Want More Backbone to Drive Your Business?
You train your staff for efficiency, right? Can you do the same for your computer network?
Are you ahead or behind with your backbone technology?
Are you drowning in technology, looking for data in the wrong place? Tired of seeing IT interrupt your world? Spending time shepherding your staff through yet another IT call where nothing gets done?
None of this enhances efficiency — and efficiency’s what you need to keep your practice running smoothly and the revenue coming in.
Let’s Look at Technology Behind the Scenes
When digital x-rays became available, did you wait to get them? Today, would you open a new practice without digital x-rays?
It was 1957 when the Airotor, a high-speed air-driven contra-angle handpiece, was introduced by John Borden, immediately “launching a new era of high-speed dentistry.” Think about where you’d be without it today. And, in 2004, fewer than 25% of dentists used chair-side computers. We’ve come a long way since then.
The majority of dental practices today use a plethora of technology, including:
- Hardware: computers, digital x-rays, cameras, intraoral cameras, imaging tools, laptops, tablets, network, server
- Clinical applications: charting, imaging, diagnosis and treatment, patient education
- Administrative applications: word processing, spreadsheets, email, backup management, scheduling, patient records, insurance claims, HR, accounting
- Dental practice management software, but since none is really a complete dental technology solution, you’ve probably added additional software
Technology = Efficiency? Not Always
Sure. The advent of dental and administrative software has improved efficiency, making it easier to schedule patients, eliminate paper charts, and almost instantly see the health of a tooth via imaging.
But, it’s also created headaches because of the complexity involved in needing to do so many things across an array of programs/locations. Think about it. You probably have software that deals with:
- Patient records
- Scheduling
- Invoices
- Billing
- Payroll
- Image management, intraoral cameras
- Inventory
- Accounting
- HIPAA
- OSHA/infection control
- Marketing
- Insurance claims
- Treatment planning
And maybe some of that software is on one computer while other software is on another and still more resides on tablets or smartphones. This means it can be hard to find the data you need when you need it, which cuts into your productivity, leaving you less efficient than before.
Accessibility, Security, HIPAA, and Backups
But finding the data you need is just one of challenges. The setup of a compliant, secure network with appropriate hardware and devices brings its own obstacles, as does the need to comply with HIPAA’s 75 security controls to secure applications, databases, and systems that contain electronic protected health information.
And then there’s the issue of backups. Have you encrypted them? Ensured you can restore the data? Stored them offsite?
How Many Problems Does Moving to Cloud Software Solve?
It’s likely you’ve heard that companies are moving to cloud software to boost efficiency, save costs, and grow revenue, but what you might not have heard about are the additional challenges that come with such a move.
Those are good pieces in the big-puzzle picture, but they miss a very important point. When you run your own server racks or participate in the public cloud you’re the one left responsible for a slew of crucial tasks.
You need to:
- Ensure security and compliance
- Configure the software
- Conduct and test your backups
- Invest in hardware
- Maintain the hardware
- Fix problems as they arise
- Deal with downtime
That means these “partial” cloud options take a big time and IT investment — not necessarily something you want to invest in when you could focus on growing your practice instead.
