Why is the Right Data so Elusive in Dental?
Your practice management software knows exactly how many patients you've seen and what care you've provided, so why is it so hard for dental groups to get access to the data they need for strategic decision making?

The technology in dentistry was built on the backbone of practice management systems that were built to support a single dental office. Yet in today’s environment where groups of practices and DSOs continue to emerge, those single office systems are becoming one of the primary constraints to running multiple dental practices effectively.
When we add the fact that some practice management software platforms still do not allow dental groups to gain direct access to the data in the systems they have created, we can quickly understand why dental data can be so frustrating and expensive!
Yes, there are ways around these issues, but the costs can quickly become prohibitive.
The best way to solve this includes three simple steps.
Ensure your practice management software allows access to the data you need.
Engage a database administrator to set up a modern data warehouse to capture and warehouse your data.
Design and program reports with the data you need to auto generate from your data warehouse.
