FDS referrals are deleted after the minium 11 years, but indefinite retention of records is desirable for patients with ongoing care ...it would be useful to automatically import them into Dentally as correspondence so we can control storage of our own records.

Better still would be an API interface between FDS and Dentally so that New patients that are referred to us as a provider of e.g. minor oral Surgery can have patients set up straight away from FDS rather than manually creating the patients.

...better yet ...the future will at some point will surely be shared access to patient records - the practice could grant permission to other providers using Dentally for read access and additions to patient records, and for the transfer ownership of patients between practices, or a central storage of patient records a la Google Health.
In what format are referrals currently received from FDS?

Yeah, I don’t see that happening any time soon when some of the basics are not in place.
It’s one way - dentally to FDS so nothing is coming from FDS into Dentally. I guess they don’t have many providers of specialist services like us (iMOS) who need two way APIs. We have to manually download the PDF referrals from FDS and manually setup the patients in dentally.
