Problem
A community health center with more than 150 years of service to residents of Boston sought a healthcare IT partner to help deliver high-quality and affordable dental care to its patients.
Solution
The Dimock Center implemented the eClinicalWorks Electronic Dental Record (EDR), replacing their paper records with a comprehensive solution for appointment booking, exams, periocharting, and Patient Engagement.
Results
Following implementation of the eClinicalWorks EDR, the Dimock Center saw improved workflows and much greater efficiency. Dental and medical records are integrated throughout the health center. Dimock was able to serve approximately 8% more dental patients because of improved efficiency.
