Dental Electronic Records Lag Behind:

Here is a link to a recent article I wrote for Medscape.

Current products may do a fine job of creating a digital dental chart. However, these dental chart data are often confined to the specific dental office in which the data are stored. This creates a challenge for multiple offices. Current products make it difficult, if not impossible, to transfer data to another office, even if the other office is using the same PMS. In addition, data cannot be imported into the PMS from an outside source.
