Adopt the workflow staff already know
Teams create the referral beside the patient chart instead of opening another system and rebuilding context.
Capture at the source
Start every referral inside Dentrix Ascend.
Furca runs alongside the patient chart, carrying the referral context into a trackable workflow before the patient leaves the operatory.
- Patient context carries forward
- Ownership starts at creation
- No separate referral spreadsheet
Referral creation inside Dentrix Ascend
The executive value
Protect specialty demand before it disappears into a manual handoff.
The extension turns the recommendation made in the operatory into a structured referral with a destination, status, and next action your team can manage.
Create a complete handoff
Specialty, destination, affected teeth, notes, and patient details travel with the referral record.
Give every referral an owner
The receiving team can see what arrived, what is unscheduled, and what needs attention next.
How it works
One referral record from chairside through specialty care.
Furca creates the operating record that scheduling and analytics use later. Nothing has to be reconstructed from email, notes, or a spreadsheet.
01
Create from the chart
Open Furca while the patient record is already active in Dentrix Ascend.
02
Route with context
Select the specialty and destination, then include the clinical details the receiver needs.
03
Work the next action
The referral enters the appropriate queue so ownership and follow-up stay visible.
What teams can do
Built around the decisions that move referrals forward.
Capability 1
Patient-aware referral creation

Designed to reduce duplicate entry and incomplete handoffs.
Capability 2
Destination-aware routing
Send the referral to the intended specialty and receiving location.
Receiving teams see demand in the queue built for their workflow.
Capability 3
Lifecycle history

Questions
What buyers usually ask.
Does Furca replace Dentrix Ascend?
No. Furca adds a specialty-referral workflow alongside Dentrix Ascend so teams can keep using their existing practice-management system.
What information is included in a referral?
The referral can include the patient context available to the extension, destination specialty and location, affected teeth, notes, attachments, and the ongoing referral history.
What happens after the referral is created?
It appears in the appropriate Furca work queue where the responsible team can schedule, document outreach, update the outcome, and link the relevant appointment.
