In this blog, we will delve into different aspects of the onboarding process and general practice life to discuss how Dentally has expedited processes for these practices. 

Clinical excellence at your fingertips 

When it's time for patients to enter the treatment room, Dentally speeds things up from a clinical perspective. Our cloud-enabled software ensures you have the most recent information about the patient at your fingertips when you need it. Treatment history can be easily located, making it seamless for Dentists to access patient charts.  

Our built-in tools help make surgery more about the patient and less about the time spent on notes and admin. Let's explore some of the tools you can use to enhance your clinical excellence and your overall patient journey;  

• Clinical notes - Writing notes can be a time-consuming part of any surgery experience. With Dentally you can template your most used clinical notes making it easy to add only the patient-specific information each time.    

• Quick charting and pre-charted plans - As part of Dentally’s commitment to helping you deliver a seamless patient experience; we have created simple and easy-to-use tools. By using hover charting and pre-charted treatment plans you can free up surgery time to spend talking too and educating your patients.   

• Electronic treatment and consent forms -Dentally iPad allows your patients to sign and update, consent and treatment forms, medical forms, and patient details, all from the chair. No need to be wasteful with printing or lose time by sending patients back to reception. Everything can now be done in one place.   

Onboarding 

Initially, practice managers Rabia Puri and Jass Dosanjh were concerned about how time-consuming the onboarding process would be, and how long it would take for their teams to adapt. However, they were pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. The process required no physical servers, which was a relief compared to their previous paper-based systems, and their teams learnt quickly and smoothly. 

“The team picked it up quickly, even those who have been working part-time, the onboarding has been a good experience.”

On top of this, support is guaranteed. The Dentally team were always happy to jump on a call with either practice to talk them through any processes or address any questions, big or small.
