- "According to a recent study by Triple Tree and the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA), on-demand deployments are 50 to 90 percent faster, with a total cost of ownership less than for installed software."
- "Massachusetts based Forrester Research suggests that on-demand deployments offer an economic advantage . . ."

| Classic Dental Humor

A husband and wife entered the dentist's office. The
husband said,
"I want a tooth pulled.I don't want gas or Novocain
because I'm in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible."
"You're a brave man," said the dentist.
"Now, show me which tooth it is."
The husband turns to his wife and says, "Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it
is, dear."

Adaptive Leadership: The Four Quadrants of Choice
|
Katherine Eitel  | |
Power Thought: Katherine Eitel & Associates
Imagine yourself standing outside of a box divided into four quadrants which are labeled: Lead, Follow, Change, and Get Out Of The Way. Before you make a decision, start a conversation with a co-worker, or step into a selling situation with a client, you get to decide which of these boxes you'll "lead" from. One box will be the most comfortable for you because it's likely where you've been operating from the longest, most frequently, and in which you have developed the most skill ... but all are viable and powerful leadership choices and positions. Good leaders know they have a choice and there is a perfect time for each option. Being proactively "at choice" is one of the cornerstones of great leadership. Leaders notice their current position and choose their response instead of simply blindly reacting. In my continued interview with corporate change agent, Ian McKelvie, we get a glimpse into this leadership model Ian calls The Leadership Choice. He helps us understand that being "at choice" as a leader is more important than actually "making choices." He gives a specific example of one conversation with a client where he used all four boxes, all four choices, at some point in that conversation. We even talk about how leaders stay "at choice" ... even when there is only one option. (Think Nelson Mandella in a prison cell in South Africa.) More About Katherine Eitel & Associates... |

How Your Team Can Reinforce the Treatment Plan
|
Linda Miles  | |
Power Thought: Linda Miles & Associates
Clinical team members can be very
instrumental in setting the stage for case acceptance with effective chairside
communication. After patients hear the clinical diagnoses and the dentist's
recommended treatment, they often look to the assistant or hygienist for
verification. If the staff says: "Mrs. Parker, you are making a wise decision
not to postpone your treatment as this is what can happen if you don't proceed with
treatment soon". Or, "Many of our patients were hesitant about veneers
wondering if it was wise to cover their natural teeth. After their smile was
enhanced, their only regret is that they had not done this treatment long ago".
And, "Dr. Brown is a fine dentist. I know because she is also my personal
dentist," alleviates fear and hesitation for the dentistry patients deserve.
Dentists can't toot their own horn and compliment their own skills, but having
an enthused team member makes all the difference in case acceptance!

Communicating with Dental Imaging Software: Bridge vs. Integration vs. Native
|
New Orangepaper From Curve Dental
When it comes to different dental technologies, there
appears to be some confusion over how different technologies work together. The
past 15 years have provided an amazing (almost dizzying) array of options and
acronyms and terms that are thrown around by reps of the different
technologies. There is almost no semblance of unity.
At Curve Dental, we like simple communication. As a result,
we have a specific definition for the way these different technologies work
together that we like to use when we talk to each other in the company. If you
would like, please feel free to adopt our terminology. Hopefully this document
will make it clearer; or, if not clearer, at least it's one more view to throw
into the mix.
There are 3 basic ways by which different technology
products can work together:
Let's try and define these different methods and perhaps
give a couple of examples of each.
