TRILLIUM TECHNOLOGY'S
CHIROPRACTIC PROSCRIBE ™
FREE TRIAL QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE © 2004
Thank you for downloading Trillium Technology's
demo version of Chiropractic ProScribe. The demo of ProScribe provides you
with the opportunity to experience ProScribe's best features including ease
of creating new patients, entering clinical data and generating complete,
concise reports. Because this is a free trial, there are some features that
are not available. These features include inability to change exam dates,
delete data or modify patient names. There is also a limit of 10 patients
for your trial database.
This document will assist you in exploring ProScribe's
functionality; it is organized in the following way:
You may see an icon corresponding to a toolbar icon on
ProScribe's main screen. This is followed by the name of the feature and a
function key that can be used as a "hot key" when available. The line below
indicates how to access the feature off ProScribe's main menu.

Menu Item | Selection
One-on-one training via phone is available for a $56. This
training includes unlimited software support for 30 days. If you decide you
would like a personal training session, call us at 800-522-2504 to schedule
a time!
BEFORE YOU BEGIN...
There are a number of areas in ProScribe
that can be set to your particular preferences. It is worth a few minutes to
setup your ProScribe software. These settings can all be found under the
File menu option. Feel free to explore all of these settings as they are all
available and functioning with the demo version. These are thoroughly
discussed when you sign up for a one-on-one training session.
We strongly recommend you do the
following before you begin entering patients:
File | Setup | Word Processor
By default, ProScribe will use WordPad
when you choose to Preview your reports after generating. If you would like
to use a different word processor use the Browse button to locate your
desired word processor. Please note, ProScribe is not compatible with
Microsoft Works 2000.
Microsoft Word is often the word processor of choice (although not
required). Generally, Word can be found in the following directory on your
hard drive:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Word.exe
File | Setup | Clinic Doctors
ProScribe can store up to 21 examining
doctor names. Select the desired button (A - F) for each of your clinic's
doctors and enter their names in the boxes provided.
File | Setup | Preferences | Report Generation
There are many options to explore here, all are
self explanatory.
We also highly recommend that you print a copy of our Daily form. You can
make copies of this form at your clinic for use during patient visits. Mark
your findings on the form, then use ProScribe to enter your data on screen
using your mouse. See "CREATE A NEW FORM
ON SCREEN" below for details on entering your data.
