Something is considered “superior” when it achieves a certain status. As relates to how you store, manage, and access your dental practice data a cloud-based system is superior to paper-based systems.
Before we talk about a specific (and superior) cloud-based solution let’s review some cloud advantages.
Ahead of the curve
The migration to digital operations is more than underway. It’s become the norm to streamline operational systems away from paper – dental operations included.
- Electronic forms and EHRs (Electronic Health Records)
- Secure, online patient portals
- Touchless protocols including billing, form delivery, and more
Beyond those practical operational benefits, paperless dentistry is improving patient satisfaction.
The digital, cloud-based environment adds a new dimension to patient-facing engagement.
Convenience
Patients appreciate the option to access and interact with their care providers without paper. Sure, some are still slow to completely ditch hard-copy forms or other perceived important paperwork. But they are the exception these days.
”Only 13% of people prefer using physical forms.”
Personal ownership
A cloud-based platform provides an easy to access patient portal. These days patients like feeling in-control of their healthcare and provider relationships.
Accessibility includes:
- Comprehensive patient data and related records
- Treatment history
- X-rays, digital images, and diagnostic data
- Secure billing and payment processing
The digital, cloud-based environment adds a new dimension to dental practice management.
Convenient, easy access to patient data certainly applies to practice management workflows. Beyond those systemic benefits you an expect a sustainable investment and high cost savings.
An eco-friendly, sustainable investment
Going green is certainly a choice. But it’s a choice that keeps pace with those who prefer to preserve the environment.
A Nielsen study indicated that 73% of Millennials will pay more for environmentally conscious services. That realization can help your practice acquire and retain patients from this substantially large demographic.
Cloud-based solutions make a digital not a biological impression on our planet. That in contrast to the million plus ink-cartridges that are discarded daily.
A cost-saving investment
Consider the immediate financial gain your practice can make by going digital via the cloud. Paper supplies, film, printing supplies, printer maintenance, charts, etc can total thousands of dollars annually.
Those savings go into your profitability or could be reinvested in cloud system upgrades.
About that superior cloud-based system
We’re not shy about saying that our Denticon cloud-based system makes the transition from paper easy and seamless. There are biases for sure but we prefer to let our experience in the cloud environment speak for us.
Experience matters
Denticon was built from the ground up. It has a long track-record on the digital landscape for multi-location group practices, solo practices, and DSOs.
We get it. Being tethered to paper, charts, and other tangible assets feels secure.
Even so, we’ve made the transition from paper to cloud more intuitive. You’re perhaps already using some form of digital technology to manage your dental practice(s).
Dental practice management software housed on traditional, server-based system is the standard starting point. Our cloud-based system takes that up a notch
