It is a truism that in business, if you are not going forward, then you are going backwards. Sitting still is not an option if you want your practice to succeed and to thrive. 

If your Practice Management Software isn’t directly helping to improve efficiency & drive down costs across your Clinic, then what exactly is it doing? In an ever-changing world of technology, keeping up to date with the latest software and the widest functionality can mean the difference between actively saving time & money every single day, or not. 

Many practice management systems now offer a Patient Portal as a key feature, and the terminology has become well and truly embedded in the clinical and dental sectors. But what does it actually mean? What is a Patient Portal and how might it actually help you in the day to day operation of your practice? 

Remote working has become normalised across many sectors in the last two years, but in a hands-on, face to face, sector such as dental & clinical practice reducing contact can be challenging. 

Your choice of Practice Management Software is absolutely critical to the success and growth of your business. You and your team will be spending up to eight hours a day logged into the system and using it to run and monitor many of the core tasks that your practice performs all day, every day - so it needs to be a real friend to all of you! 

For any dentist, bookings are business. Without easy access to your services, your patients will go elsewhere to get their needs met. In today’s world easy access means online and automated - without the need to try and get through on a busy phone line and scribble times and dates on a piece of paper, hoping that they have remembered them properly. 

Conferences can offer companies a unique platform to publicise their product or service, gain exposure and interact with potential distributors, leads or buyers. Dental conferences are the perfect opportunity to see emerging trends in the industry, discuss industry challenges and upskill by taking part in lectures or seminars. Some leading conferences even offer the opportunity to gain enhanced CPD.

Going paperless seems like a classic no-brainer for any Clinic or business at first glance. Anything that can save you time and money has to be good, doesn’t it? Yet despite this, many Clinics still feel reluctant to let go of their tried and tested paper-based systems and fully embrace their digital transformation.

A Patient Portal is a key weapon in any modern Clinic’s armoury for patient engagement and retention, business growth and efficiency. A well designed Portal will make your day to day patient management easier and streamline business functions across your team.
