Get Closer to Your Patients With Web and Mobile Appointment Booking!

Your patients are your most valuable asset. Progident/Clinic now allows you to get closer to them by setting up an appointment via the Web and their mobile devices.

But the leverage of the new functionality doesn't stop there. It also allows any new patient to register for your service and make an appointment at your clinic.

When a patient books their first appointment online, a patient record is automatically added to your database. Therefore, the new functionality of Progident/Clinic also acts as a platform for the proactive recruitment of new patients.

Online appointment booking is not a newcomer to the web world. Indeed, several organizations already offer, via their website, the possibility of sending appointment requests by email. Subsequently, these organizations must immediately reconnect with the patient to schedule and make the actual appointment.

Progident's approach goes further because appointment booking is dynamically integrated into your internal management. In other words, the need to immediately reconnect with your patient can be eliminated. Putting it more simply:

A patient makes an appointment using his mobile phone, and the appointment appears in your current agenda, quite simply! This new appointment is then integrated, like all the others, into your process of periodically confirming appointments by email and SMS.

Obviously, although possible, it is usually undesirable to leave your schedule under your patients' control by letting them make appointments whenever they want.

Progident/Clinic, therefore, provides all the configuration mechanisms required to allow you to precisely define what each professional wishes to open as available on the Web:

• the periods of availability (dates);
• the days of availability;
• the possible time slots;
• the type of treatment available.

A basic use could, for example, target a historically less busy period to allow appointments to be made for a given service.

A true multi-branch platform, the online appointment booking of Progident also allows patients to choose the branch they wish to go to for their appointment. Do you operate as a banner? This new functionality centralizes appointment booking for your clientele while rigorously redirecting and separating the appointments seen by each of your branches.

In terms of its deployment, Progident's web appointment booking can fit into your daily management in different ways:

• Completely autonomous, by communicating the web address directly to a patient;
• Via an option integrated into your clinic's website;
• Via the use of the Progident Patient Web portal, which can itself be integrated into your website via a "My file" option;
• Via an integration into the message of batch reminders.

Free up value-added time for your patients and get closer to them thanks to this new possibility of Progident/Clinic! For more information or a free demonstration, contact a Progident representative now!

Manage Your Dental Practice Expertly!

Your Virtual Clinic
Thanks to the Patient Web Portal, your patients can consult their personal file online in a secure environment. They can see their next appointment there and confirm their follow-ups, an option that reduces the workload of your team.

An Agenda to Your Liking
Progident does not impose parameterization limits to offer you all the freedom you could wish for in your agenda. A "Kanban" type console is also integrated into the software to provide you with a global vision of your clinic in terms of your patients and professionals' progress for the active day at all times. As a bonus, the professional can consult his schedule on his mobile phone at any time!

One-Step Invoicing
Our Progident/Clinic software is fully integrated with our Progident/Finance accounting software, which includes financial statements, supplier management with EDI payment, and more. What you invoice in Progident/Clinic is automatically entered into Progident/Finance. Moreover, thanks to the combined billing of Progident, you can transfer an insurance balance to a patient balance in one click with the new simplified history work window.

Productive and Efficient Communications
Stop wasting time moving between rooms to communicate with others. You can use the integrated messaging system to communicate quickly between all your rooms in a confidential manner, whether to indicate a patient's arrival or even a hygienist ready for the dentist's examination. A visual attribute can also be added, for example, with blinking or a change of colour by type of appointment or resource according to your needs to speed up the reading.

A Powerful Odontogram
The Progident odontogram allows treatment entry and the addition of indicators to allow rapid identification of appointments made for patient examinations.

A promotion to support you in the rapid resuming of your activities

During this period of extreme public health turbulence and when efficient communication becomes a valuable asset in keeping your patients well informed, Progident is pleased to offer the following special promotions:

COVID-19 - Business Continuity

We are remaining positive here at Progident, and we understand the importance of cooperation in these unusual circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak.

To that end, we would like to state that we are continuing our commercial activities.

We are making sure that our customers and partners continue to receive exceptional service.

We would like to remind everyone to limit their non-essential travel and contact with those around them in both personal and professional contexts.

We are also taking this opportunity to sincerely thank our team for remaining outstandingly professional. Without them, we would not be able to keep providing such high quality services.

We will keep you informed of any changes on our social media pages.

Thank you for continuing to work with us!

New Display Themes for Greater Management Possibilities

The latest version of the Progident application platform introduces new possibilities in terms of display themes and work environments management. Indeed, we provide you with a new interface layer that allows you to choose from a list of elaborate display themes in order to further customize your work environment and increase your flexibility and fluidity management.
 

A Work Environment Management More Refined

When you are in full concentration on a specific task, it can be frustrating to inadvertently move a work window or even close one as this phenomenon slows down your management; you have to reactivate your environment or replace the work window manually.

Thanks to our latest version of the Progident application platform, you now have the option to lock your work environment to create a unified screen that prevents unintentional window movement or closing.

With a new lock icon in the main menu of your software, you can, with one click, remove all options for opening, closing or minimizing a window for each opened element of your working environment. The lines surrounding each one of them also disappear to provide a more comprehensive finish, giving the impression of working only in one window, and not several.

The opposite is also possible; you can reactivate the closing and moving options by clicking a second time on the lock icon.

An Environment Designed for You

Some research in the eye health field suggests a direct link between your work environment and the health of your vision. As a matter of fact, the brightness of your screen should be adjusted according to your work environment, which the introduction of a series of Progident display themes with a dark or light background can help you control.

When activating the new dark theme, the background changes automatically from white to black, whereas the writing changes from black to white, and vice versa for the activation of the light mode.

Thus, in a situation where the light of your screen becomes irritating, a change of theme to a darker background can help reduce the damage to the sight by using a lighting more pleasing to the eyes since it can help reduce eye strain.

Your eye strain can be significantly reduced, and your daily work can benefit from it.

But beware, a dark background is not always the solution! If your company works in a very bright environment, you can instead select a light theme to prevent the ambient light from disturbing the background of your software, which can put strain on the eyes.

 

Progident software, therefore, performs well in all work environments. The update and modernization of their presentation are designed according to the right-angled corner display of the Windows 10^TM type so you can feel in a familiar work environment that offers you significant flexibility and fluidity management.

For more information about Progident software or for a free demonstration, call one of our advisors at 1 800 650-0143 or write to .
