Oasis provides a Bar Code system for use in processing Autoclave records and tracking instrument usage in dental practices. Oasis also offers a "steriroom" alternative process.
There are three components to the system as follows:
1. Barcode Printing – Oasis prints out barcodes onto single or sheet labels. Each barcode is a unique incrementing number. Most practices will print two copies of each barcode label. One label is affixed to the autoclave pack (either before or after it has gone into the sterilizer). The second barcode label is either affixed to a manual record book or scanned in as a document.
2. Scanned Barcode Documents – Practices wishing to store electronic copies of the second barcode label usually print a series of barcodes a sheet at a time. The second barcode label is left on the sheet. The practice then affixes the sterilizer printout tape onto the sheet and scans both Into the Oasis system.
3. Barcode Reading – From within the Oasis treatment module, the operator selects the Barcode option. This loads a special clinical note entry screen. In this screen the operator is presented with data entry columns enabling barcodes to be scanned in using a compatible barcode reader.
The clinical note is then saved and becomes part of the normal clinical notes auditing system.
