Dublin, Ohio (PRWEB) August 11, 2016 -- Updox, the industry leader for care coordination and healthcare customer relationship management (CRM) solutions, announced its platform is now certified as a Dentrix Connected solution. With this certification, the Updox for Dentrix care coordination suite is integrated into the market-leading practice management system by Henry Schein, Inc., used by more than 35,000 dental practices across the country.
Updox for Dentrix offers dentists and practices running Dentrix G6 a cohesive suite of services that puts them at the center of coordinated care and gives the opportunity to focus more on patients and less on managing multiple platforms. Updox enables practices to lower costs, increase revenue, improve workflow, maximize staff time and increase efficiencies, with solutions that include:
• Direct secure email to expand referral networks and securely exchange personal health information with other providers via our HIPAA-compliant email channel.
• Patient Portal for an enhanced patient experience with an easily implemented and cost-effective patient portal for complete patient engagement that transforms the way practices communicate.
• Appointment Reminders to maintain full practice schedules with customized phone/text/email reminders that reduce no-shows by at least 20% and allow practices to backfill cancelled appointments for increased practice revenue and workflow.
• Integrated Electronic Fax through a web-based paperless solution that lets practices cut costs for paper, toner, phone lines and hardware. Practices can collect, review, sign, edit and route faxes and send directly into the Dentrix patient chart, thanks to seamless integration with Dentrix.
“As a certified Dentrix Connected solution, Updox offers a cohesive care coordination suite from a single vendor to help practices focus more on patients and less on time-intensive administrative functions that require multiple platforms,” said Michael Morgan, chief executive officer, Updox. “As care shifts to become more patient centric and focused on improving outcomes while reducing costs, care coordination is key across the entire healthcare ecosystem, which requires everyone to be connected.”
With the benefits that Updox offers, practice staff aren’t spending hours on the phone, calling patients about upcoming appointments or rescheduling them. There’s no more standing around a fax machine waiting for a busy signal to end. Patients can email questions via the portal and those questions can be answered from the practice’s universal inbox which can be accessed in the office or from a mobile device.
More than 3,000 Dentrix Enterprise customers already use Updox to advance their practices. Now, Updox solutions are available in an easy, integrated component to Dentrix customers.
“With a Dentrix Connected version of Updox, Dentrix users can realize the benefits of efficiency, lower costs and patient engagement that Updox offers,” said Kevin Bunker, president, Henry Schein Practice Solutions. “Running Updox on Dentrix means both solutions will work together as an integrated Dentrix solution, which will speed up the digital workflow of the practice.”
