Automated analytics can reveal revenue opportunities, help you improve care.

If you’re not monitoring patient analytics such as available insurance coverage, you may miss opportunities to provide better care and increase revenue. But manually keeping track of the data you need is an overwhelming job.

Technology that integrates with your practice management software can pull the information for you in near real time.

The solution should offer easy-to-access, automated reports based on your goals, and track key practice performance metrics. A robust analytics dashboard can even:

• Identify patients in need of procedures or with unscheduled treatments

• Reveal untapped insurance revenue, i.e., identify patients who have insurance that will at least partially cover those needed procedures

With this information, your team can confidently book appointments with patients before they leave your office—and increase acceptance of treatment plans without post-visit communications. An analytics dashboard can also maximize your staff’s time by:

• Including staff prompts and functionality to close treatment plans

• Highlighting scheduled patients that have open AR to be collected

These features will streamline your team’s workflow and untie them from handling increasingly complex insurance verifications and scheduling patients over the phone.

HIPAA-compliant email ensures security and protects PHI.

Setting your practice up with fully HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based email is critical. This is different from providers like Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail; even though some have a few HIPAA-compliant qualities like encryption.

A fully HIPAA-compliant email service will protect your patient data and practice from cybercriminals and enable you to meet the requirement to ensure data security and privacy as you:

• Store and share electronic health records

• Collaborate and refer with other dental or health professionals

• Securely communicate with your patients

You want an email service built on HIPAA compliance with added security to prevent your inbox from receiving spam or phishing emails. Look for an email service that:

• Transmits across a private encrypted network with end-to-end encryption

• Encrypts email in transit and ‘at rest’ in your inbox

• Meets all required HIPAA technical safeguards

Also look for practical features that will increase efficiency:

• Provides a broad referral network

• Enables you to send large files and images without file-size restrictions or limits on the number of attachments.

With all the demands placed on dentists, practice managers, and the entire team, it’s critical to leverage every available tool to improve and simplify dental practice management. A digital transformation is a paradigm shift that could substantially secure and boost your revenue streams.
