What is data collection?

Data collection can span several areas of a dental practice. It’s necessary to collect patient data during the office visits, such as medical history and insurance information. However, it’s also important to track patient data digitally. Digital data collection makes it easier for patients to complete forms and to update their own information.

Why digital data collection?

Collecting data digitally can help streamline the process of clinical patient data collection. Digital technology lets providers answer patient questions, review treatment plans, and capture insurance information without stacks of paperwork.

With digital data collection, you can send patients an online or mobile survey to fill out. This can help patients answer questions before they come in to the office. They can also review your treatment plan and financial options before they visit. This saves time at the appointment and minimizes errors and rework.

Digital data collection also lets patients enter their own information. This reduces errors by providers and front desk staff. Patients can also enter their insurance information, eliminating questions about coverage.

Advantages of digital data collection

Digital data collection allows dentists to collect patient information through an online patient portal or a cloud-based system.

Digital data allows patients to input their own information from the comfort of their own home.

digital data collection is paperless, so it is environmentally friendly.

Dentists are able to send patients reminders through digital data collection.
