Pediatric dental offices know that when it comes to products used during patient treatment, one size does not fit all. What they may not realize, however, is that the same applies to services they use to run the practice, including practice management software.
Recognizing that pediatric offices require workflows designed for a fast-paced, kid-centered environment, practice management software provider XLDent designed the XLDent Pedo Suite to improve efficiency and productivity. Specific features available in XLDent Pedo are designed to move the patient through the treatment process more quickly and efficiently. Here’s how:
Pre-Treatment
As dental patients, kids aren’t always the most, well, patient. Whether they’re upset or nervous to be in the dental chair or not able to sit for very long, it’s not practical to ask patients and preoccupied parents/guardians to wait while the staff sorts through the patient chart for relevant information.
XLDent Pedo has an intuitive design and organization for paperless, wireless efficiency. Flexible pediatric dentition charts and interactive sorting, filtering, and grouping of data improve access to the most relevant information for patient education and case acceptance. Kids and adults alike are visual learners. XLDent Pedo provides the tools necessary to show pictures and explain good oral hygiene to kids in a non-threatening way, and clinicians can then ask for parent treatment consent and signatures all on the same device.
Post-Treatment
Working quickly during treatment is important, but so is the office’s ability to send patients and families on their way. XLDent Pedo offers both cloud- and server-based options that suit the needs of each practice. For multisite practices, XLDent Pedo allows offices to easily connect and manage multiple locations, as well as to join multiple specialties. Referral tracking and customizable communications add an additional layer of accountability.
Keep in mind that XLDent Pedo is just one workflow specialty in XLDent’s software, which at its core has many helpful features. XLChart is the innovative treatment chart that allows for all information to be displayed on one screen for easy viewing; ImageXL stores images from any digital imaging device and integrates them seamlessly to each patient’s chart; and XLNotify helps to facilitate interoffice communication with instant messaging so as not to disrupt treatment.
XLDent can also help streamline workflow before patients arrive, with features like XLCheckIn, which facilitates patient check in and form completion via a tablet PC, and XLPortal, which provides secure Internet-based access to information patients and dentists want.
