1-800-DENTIST enhances Patient Activator

1-800-DENTIST has developed a series of upgrades to two components of its Patient Activator patient communications and social media management service: the Daily Sign-in Sheet and the Patient eNewsletter.

Patient Activator's Daily Sign-in Sheet is an office-operation tool that makes it easy to quickly view up-to-date patient confirmation status, according to the company. Delivered every day before the start of office hours, the printer-friendly report helps the front-office team identify and fill scheduling gaps. It also flags missing patient email or cell phone contact information so that office staff can ask for it during the visit and improve reminder efficiency and patient recall.

The Patient eNewsletter is delivered automatically every month on a date chosen by the dentist. The upgraded eNewsletter features a new design template and patient-friendly content that can be customized to complement an office's marketing strategy. As part of the upgrade, Patient Activator is adding new articles to its free library of patient-oriented articles. There are currently more than 400 articles to choose from with another 100 being added through the summer, the company said.
