How do I view unreviewed clinical notes in the task list?

  • Select 'Task list' from the left-hand sidebar.

  • Set the 'Task type' filter (top right) to 'Unreviewed notes'.

  • You can update the 'Assigned to' dropdown as well if needed.

The task is assigned to the person who started the note if they're a practitioner. If not, it goes to the practitioner booked for the appointment, then to the patient's dentist.

Please note: Draft notes can still be edited and may not reflect the final treatment. Completing notes promptly keeps your records accurate and compliant.


How do I review a note from the task list?

  • Click the patient name against the relevant task entry.

  • Dentally will open the clinical note directly in the patients chart.

  • Review the note, select 'Completed', then select 'Mark as reviewed'.

Once you complete the note, Dentally marks the task as completed automatically.

Top tip: Check your unlocked notes at least once a day to avoid a backlog building up.
