Online Appointment Book
Can your appointment book do this?
Your practice management system has an appointment book with some nice features. But there are some features your appointment book just doesn't have the ones we've added to Lighthouse PLZ. Continue to use your PMS appointment book for scheduling appointments, and turn to the Lighthouse PLZ appointment book for the following:
Deconstruct your schedule
Has your schedule ever "fallen apart" and left you wondering what happened? Unless you manually track every change that occurs every day, you really have no way of determining the cause of the problem. The Lighthouse PLZ appointment book has an instant replay feature that allows you to go back in time and step through each change. Determine if your day fell apart at 8:10 a.m. and wasn't fixed all day, or if all the broken appointments were no-shows that were impossible to fill regardless of how hard you tried. With Lighthouse PLZ appointment book, you can identify problems with minimal effort, so you can efficiently focus on the proper fixes.
Fill holes in your hygiene schedule
If you have holes in the hygiene schedule, theres a good chance you can fill them with patients who are already going to be in your practice today. Any appointment in the doctors schedule will be highlighted bright green (or whatever color you like) if the patient is due or past due for a prophy.
Free practice management tip
Reduce new patient no-shows with a personal call from you the dentist the night before the first appointment. Ask if there is anything you can do to make them feel more comfortable about their upcoming visit. That's all it takes. Your online appointment book enables you to do this from the comfort of your home computer.
Save on licenses
Display your appointment book on any computer in your office without using a single seat in your practice management system license count. The computers in your staff lounge or the sterilization area can access your appointment calendar even if they dont have access to your PMS.
