Connecting your PMS with the Bridge

Rebrief connects to your practice management software through the Rebrief Bridge, a small application you install on the Windows computer that runs your practice management system. Once it's connected, Rebrief can bring in your schedule and patient records automatically.

What the Bridge does

The Bridge runs locally on a Windows computer at your practice — the same machine (or network) where your practice management software lives. It securely sends your appointment schedule and patient information to your Rebrief account, so your chart data stays in sync without manual entry.

Supported practice management software

The Bridge currently connects to:

• Open Dental
• Dentrix
• Eaglesoft
• AbelDent

Note: The Bridge only runs on Windows, and it needs to be installed on (or have access to) the computer where your practice management software is running.

Connecting your PMS

1. Download and install the Bridge on the Windows computer that runs your practice management software.
2. Open the Bridge and sign in with your Rebrief account.
3. In Rebrief, go to Settings to connect your practice management software.
4. Choose your system — Open Dental, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or AbelDent — and follow the prompts to complete the connection.
5. Once connected, Rebrief begins syncing your appointment schedule and patient records.

Tip: After the initial sync, look for a Sync Now option if you want to pull in the latest schedule or records right away instead of waiting for the next automatic sync.

What syncs after connecting

Once your practice management software is connected, Rebrief can bring in:

• Your appointment schedule
• Patient records and charts

New and existing patients, along with their appointments, appear in Rebrief without you having to enter them by hand.

Note: The Bridge updates itself automatically, so you shouldn't need to reinstall it to get the latest version.

Keeping the Bridge connected

• Leave the Bridge running on the practice computer so Rebrief can keep syncing.
• If your practice management software is upgraded or moved to a new computer, you may need to reconnect the Bridge.
• If syncing stops working, check that the Bridge is running and that you're signed in with the correct Rebrief account.
