Since the pandemic, internet usage has seen the largest increase in the past decade (10.2%), while mobile app usage has also benefited from this surge, showing a 40% increase. Similarly, in the healthcare sector, using mobile apps is like harnessing the winds of technology for dental clinics.
At Medicasimple, we work tirelessly to assist dental clinics in integrating with technology, helping them save time on simple tasks in this era where paper is giving way to digital. In this article, we’ll discuss the advantages of having a mobile app for dental clinics.
One of the greatest benefits of technology is undoubtedly the ability to manage tasks whenever and wherever you have internet access. With the Medicasimple mobile app, whether you're on holiday, at home, visiting relatives, or in a meeting, you can stay informed about developments at your clinic, check patient records, assign tasks to your staff, and manage your clinic remotely from your phone.
The widespread use of mobile phones has turned mobile access to patient and appointment records into a significant advantage for dental clinics. Not every doctor, secretary, or intern may have a computer. The Medicasimple mobile app allows these tasks to be completed via phone in such cases. This eliminates the need for every staff member to have a computer, reducing costs, while also making access easier and ensuring all staff can carry out their tasks using the clinic management system.
Using a mobile app in clinics is akin to switching from wired to Bluetooth headphones or upgrading your phone to the latest model. At first, there might be some hesitation, but the convenience becomes clear once you start using it. Although there was once scepticism, today, almost every healthcare institution uses technological devices:
In clinics, there is a hybrid system with both stationary and mobile elements, and the staff is highly mobile due to the nature of their work. Instant access to data by everyone is essential, and being able to access it not just from computers but also from mobile devices contributes to the momentum of healthcare teams.
Both clinic managers and doctors, interns, and secretarial staff can carry out their work via the Medicasimple mobile app. Managers can assign tasks with a single tap at any time from their pockets. Doctors can view their appointments, stay informed about the workload, and monitor their patients' conditions. This way, the entire clinic operates in harmony, with everyone knowing what they’ve done and what they need to do, all organised neatly on a single interface.
Additionally, in the event of a dispute or uncertainty within the clinic, you can easily check automatically recorded data in real-time. One of the biggest issues with paper records is the loss of documents and the difficulty of quickly finding a specific record. These problems are a thing of the past with mobile apps that use cloud technology. With Medicasimple software, any word related to a patient or appointment you need to search for can be found instantly thanks to the advanced search optimisation when entered into the search bar.
The ability to perform tasks on mobile that could be done on a computer saves clinics a lot of hassle. After downloading the Medicasimple app on their smartphones, all authorised clinic staff can register patients. Additionally, tasks can be assigned within the clinic, appointments can be scheduled for doctors, or an existing appointment can be cancelled.
In the past, the secretariat used to send the doctors a photo of the next day’s appointments every evening. Similarly, doctors were informed of changes in their relevant appointments through manual methods. Today, however, with mobile app notifications, they can see relevant updates in detail instantly and, if forgotten, recall them from the notification history.
Furthermore, clinic management software allows for online appointment monitoring and detailed analysis of cancelled or postponed appointments. Financially, many features such as adding payments and entering payments are at the fingertips of the clinic staff.
The Medicasimple mobile app allows your patients to book appointments, make payments, ask questions, and leave feedback via their phones. Additionally, our app will provide patients with instant notifications about important information such as last-minute available appointments. The convenience with which patients can handle their transactions will make your clinic their favourite, and with the Medicasimple clinic management system, you can comfortably fill your patient chairs.
When patients see that your clinic is integrated with technology, they will feel at ease, knowing there is little to no risk of human error or negligence, such as from workload or forgetfulness. At Medicasimple, we understand how important it is to earn patient trust, and we work hard to help you achieve that.
