The problems associated with specialty consultations can be a thing of the past with Experience Dentistry® . Many times we lose the patients' interest and commitment to proceeding with treatment because of the delay associated with a necessary consultation with a specialist. This will not negate the need for personal observation and examination. But the simple treatment question, or delays (and cost) associated with letter writing and mailing of x-rays and photographs can now be avoided. Your office is the administrator and can enroll other dental offices and as such allow them to access the mutual patient files. Therefore, once the patients' file is uploaded to the Experience Dentistry® server you can send an e-mail notification to a specialist who can review the information, and send a reply. Ideally the specialty office is also an Experience Dentistry® client. Once they have seen the patient for an examination, their treatment letter and recommendations can be directly uploaded to the ED ® site. Once there, the referring dentist and the patient and/or the specialist can review all of the information from both offices, work out the details of the treatment together, settle on a best course of care and agree to proceed. Clean lines of communication unencumbered by lag time and misunderstandings open up avenues for completing necessary treatment, efficiently and in an effective time frame.
