Carestream R4 Integration
Connect to R4 by Carestream Dental — a practice management system used by NHS and private dental practices in the UK. Access patient records, appointments, treatment plans, clinicians, and financial data through one unified API.
About R4
R4 is a practice management system for UK dentistry from Carestream Dental. It covers the full operational footprint of a dental practice — the appointment book, patient records and families, NHS and private treatment and charges, recalls, and clinical notes.
Integration with CRMBridge
CRMBridge provides a normalized REST API layer over R4, so you can work with patients, appointments, treatment plans, transactions, clinicians, and financial data without building against R4 directly. The same JSON shapes and endpoints work identically across every PMS in the CRMBridge ecosystem, so an app you build for R4 works for Dentally, Systems For Dentists, Dentrix, and the rest with no per-PMS branching.
What You Can Access
Patient Records
Demographics, contact details, patient status, and responsible-party relationships.
Appointments
Scheduling data, appointment status, clinician assignments, and appointment book details.
Treatment Plans & Recalls
Planned and completed treatment, fees, treatment status, patient notes, and recall dates.
Financial Data
Ledger transactions, payments, adjustments, and patient balances.
Schemes & Claims
NHS, private, and plan schemes for each patient, and the claims raised for their treatment.
Clinicians & Staff
Clinician and staff rosters, clinics, and appointment books for scheduling and routing.
