Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Digital technologies are gaining wider acceptance within the medical and dental professions. The lure of increased productivity and improved quality entice practices to adapt. These systems are beginning to have a profound impact on the workflows within the practice, as well as putting new demands on existing resources. To successfully implement a new technology within your practice, you must look beyond advertising and discover the real requirements of the system. Vendors rarely try to help beyond the sale and installation of their equipment, nor do they consider how their product might require you to modify the way you and your staff work. Acquiring the necessary knowledge through self-education, a consultant, or (preferably) a combination of the two is the best way to integrate a new technology with your practice.
