Denver Dentist Upgrades Practice Management Software.

(Newswire.net — April 30, 2013) Denver, CO — Dr. Timothy A. Schwartz, DDS has been practicing dentistry in Denver since 1976. A busy dental practice has a lot patients coming in on a regular basis. Managing the flow of patients and this vast amount of information requires competent staff and a robust system to track them all.

“PracticeWorks” is a practice management software designed from the ground up specifically for dental offices. It was originally created in 1993… “It was one of the first Windows programs available in the dental industry.”  Regarded as the best program for dental clinic it is assembled in modules: administrative module, voice activation module, charting module, and imaging module.  PracticeWorks was the first dental practice software that used an appointment book, instead of list of patients. This really made it easier to use than other systems.

Effective dental clinic management software is essential to ensure patients have a positive experience. Many dental procedures are routine and occur at predictable intervals ie. a dental cleaning every 6 months. Such procedures are easy to schedule at the time of the current cleaning. However, many patients do not wish to schedule teething cleaning 6 months in advance because of busy schedules. The software is very efficient in tracking when it is time to notify a patient to schedule a time to come in for a routine cleaning. By helping to make sure patients keep on top of routine dental care, better oral hygiene is promoted.

Many other procedures such as cosmetic dentistry involving dental implants or veneers require more complex treatment plans and multiple appointments. Dr Schwartz says, “Having this great automated system and awesome staff to run all of this allows me to focus on my patients and their treatment plan.”  The system allows for an immediate overview of the day and week ahead to manage the case load without having patients wait needlessly for care. Having the patient contact and dental insurance information immediately accessible is of real value. Being able to contact patients quickly for emergencies or to follow up at home with a patient after a procedure just makes the practice work better.
