\u201cOur version of the \u2018DSO of the future\u2019 focuses on providing enhancements and investments around doctors, hygienists and staff, so they can deliver outstanding and predictable clinical outcomes and provide an exceptional patient experience,\u201d said Ward. Switching to Denticon created another opportunity for Marquee to reinvest in the clinical teams they support. \u201cWe saved money by using Denticon, and in so doing, we were able to reinvest that money into the clinical capability of dentists and hygienists we support,” explained Ward.<\/p>\n
Data [in Denticon] gives us facts to support the clinical investments we’ve made at Marquee. The clinical feedback and coaching that’s provided to doctors and hygienists has come from the facts that clinical leaders get from our reporting systems.\u00a0 – Fred Ward, CEO of Marquee Dental Partners<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Test Driving Denticon<\/h4>\n
Although Ward himself favored a move to a cloud-based solution, he wanted input from the actual users. \u201cI will tell you that the most important piece involved in our decision was the user-friendliness to the doctors and the hygienists,\u201d explained Ward<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhatever we choose, they had to embrace it, love it and be advocates for it,\u201d said Ward. With that in mind, Marquee vetted seven different practice management software options and narrowed the choices to two. Then, over a two-week period, Marquee had a subset of dentists and hygienists try out the software in what they called \u201cthe sandbox.\u201d Ward credits the doctors and hygienists for choosing Denticon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAt the end of the two-week period, each of the two platforms had a chance to present their software to the providers. “I asked what the doctors and hygienists wanted, and eight out of the nine doctors chose Denticon, seven out of eight hygienists chose Denticon,\u201d said Ward.<\/span><\/p>\nExcellent Support and Training with Denticon<\/b><\/h4>\n
\u201cWhat I was most pleased with was, first and resoundingly, doctors and hygienists wanted Denticon. Secondly, Denticon provided the support and high-touch training we needed. They were there when we needed them, which was critical to a successful rollout and an immediate adaptation to the new software.” explained Ward.<\/span><\/p>\n“Lastly, Denticon was cloud-based, unlike the other platform we considered,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\nEmpowering the DSO’s of the Future<\/b><\/h4>\n
As more dentists and even specialists are forming DSOs, they recognize the obvious benefits of being able to scale. DSOs of the future leverage technology to provide better outcomes for patients, reduce costs and streamline practice management.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe believe healthcare is local, so we stay away from centralizing so much that it removes the personalized local feel that only great teams can provide,\u201d said Ward. \u201cWe look to the future by investing in technology and clinical capabilities while leaving clinical autonomy to each doctor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nBetter Patient Care and Better Clinical Outcomes<\/b><\/h4>\n
By gathering data across numerous practices, DSOs can leverage this information to make better business decisions while enabling dentists to make even better clinical decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cData gives us facts to support the clinical investments we’ve made at Marquee. The clinical feedback and coaching that’s provided to doctors and hygienists has come from the facts that clinical leaders get from our reporting systems,\u201d said Ward. \u201cWe want to solve for the right things and make sure we\u2019re making decisions based on accurate data,” he concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2767,"template":"","categories":[1561,379],"tags":[],"content-type":[],"product":[],"class_list":["post-3148","client_stories","type-client_stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-study","category-denticon"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/client_stories\/3148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/client_stories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/client_stories"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3148"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=3148"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetdds.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=3148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
