |
Each workflow diagram lives on its guide page in guides/dental_app_guides/
