5 Tips to Maximize Collections in Your Practice

November 15, 2019 Andy Cleveland Leave a comment

Dentistry has undeniably become an extremely complex business. Dentists need to be excellent practitioners and simultaneously be knowledgeable in marketing, human resources, social media, insurance, customer service, and so on.

In my experience advising dental practices, I have found that the most successful practices do not necessarily have dentists with the most advanced clinical acumen or professional designations, but rather those who take most seriously the responsibilities of business ownership.

5 Steps to Exiting your Dental Practice in Style

February 23, 2018 Bassim Michael, CPA, CVA, MS Tax Leave a comment

My story with exit planning started on a Saturday morning in October, about 14 years ago. I was in my early 30s, with a family, a mortgage and a young, growing CPA firm. That morning, I learned that one of my college friends suffered a heart attack and did not make it. The news was very sad, especially since we had attended her wedding reception less than a year earlier. A few days later, I started feeling chest pains and, since the loss of my friend was still fresh on my mind, I immediately made an appointment with my doctor. My doctor saw me the same day and did the necessary tests and referred me to a cardiologist.

Chicago Midwinter Show 2018

February 22, 2018 Sikka Software Leave a comment

Our Sikka team is at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting booth #1613 and, so far, we have met amazing dental professionals committed to the health of their practices. If you can’t make it to the show or need more information, we have three highlights for you right here!

  1. Inventory no longer has to be a manual chore! Sikka has been using artificial intelligence (AI) to help your practice run smoother for years but now, with Practice Assistant, we can also help with predictive inventory ordering. Our AI technology uses practice data, your schedule and your inventory to determine what supplies are needed for the next two weeks. This decreases team member workload and reduces the risk of under ordering, which prevents treatment completion, or over ordering and over spending. Plus, you can order hands-free from your preferred vendor. Find out more at bit.ly/Practice-Assistant.
  1. Unite your team and streamline your workflow! In a busy office, it is easy to miss updates for treatment plans, outstanding balances and necessary patient information. With our brand new product, Hydra, your team is guided through daily activities based on their roles, from front desk to treatment coordinator to dentist and more. Hydra makes it easy to communicate and share tasks, helping your team provide optimal patient care while increasing cash flow. Find out more at bit.ly/slay-the-dragon.
  1. Technology is easier to use than ever! With Sikka Software, we can help you run your practice from wherever you have an Internet connection. You can use your smartphone to access Practice Mobilizer, our free app that has HIPAA and HITECH compliant video, picture and text messaging for patient communication. See when your patients will arrive and get a free 10 procedure fee survey for your zip code. Learn more at bit.ly/Practice-Mobilizer.

Sikka continues to innovate, and we look forward to seeing you at future shows. You can find out more at www.sikkasoft.com or by calling 800-94-SIKKA for a demo.

May 15, 2016 Kelly Clay Leave a comment

The American Pet Products Association reports that the companion animal market represents $62.75 billion dollars in sales annually. Furthermore, 65% or 79.7 million homes in the U.S. have a pet. With such a large market and increase in spending, how are we using data to analyze, target, and project trends? This question is increasingly important with the emergence of technology in the veterinary market, as this has generated more data to be collected and examined than ever before. This paper will identify ways veterinarians, buying groups, manufacturers, distributors, and pet owners can leverage animal health market data for optimal pet health.
