Henry Schein recently released axiUm Ascend, a cloud-based practice management software for dental schools.
The software, developed by Exan Enterprises Inc., a Henry Schein company, is part of the axiUm suite of products and designed for dental education and large dental service organizations, according to a press release.
The cloud-based solution is based on Dentrix Ascend and incorporates workflow requirements into one solution. This makes it possible for dental institutions to access electronic health records (EHRs) through internet-enabled devices.
To protect patient information, axiUm Ascend incorporates multiple security features that are updated to stay current with industry standards. Data is encrypted to the AES-256 standard while both in transit and at rest. The software also includes a system time-out security feature that automatically logs users out after a certain period of inactivity.
Many dental schools and programs find it difficult to effectively maintain the technical infrastructure of an on-site software solution. Cloud-based solutions help resolve this by reducing the costs of servers and databases.
