Chicago Midwinter Show 2018

February 22, 2018 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.
