At Dental Practice Enhancement, we’re here to shed light on the myths surrounding remote administration. We’re confident that once you learn the truth behind the fables, you’ll be convinced that remote management is the way to go. 

We know that you have choices when it comes to remote office management. Contact Dental Practice Enhancement to learn what sets us apart and why we may be a great fit for you. 

Myth #1: Virtual Office Management Poses a Security Risk

The truth: Your data is just as secure with remote administration as it is in your office. In fact, it may be more so since remote workers have more privacy and can easily make phone calls without being overheard. The team at Dental Practice Enhancement understands the intricacies of HIPAA compliance, and we are meticulous about maintaining proper privacy standards.

Myth #2: Virtual Workers Are Less Productive 

**The truth: Virtual office management can actually *****increase ***productivity. According to one two-year survey, going remote can boost productivity by as much as 6% on average. Remote workers don’t have lengthy commutes or long in-office meetings. Moreover, they don’t face the distractions that automatically come from working in a dental office with interruptions from patients and other employees.

Myth #3: Virtual Management Leads to Dissatisfied Patients

**The truth: Your patient satisfaction rate could actually soar. **Remote office management doesn’t mean your patients aren’t welcomed by a friendly face when they come into the office. Rather, virtual managers will handle the behind-the-scenes elements of dentistry, particularly billing and insurance, hygiene recall, and similar services. This means that your front-of-house team can be fully present to your patients.

Myth #4: Remote Management Makes Communication Difficult

The truth: With the right management service, you will enjoy excellent communication with your remote workers. At Dental Practice Enhancement, you are assigned a specific administrator to whom you will talk every time you call. If they are unavailable for any reason, you can talk to their cross-trained back-up. You will never be routed to a generic call center or to someone who is not familiar with your specific practice.
