PatientTracker software to help streamline dental offices

April 22, 2004
For the first time, dental office staff can conduct multiple patient management tasks through a single software program.

PatientTracker, Inc. has announced the release of PatientTracker, a revolutionary computer software program designed to assist dental clinics with the management of patient information and ensure an efficient and smooth operation within dental offices.
PatientTracker will be available for $699 at www.patient-tracker.com.

For the first time, dental office staff can conduct multiple patient management tasks through a single software program. Among PatientTracker's capabilities are: track the location and waiting time of patients in up to 20 operatories; prioritize patients based on specific needs; automatically page any required healthcare professionals; and, alert staff to their next destination.

Also serving as a virtual message center by enabling staff to send and receive intra-office messages, PatientTracker can eliminate clutter and improve communication, allowing for a more functional workplace. Simple to install and intuitive to use, the program integrates easy-to-navigate screens with illustrative graphics. PatientTracker can be operated by all members of the office staff and is functional in any room equipped with a PC. A free, fully functional trial version is available at www.patient-tracker.com.

The PatientTracker software was initially conceived by practicing dentist Dr. Ken Lagergren in response to the outdated standard paging system used in most dental offices. "Today's healthcare offices are extremely busy and require instantaneous communication and first-rate organization. Existing lighted paging systems are ineffective, because they cannot handle multiple messages or allow intra-office communications." said Dr. Lagergren. "PatientTracker fills those voids by presenting instantly updated and detailed information that is available to all staff members at a glance."
