The current version of the DENMIS User’s Guide
will provide dental personnel with the information
necessary to effectively use DENMIS. The manual
contains sign-on, data entry, screen format, and
sign-off procedures. The structure of this manual is
designed to assist the user in reporting provider
productivity through the Dental Information Retrieval
System (DIRS) in a timely manner.
DENTAL INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
SYSTEM
The Daily DIRS record (formally known as
NAVMED 6600/11) is designed to give providers a
record of treatment performed daily, as well as time
involved in patient care and nonpatient care functions.
Every provider in a DTF keeps track of the clinical or
laboratory procedures he or she does. These
procedures are recorded on a daily DIRS form and
turned in at the end of the workday. Figure 2-4
illustrates a blank daily DIRS form that is used by a
dentist for operative or general dentistry. Your
command will have other specialized forms depending
on where you are assigned. For example, if you were
assigned in the X-ray department, your daily DIRS
form would have descriptions and codes to identify
X-ray procedures you perform. The daily DIRS forms
are produced locally for each DTF. Each provider’s
procedures are compiled at the end of each month and
submitted via DENMIS.
HEALTH CARE RELATIONS
PROGRAM
The delivery of quality health care has always been
a driving force in the operational and managed care
environment of Dental Treatment Facilities (DTFs).
The Navy’s Health Care Relations Program, BUMED
Instruction 6300.10, provides general guidance to the
establishment of this program. The program has three
parts, which are Internal, External and Patient
Relations.
PATIENT CONTACT PROGRAM
All Navy dental and medical treatment facilities
have in place and use what is called the “Patient
Contact Point Program.” It is through this program,
administered in each Navy Dental Clinic’s in-house
instructions that all patients and beneficiaries are able
