Managing a dental practice is a challenge, but add multiple locations to the mix, and the challenge grows exponentially. From patient scheduling and clinical records to billing, reporting, and team coordination, it’s not easy to maintain consistency and oversight across so many moving parts. Even for single offices, a practice management system that limits access to critical information can create inefficiencies and cause headaches for staff and patients.
Fuse software from Patterson Dental leverages the power of cloud computing to keep practices connected and running smoothly, regardless of their size. By affording on-demand access to all practice data, Fuse is a modern practice management solution that provides the infrastructure dental teams need to work together seamlessly.
Centralized Data
Take, for example, the case of Shaun Janvier, DMD, who sought a cloud-based software for his single-location practice in Maine. He wanted integrated imaging, improved eServices for claims and other tasks, and a solution that worked hand in hand with his patient engagement platform, RevenueWell.
Fuse addressed those needs and more, creating what he described as a “logical clinical workflow” with software that’s faster than the server-based system he was using. “It has an intuitive design and is terrific for treatment planning,” Dr. Janvier said. “I love Patterson’s Fuse!”
As a cloud-based software platform, Fuse centralizes and automatically updates data for the entire practice in one secure, shared system. Not only does this streamline communication and workflow practice-wide, but it also eliminates the risk of losing data due to hardware failure.
Smart, Streamlined Reporting
Obtaining an accurate picture of practice performance usually involves the time-consuming task of cross-referencing reports from various sources, but Fuse offers a better way. Smart Screens pull and filter information from every location, delivering instant, actionable snapshots of production, insurance claims, and other KPIs.
And since metrics are consistent across locations, measuring whole-practice performance becomes straightforward, allowing leadership to make more impactful, data-driven decisions.
Fuse’s Clinical Timeline combines health history, treatment plans, images, and more on a single overview page, so clinicians can get a full understanding of the patient story at a glance and make the most out of every appointment.
Built-In Training & Support
Practices concerned about integration and onboarding will be glad to know that Fuse turns the experience into an easy, intuitive process. Patterson Dental’s Technology Advisors are available to provide comprehensive training to new users, while the software’s built-in WalkMe tool offers step-by-step guidance whenever staff members need a refresher.
And whether it’s a quick remote fix or a question about specific software features or training, live support from a Patterson expert is always just a chat or phone call away.
