Posted May 24, 2013 by Andre M

Today XLDent is at the national meeting for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry in Orlando Florida. The meeting is going very well with dozens of doctors and resident doctors stopping by imagining the possibilities of going mobile with Tablet PC’s. One doctor mentioned that the XLDent Dental Practice Management Software and mobile tablets will help manage the chaos of running a pediatric office. Enclosed you’ll see a picture of the XLDent booth with a group of resident doctors from the University of Iowa Dental School.   We are glad to see that the pediatric specialty is imagining all the possibilities of electronic dental records using the power of wireless tablet PCs and XLDent.

This EHR software is compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Drummond Group’s ONC-ACB certification program certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology – a key component of the federal government’s push to improve clinical care delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. healthcare providers.

This Complete EHR is 2011 Edition compliant and has been certified by an ONC-ACB in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.

XLDent at the Iowa Dental Meeting

Posted May 7, 2013 by Jennifer G

The rain, sleet and snow didn’t succeed in keeping people away from the 2013 Iowa Dental Association Annual Session.  Starting with Thursday’s opening night of the exhibit hall, the XLDent Dental Practice Management Software was a big hit.  The focus continues to be less on the old traditional desktop system and more on tablet pc’s where XLDent’s electronic dental record provides flexibility with wireless and mobility.  XLDent was happy to introduce several new tablets featuring the entire product suite, including the Motion C5t and the new Microsoft Surface.

MN & NE Dental Meetings

Posted May 6, 2013 by Andre M

This year the Star of the North and the Nebraska State Dental Meetings overlapped!  The Star of the North, of course, was a much larger meeting with much more traffic, but as always it’s nice to be part of the NE meeting.  We visited with a lot of Doctors and staff at both meetings that wanted to change over to XLDent Dental Practice Management System and go fully chartless with XLDent’s Electronic Dental Record.  There was also much excitement about our wireless tablet PC technology and the improvements that XLDent offices are seeing in clinical workflow.  We also introduced a new service for Minnesota dentists that secures email to make it HIPAA compliant.
