Not sure what the cloud is exactly, or how cloud-based clinic management could enhance your dental practice?
As technological advancements accelerate, it has become essential for dentists to keep pace. One of the fundamental shifts in healthcare has been moving from paper-based systems to digital storage. For dentists, the best solution is to migrate clinic management and daily operations to the cloud.
Accenture Consulting's 2018 Consumer Survey on Digital Health revealed that consumers are placing increasing importance on the use of technology in healthcare. 36% of survey respondents mentioned that the technology used by the organisations they engage with is significant to them. We've compiled 8 reasons why you and your clinic should embrace this digital transformation and be part of the innovation.
Cloud applications can be easily accessed by logging into a web portal. You can communicate with your team or update your patients' appointment schedules anytime, even outside the clinic. Having the convenience of accessing your clinic from anywhere and at any time enhances functionality and helps promote innovation.
If you're worried about the financial burden of transitioning to a cloud-based system, you're not alone. Many companies have concerns about costs when moving to a cloud-based system. However, with a cloud-based system, there is no need for expensive and complex servers. All Medicasimple users need is an internet or mobile data connection. With a cloud-based system, you can connect with any tool or application you desire, and you can use the cloud-based system simply by downloading a browser.
Research shows that 52% of data breaches are due to "general carelessness" by people. When dealing with patient data, the risk of human error is high. A cloud-based dental clinic system helps prevent errors and securely stores your data without the need for a server. It also protects against risks such as hardware failure and data loss due to theft.
With a cloud-based system, there is no limitation on the number of computers that can be used. Whether you're in the dental clinic or working remotely, you can use the cloud-based system from as many computers as you like. The ease of use with a cloud-based system allows you to connect with your team seamlessly, without any restrictions.
A cloud-based system gives you the freedom to use any operating system you prefer. It works with both Windows and iOS operating systems, so there's no need to choose between them.
Cloud data backup can be set to operate on demand or automatically multiple times throughout the day if you prefer. All of this is done through advanced automated procedures. We also test the backups for you, ensuring daily data management is maintained, thereby minimising data loss. Backed-up data can be shared among multiple cloud users within the clinic.
Medicasimple continually performs daily system updates. These micro-updates aim to enhance the features and functionality of our system. To benefit from our daily updates, all you need to do is refresh your browser. No need to restart, no downtime, and no hassle.
We know your patients are your top priority. That’s why we offer you new features to improve patient communication. Patients can now fill in forms online to share their information with you. The data from the forms is automatically entered into the patient’s digital health record. This significantly reduces the time spent entering and updating patient information.
If you’re looking to reduce your IT costs and easily manage your billing and appointments, the solution is a cloud-based system. We recommend reading our other articles on cloud-based systems.
