Control Your Practice, and Your Future
Today’s independent practices may get by with paper patient records and aging financial systems, but tomorrow’s won’t. To retain
control of your practice and your future, you’ll need an integrated financial and clinical management system. But putting a new system
in place can be expensive, risky and disruptive – and take more than just installing software.
ALN can help. We understand your concerns about technology and will work with you to manage them. The lifecycle of information
technology (IT) is a complex journey. Setting the right strategy, picking the right software, staying on top of the hardware and internet
components, managing implementation, providing ongoing support and maintenance, and finding the best way to pay for it are all parts
of bringing your practice to the new technology-enabled reality. Together we’ll equip your practice with simple, efficient processes and
integrated systems that will help you improve patient care and increase revenue, while reducing complexity and minimizing risk.
