99.95% Uptime Guaranteed.
Can Your Server Do that?
At Curve Dental we receive at least one or two calls a week from furious doctors. What are they fuming about? Their servers crashed and they've had enough. They've seen our advertisements and they're looking for help. And fortunately we can help.
We guarantee 99.95% uptime of our system, which may be far better than the server sitting in the broom closet in your practice. Sure, some doctors never have any trouble and they can give kudos to their IT guy (who must be a rockstar) and their lucky stars. Our guarantee means that if our systems our down for more than 3 hours or so we'll refund your monthly subscription.
Guaranteed uptime is only one advantage of moving your practice to the Web. See all 10 1/2 reasons or call our eager-beaver dental sales experts at 888-910-4376 for more information. |  |

Howard Farran's Case for the Cloud in Dentistry
|
 | | Howard Farran, DDS |
|
Power Thought: DentalTown
In the May 2011 issue of DentalTown, the legendary founder of the DenalTown community, Dr. Howard Farran, spent two full pages discussing the benefits of the cloud within the dental practice.
"The current micro-computing business model is going to expire because of the cloud, eliminating costly upgrades and repairs to your practice management software," says Dr. Farran. "Right now you can run your entire practice management system on the Internet. You don't need a server. You don't need IT."
In a DentalTown exclusive interview with with editor, Ben Lund, Dr. Farran dives deeper into the benefits of the cloud for the general practitioner, from backups to upgrades to safer data. "I hear of a doctor losing their data every week when I lecture. They're backing up to a disk, and then the disk won't restore. Or they give their backup to their IT guy and they can't make anything of it. You need to make sure that not only are you backing up but also that you can install the backup."
"When you went to dental school, how many classes did you take on computer backup? I don't want to be responsible for my servers. I'd rather jump on the cloud and take care of my patients, worry free," says Dr. Farran.

Be Happy or Be Gone
|
 | | Linda Miles |

Power Thought: Miles Global
Happy employees are productive. And if an employee becomes dis-enchanted for whatever reason, they not only become much less productive, they also negatively impact the office morale. There can be dozens of reasons for burnout. The underlying message of the sign in our corporate office was that an employee could work at LLM&A as long as the company and their position in it made them happy. The minute they felt burned out or disenchanted we met with the employee that felt like leaving to see if it could be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Professional burnout is a serious and more common problem in dentistry than we would like to admit. I recently had the privilege of corresponding with a dental team member who shared with me her innermost thoughts about this very subject. "Being happy at work is ultimately determined by the quality of relationships that one develops with patients, staff, and colleagues. Getting along with co-workers, as well as employers, especially in a large office is a challenge, and sometimes, due to lack of communication skills, misunderstandings, or unresolved conflicts, the only answer is to find another position that better suits your needs. Having had the experience recently of leaving an office, I am now keenly aware of how important it is to recognize when it is time to go. Fear of change can make you sit in your rut for too long, and the damaging affects can take their toll. I felt unappreciated and lacked support from my employer in trying to work things out. Leaving, though it was painful, was the best decision I have ever made. When I finally left that environment, I felt like the weight of the world fell off my shoulders. I now have a new job in a smaller office. Feeling respected and appreciated is worth its weight in gold. I also have learned that I need to make an effort to show my appreciation to them as well. Unresolved conflicts infect relationships to the point that they sap energy and take your joy away. Staying positive and believing in yourself will get you through this. It will be worth it in the end." More About Miles Global... |
