The ADA has launched an oral health clinical data warehouse open to practices that use practice management software Open Dental 19.3 or higher, according to a story from ADA News.
The cloud-based data repository, which is being called the ADA Dental Experience and Research Exchange, is intended to support clinical research and promote excellence in dental care, the association said.
Each participating practice has access to a customized dashboard, which includes reports for specific clinical queries based on the practice's own data, as well as benchmarks based on aggregated data from other participating practices. Dentists can also invite practice associates to access their practice's personalized data portal, according to the ADA.
