The Benefits of a Paperless Practice

Cost Benefits

Going paperless helps reduce or eliminate many of the indirect costs that come with keeping paper copies of dental records. You will save on your valuable real estate, cut back on labor costs, and minimize supply costs.

Productivity Benefits

Paperless dental offices streamline many of the time-consuming tasks that come with paper copies, such as filing and tracking down charts if they become lost. You can enjoy fast access to digital files and search with a simple keyword. This way, you will also never misplace your records.

Security Benefits

Using electronic dental records provides dual benefits with protection from breaches as well as environmental damage. It’s easier to backup records and if you need off-site storage, your records will be climate-controlled and fire and flood-proof. Another feature is encryption to protect from external threats.
