1. Keep an eye on physical hardware set-up for dental practices
Dental practices have a wide variety of physical equipment that requires to be set up on their PMS systems, such as digital X-ray machines and CAD/CAM equipment. It can be a significant waste of effort, time, and money to discover this only after you’ve hired an unexperienced software provider and paid for their unimportant services. So, it is always important to make sure you’re working with an experienced software provider, which can offer custom software solutions for your specific requirements.
2. Knowledge of dental software integration & support
It’s also important to ensure that your software provider has enough experience with a wide variety of dental practice management software platforms. Most importantly, you should ask them if they have experience with the specific practice management software your practice uses. If your software is outdated, then the software provider should be able to recommend or explain what steps to take to upgrade your software.
Note: Your software provider should be able to confidently build custom software solutions without creating excessive downtime that impacts your day-to-day dental practice activities or risks the loss of relevant patient information.
3. Upgrade with the technology to scale and grow your dental practice
Technology has changed substantially, and it’s certain to continue evolving in the coming years for sure. Dental practices should continue keeping up with changes in practice management software and equipment technology.
