Dr. Schreiber at Miracle Hills Animal Hospital contacted us with a question - "Can I import pictures into Metron dental study?"

We said "YES" - with a digital camera, you can connect the camera to the Metron computer and click the File Import button.   

Dr. Schreiber next asked - "Can I use my iPhone or iPad to take the pictures and then through the network somehow just push them into the Metron study that I am collecting X-Rays for that same patient?"

We said "YES" with our new 7.20 "Auto-Import" feature, Metron can monitor a folder and offer to auto-import any images/photos that reside in that folder.  

Adding to the solution, we helped the doctor setup a Dropbox cloud folder on his iPad and the same Dropbox cloud folder on his Metron computer.  With that completed, he now can snap a dental picture with his iPad and minutes later that picture is flashing for import into the active patient study on the Metron screen. It's automatic! No additional steps required!

Dr. Schreiber said to us that as a business goal, he is continuously elevating the client experience. Using real case visual illustration as part of the patient treatment plan and post-care presentation is critical to that goal.  Included in his process, the doctor presents computer screen images as well as printed copy using photo postcards and the Metron Report writer. The dental photos present valuable before and after treatment illustration.  

Right from the start, Dr. Schreiber was eager to describe what he wanted to accomplish.  But when we had a potential solution, he got very excited because his goal was suddenly attainable.

Do you have a goal that needs a technical solution to help reach that goal?   Give us a call, we might have a technical solution or we may have to create a new solution. Our new Auto-Import feature in Metron 7.20 exists in Metron today because someone had a goal and needed a solution to a problem.
