Future-proofing: Wire everywhere,
3D/CBCT, what can wait?
1. Startup practice with eight treatment rooms, outfitting three: One monitor at 12 o'clock, one TV at 6
o'clock and one ceiling TV for entertainment
Each of these rooms is getting three mounts: one for each monitor
and one for a TV. Let's imagine the practice is growing and now we need
to outfit Treatment Room 4. Ideally, you'd prefer to not call the general
contractor back out to cut through your new walls! In this scenario, we
ask the contractor to install backing, HDMI pulls and electrical for all
the TVs as a Day 1 install. This way, when you go to outfit Rooms 4-8,
the backing, electrical and HDMI pull line are all in place. All you'd have
to do is order the mounts and TVs and call your IT company to install.
2. Startup practice obtaining a CBCT for opening day
Having a 3D panoramic machine on Day 1 is an awesome thing,
but it does create some budget choices. Luckily, 99% of the time your
supplier will ship the 3D acquisition PC with the CBCT, so you'll have
one computer in your office to use it.
The decision then comes: Do you have money in the budget to cover
the 2D-to-3D computer upgrades in all the places that you will want
them? Most commonly, these areas include consult, doctor's office and
the main treatment room. Some tech companies will sell three models of
computers to help: "2D," "3D Upgradeable" and "3D Ready" models. A
practice could install a 2D computer at the front desk, a 3D upgradeable
in the treatment rooms and a 3D ready in consult and in the doctor
office(s). That way, as the practice grows, you're able to upgrade the
computer after the fact and not be required to replace them to be able
to work with the CBCT.
3. Wire everywhere!
It's a year after you opened, and you'd really like a PC in the
sterilization room, or you'd love a break room TV/computer package
for morning huddles. Do yourself a favor: Close your eyes and envision
every possible place that you may want a computer setup or VOIP phone,
and include these now in your wiring plans. It's much cheaper to do
wiring at the beginning so that in the future, adding a new computer
is as simple as plug-and-play!
