Are you in the sizeable minority of dental practices still running a paper-based management system? Do you still need convincing to make that leap of faith to a fully computerised system? Here are a just a few of the reasons why changing from paper makes great business sense.

 

The heart of your practice

Professionals are at the heart of every dental practice. Mitigating workload and stress among the team by lightening the load of administrative tasks can only benefit your practice, your colleagues and ultimately your patients. Making life easier for your team with software that simplifies routine tasks and improves communication is enhanced further by massive time saving advantages through features such as free direct patient registration and patient data exchange features.

 

A one-stop practice management solution

If you have an NHS contract, embracing computerisation is imperative. As the NHS moves with the times you will find you won’t be able to submit claims and manage your contract in any other way. Embracing a fully digitised system with many of the traditional barriers removed, creates a smoother operation and offers an impressive time saving solution.

Mixed practices benefit equally from using an integrated workflow featuring seamless communication between staff and secure storage of patient data. This also provides a much more efficient and effective service for patients, encouraging their satisfaction with the practice in general.

 

Ensure you get the most out of your dental practice software

So much of your office workflow depends on scheduling. When your system runs smoothly, so do your other practice processes. Practice management software allows you to see at a glance who is providing care, what treatments are taking place in what time slot, patient details and all the information you need to know about the day-to-day schedule.

The latest software also enables you to monitor your business performance, so you can see exactly how efficiency your practice is running. From chair occupancy to income by provider, treatments in the pipeline and patient recall systems, everything can be assessed and inefficiencies identified to improve the day-to-day running of the business.

 

Innovative access

An electronic system may seem daunting at the outset, but with any new system, the learning process brings with it enlightenment and a new confidence in creating processes that are reliable, efficient and time saving. Don’t be restricted to viewing your appointments, patient records and images the traditional way or even just by using a computer screen. Now, some software can be accessed wherever and whenever is most convenient for you, via smartphone integration, for example.

Practice management software via your smartphone can keep you up to speed with your patients’ most relevant details, allows you to easily access, update and amend your diary and even view patients’ X-rays and other images whilst on the move. This can also be useful when referring cases or collaborating with other practitioners not based in the same practice.

 

Combination of power and simplicity

As dental professionals, patient records must be kept up to date and in these days of compliance, regulation and litigation it is vital to keep a permanent record of treatment plans, radiographs, 3D images and patient conversations. Practice management software takes the headache out of organising all of this data and makes it simple to keep information securely in a single patient file, giving peace of mind whilst protecting patient data.

 

KPIs drive business growth

Modern dental practice management software can be used to monitor real-time practice success in detail, helping to quickly identify areas of your business that can be improved. It can deliver easy-to-read reports that can be accessed at any time and using this information enables practices to adapt their marketing campaigns to target the right patients with the right messages at the right time. All of this data helps you to deliver outstanding patient care while also boosting profits and increasing efficiency.

The move from a paper-based system has already been made by the vast majority of dental practices and as dental practice management software develops into a fully integrated business tool, the benefits are multiplying.

Automating and streamlining your existing processes with practice management software frees up more precious time for you and your team to focus on patient care. Creating a more efficient, productive and profitable practice will offer the opportunity to dedicate time and resources to patient care and communication.
