Signs when to upgrade your practice management financial system!
The accuracy of financial data is crucial during the preparation process, requiring attention to detail and thorough checking to ensure that the information being handled is correct.
Inaccurate information can lead to unwanted income audits, misreported accounts receivable, incorrect case structure planning, or flawed budget and cost estimates. This will result in negative outcomes for the dental practice.
When choosing to implement your Dental Practice’s first-ever Financial and HR system, it is normal to go for something that does the basics very well, for a low monthly fee. However, as your business expands and your responsibilities and budget grow as well, there will likely come a point when it is worth investing in a more sophisticated Financial, HR, and compliance management system.
1) If your organisation is growing
As your business starts to grow and does financially well for itself, you will likely be employing more staff such as hygienists and dentists. Taking on lots of new members of staff in a short space of time can be tough for your administration teams – particularly if your company hasn’t expanded to keep up. You will be juggling tasks, which will be more heavy-going, too, as a result of the rising number of employees to look after.
If this is the case, then it might be time to use the Dental Professional Portal (DPP) which can help carry some of this workload and burden. DPP will give you a holistic view of your organisation’s complete operation.
