Going Chartless in 2008!

Wow! Where did January go? I haven't even become accustomed to writing 2008 in the date field, and we're already a month in!

The big new change at Myers Pediatric Dentistry is that we are now operating with a computer system that allows us to be chartless. We can chart, record information, treatment plan, and photograph all from the computer now. We keep pressing forward for better ways to track information, add efficiency, and add value to our services and this is just the latest development.

In the short run, however, it does just the opposite. We are troubleshooting so many minor issues and developing new systems built around the power of the computer system. I am so not the IT whiz, and I know we are in trouble when I am handling all the glitches and network problems throughout the day. We are still in the process of sorting out the glitches, but we are very lucky to have such understanding, excited patients and parents as well as a very flexible and tolerant staff.

So if you are reading this and you are a patient, have one of us show off our new technology next time you are in for a visit. And if you are reading this and you are not yet a patient, I can't wait to show you how cool our new programs work together to make sure you get in and out on time and how we take care to prepare you and your child for a lifetime of cavity free living and easy dental visits. :)
