#16: You will never hear the words "data rebuild" with Web-based dental software
You're a dentist, for crying out loud, not a computer scientist! Why, then, do client-server applications make you or your team wade through the muck of a database rebuild every so often? With Web-based dental software keeping the database crisp and clean is the software provider's responsibility, not yours. You don't expect us to help you prep a crown on #31; we don't expect you to rebuild the database. To learn more call us at 888-910-4376.

Two Sure-fire Ways to Get New Patients
|
Linda Miles  | |
Power Thought: Linda Miles & Associates
No. 1: TOOTHBRUSH EXCHANGE
Ask your local bank, drugstore or
mall (if you can) and publicize a TOOTHBRUSH EXCHANGE DAY in eight weeks. For the person
who brings in the UGLIEST toothbrush, they will win a prize (could be a gift
certificate toward dentistry in your practice or a gift card from the store
that lets you use their sidewalk or lobby). Every person who brings an old
toothbrush receives a gift bag with a new toothbrush, floss, lip balm and a
card from your practice with this note: "If you don't have a personal dentist,
we invite you to join our family of fine patients."
No. 2: LOCAL BUSINESS VISITS
Make a list of ten companies within
a five mile radius of your practice. Personally (doctors) deliver a lovely basket
of food goodies and a thank you card to the H/R department of that company.
Introduce yourself and thank the personnel manager or whoever you talk with for
answering questions from your insurance coordinator over the past several years
(months). Let that person know you see several (many) patients from their
company. Compliment them for having a dental benefit plan. Offer to have you
(your insurance coordinator) come and explain in 10-15 minutes the clinical
dialogue of their plan at their next employee meeting. H/R departments receive
little recognition in their daily work. Wonder who they will think of dentist-wise
when a new employee asks if they know a great family dentist!

Why the Web is the Perfect Disaster Planning Solution for the Dental Office
|
Floor, hurricane, tornado, fire, theft--Is your practice prepared?  | |
Whitepaper Summary
Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Unfortunately,
according to Murphy's Law, it will also happen at the most inopportune time and
at a maximum cost. There really isn't much you can do to stop it. Bad things do
happen - even to good people. What you can do is prepare for it.
Sometimes bad things happen on a geographic scale. Consider
the earthquakes in California a couple years back. There were dental and
medical offices that were totally flattened. There was nothing left to salvage
in the practice - just rubble.
Sometimes the catastrophe will be more local. It is not uncommon for a burglary to greatly disrupt a
dental or medical office routine. An office manager arrives in the morning to
find the door broken open and the place a mess. Papers scattered on the floor
can be cleaned up fairly easily, the stolen computer can also be replaced. But
the information on it might very well be a different story.
Preparation is the key. Preparing for a disaster just makes sense. As the saying
goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
Consider a Web-Based alternative to dental software. 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.
Conclusion. 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.
