Course Description: (Click for Show/Hide)

Most dental practices have come to realize how quickly technology has become part of everyday life in the practice. Dentistry has undergone a paradigm shift over the past 20 years where systems that were once analog (paper, film) and now being replaced by digital counterparts. Nowhere is this more evident than with practices that are trying to become completely paperless. While I don’t agree that any office can be truly paperless, eliminating the need for a physical paper chart is something that any office can achieve. The goal of this course is to discuss the sequence necessary to accomplish this goal. The challenge for most offices is to develop the best plan on how to evaluate their current and future purchases to ensure that all the systems will integrate properly together. While many dentists are visually oriented and thus tend to focus on the criteria that they can actually see and touch, some of the most important decisions are related to more abstract standards. I have therefore developed a six-point checklist that I feel is mandatory for any dentist who is adding new technologies to their office, and I recommend that each step be completed in order.
