It is a good idea to have sound in the treatment room. Sound can be used for patient education and entertainment programs as well as for diagnostic devices that talk, such as the Florida Probe from the Florida Probe Corp. (www.floridaprobe.com [1]). Many LCD flat panels come with built-in speakers. These are ideal. Just be sure the speakers are in the panel and not on the base. You will most likely place the panel on an LCD mount and discard the base.

A practical way to go paperless is to establish an infrastructure that includes both a fully integrated practice management software program and a complete digital network with computers in treatment rooms. Next, add digital images-both photos and x-ray-and add a scanner to convert paper to a digital format. Then, set a date when staff will enter all new chart data electronically. From that day forward, no additional paper records will be created.As you go paperless, at first you will need to access the paper charts of all of your patients, as you will be referring to previous paper entries. As time goes on, though, you will refer less and less to the old paper records. After a year, all current x-rays will be digital, and all recent entries and treatment plans for patients should now be digital. At this point, it is possible to stop pulling charts. For awhile, though, you still will need to refer fairly often to old paper charts for entries or x-rays that are more than a year old. Eventually, you will rarely ever need to pull a paper chart.

My job is secure. No one else wants it. You’ve obviously mistaken me for someone who cares This is my other car! And on the eighth day, God went mountain biking fishing Time is what keeps everything from happening at once Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain Don’t steal. The government hates competition. We are Microsoft. Resistance Is Futile. You Will Be Assimilated. Stop the violins. Visualize whirled peas. Gun Control isn’t about guns. It’s about control.
