OCTOBER 2017 // dentaltown.com
Every dentist who's ever opened a practice knows there's a short
list of technology and equipment they must purchase before they can
start diagnosing and treating patients. Investing in technologies that
cover imaging, X-rays, charting, billing, insurance and scheduling
is a great place to start, but focusing on just the pieces of equipment
and the individual products you need isn't enough. You need to
find a way to bring all those technologies together so they work
cohesively. That's exactly what a technology platform does.
Think about your technology platform as the fabric that ties
your entire dental office together. "Great," you say, "but where do I
start?" I like to start with what's most important in my practice: my
patients. Where is their information stored? How do I handle it?
If your patient records live in your practice management software,
which is the case in most practices, that software will serve as the hub
for everything else in your office-and is where you need to start
building your technology foundation and, ultimately, your platform.
All the technology decisions you make now should be informed
by how and what your practice management software can or cannot
do. That's why it's important to invest in robust practice management
software that not only can talk to a lot of other systems in your practice
but also is agile and has a heavy focus on connectivity. This means
connectivity across all parts of your practice-between the front office
and the back office, as well as outside the practice to contacts like dental
labs and insurance companies. This level of connectivity makes it easier
to communicate with team members in your office throughout the
day, as well as to exchange important information with other dentists
and doctors also involved with a patient's care.
