HENRY SCHEIN ONE ANNOUNCES DENTRIX SMART IMAGE 2.0
New Feature Attaches Digital Images with Codes to Electronic Claims and Posts to Dentrix Ledger
AMERICAN FORK, Utah-- Henry Schein One, a joint venture of Henry Schein Inc., today announced the launch of Dentrix Smart Image™ 2.0 with a new workflow feature that automatically attaches diagnostic images and their associated Current Dental Terminology (CDT) codes to insurance claims - and posts the claims to the Dentrix® ledger, patient records, and progress notes.
The new capability allows for seamless automation in every step of the practice workflow that connects clinical and financial processes, reducing the potential for human error, helping to increase productivity, and enhancing clinical efficiencies.
“Smart Image 2.0 is proof of our commitment to deliver technology innovation and improvement to every aspect of practice management,” said Jonathan Koch, Senior Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, Henry Schein Global Dental. “We’ve received encouraging feedback from customers, indicating that this new automation to the clinical and financial workflow has given their teams additional tools to be more efficient and enhance their ability to provide quality patient care.”
This new automated workflow for electronic claims attachment is available to practices using the Dentrix practice management system, Dentrix eClaims, and an integrated connector from a premier-level Smart Image partner, such as Dentsply Sirona, DEXIS®, and Planmeca. The most recent premier-level Smart Image partner, Acteon, currently has an integrated connector in development.
Smart Image 2.0 incorporates other key features, including the ability to preview a thumbnail of an image before attaching it to a claim. This preview simplifies the manual attachment process. Dental team members can also select and attach up to four images from multiple sources and image types in one location. Having access to the thumbnail images within the patient chart provides a centralized view and improves operatory efficiency.
“I love how Dentrix is becoming the one place I can go to see and do everything,” said Dr. Daniel Butterman, DDS. “I have immediate access not just to the charting, but also to thumbnail versions of patient diagnostic images on the same screen. By clicking on the thumbnails, I can view full images immediately, without going to imaging software in a separate location. As soon as I walk in the room, the chart is up. I have immediate access to any of the X-rays or images to help diagnose treatment. This is not only faster and easier, but also safer for the patient."
“Smart Image is becoming a prominent clinical and financial workflow in the dental industry for practice management systems,” said Kevin Bunker, President of Henry Schein One North America. “We will continue to connect Dentrix with leading imaging technologies so they work together as one integrated system. Dentists who can connect their technology will benefit from accessing imaging software through Smart Image, making it possible to focus more on providing a quality experience for their patients.”
