technology
focus: 2017
The more your technologies can
work together and communicate with
each other, the more successful your
practice will be. And your practice
management system sits at the
center of your technology platform.
they can tell you've invested in high-tech equipment that improves
their experience and makes the practice more efficient.
What now?
By now you should have a pretty good idea of how to start
building or rebuilding your practice's technology platform. You
might be thinking, "What good will it do to have my systems
all humming to the same tune? Maybe a faster system? Less data
entry?" I encourage you to think bigger.
Technology can be an enabler to help your staff do more, and to
do it better. Having a vision for the technology in your office is critical
to its contributing to your success. If you know which processes you
want to automate or eliminate to free up your team members, or you
know what kind of experience you want to provide your patients, you
already have the beginnings of a technology implementation plan.
Every plan and every step you make for your practice should have
technology at its core. Technology should never be an afterthought
or looked at as a liability; it should be the starting point for all you do
to serve your patients and practice dentistry. Create a vision for what
your products will enable you to do for your patients, day in and day
out, and you'll start to experience great success.
Technology isn't dead weight. It's either going to impede your
progress as a practice or enable you to reach your goals, whatever
they may be. Do you want your technology to create problems for
your practice because you don't have a plan, or do you want to use
technology to make your practice more streamlined because you
planned ahead and automated processes? Technology is an active
player in how successful, efficient and productive a practice truly is,
which is why developing a solid technology platform, with a robust
practice management system at its core, is so essential.
You don't need to be a technology expert to do this. As a busy
dentist with patients to treat and a business to run, you simply
don't have time for that. You do, however, need to embrace your
role as practice chief technology officer and to help both your team
members and your IT vendors see your vision for an integrated
platform. Once you have that technology platform in place, it will
drive practice growth and success for years to come. ■
