Looking for a way to speed up the flow of office operations, cut down overhead costs, and create happy patients? Digital patient intake forms have made their mark by transforming how dental offices operate. Typical intake processes rely heavily on staff multitasking, which are prone to human errors and patient frustration.
Scaling up your patient intake process involves switching to paperless solutions that automate front office operations, empowering staff with autonomy, and providing patients with remote self-serve options. From eliminating insurance woes to patients completing forms from home, paperless intake processes are the top solution your dental practice can’t do without.
