 | An Argument for the Web

#5: Your
system is always hosted on redundant systems to ensure it is always available.
Simply put, doctor, your data will NEVER be lost. Why? Because a number of different servers in a number of different secure locations are hosting your data-and those servers are linked to redundant servers. It's very difficult, time consuming and more expensive to duplicate this kind of data security with client-server software. Call 888-910-4376 for details.

Last week Grace went to the dentist's office for a checkup
and music was playing. She was early for her appointment, but after waiting ten
minutes, an elderly woman sitting beside her said, "Isn't that just like a
dentist? A waiting room jammed with people, and the dentist is in there playing the piano."

Staying in the Zone
|
Katherine Eitel  | |
Power Thought from Katherine Eitel and Associates
It's not that hard to get motivated. You read an inspiring book. Attend a weekend course. Listen to a motivational CD. Watch an uplifting movie (like The Blind
Side... saw it last night... highly recommended!) The trick for most of us is not in getting in
the motivational zone but in staying there. Let's focus today on one question to ask yourself
at the end (or beginning) of your day that is guaranteed to get and keep you
in a more positive space. And here's
another helpful hint: If you want to
raise positive kids... answer this question together at your dinner table each night,
before bedtime, or on your drive to or from work and school. These rituals will not only keep you in
"The Zone" but will actively model for your children the power they
have to get and stay there too. Here's my question: What was
my "Success of the Day?" Of course, this can be a goal we've accomplished or
something we're proud of but it can be small things too such as lending a
helping hand or simply being kind to someone, having a great conversation,
holding our tongue in anger, living in gratitude and being extremely present
that day with everyone we interacted with. The idea is to focus on success instead of failure, on
accomplishment and growth instead of stagnation. We need to retrain ourselves to look for
success, notice success, expect success, and most of all to celebrate and honor
the value we contribute every day.

Disaster Planning for the Dental Office
|
Special Extract
Sometimes bad things happen to good people. And, according to Murphy's Law, bad things also happen at the most inopportune time. The only thing you can do is to be prepared.
Consider the earthquakes in California a few years ago. Dental practices were just flattened and gone. There was little to recover; charts, chairs, computers-all gone. Hurricane Katrina resulted in a similar situation for practices in New Orleans.
Everything was destroyed. Consider the all-too-often burglary. Some of the first things to go are the computers in your practice. Days of lost production and wasted staff time add up very quickly.
Preparing for a disaster is common sense. you should put together a business continuity plan that will allow you to resume operations and access critical patient data with little delay. Unfortunately, if you're using client-server software a business continuity plan will cost a significant amount of money. Most likely your plan will require a second server, connected to your existing server, in a remote location. And then you'll need to pay someone to maintain this setup.
It is just not reasonable for a dentist to put these
resources towards the problem of making a client/server based system
sufficiently redundant to accommodate even the most minor of disasters.
With Web-based dental software your business continuity plan is instantly resolved, as far as accessing your patient data.
With a Web-based system, you don't have a server in your
office with patient data on it - your data is located on the Web. No server to
be flattened in a collapsed building, no server to be destroyed by a flood, no
server to be stolen by an intruder, no server hardware to fail, no patient data
to lose, no backup tapes to make or restore. You only have a very simple wire
to the internet.
Bad things do happen to good dental offices. Client/server
systems present risks that cannot be reasonably addressed. Appropriately
architected Web-based systems are inherently more secure and available than
client/server based systems.
