IN THIS EPISODE:
- [3:49] Amy introduces April, who discusses how to determine the technology you need to run a potential multi-million dollar practice
- [10:37] April discusses implementing new technology that works bidirectionally with the software currently used
- [13:47] The importance of access to data through analytics or a reporting module

- [33:16] Discussion of information in fields that are not migrated into new technology and the future of AI in the industry
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- It is critical to make your office accessible to new patients. Patients should only provide their name, date of birth and insurance information. You may lose business if you make it too difficult to make an appointment.
- New technology should operate bidirectionally to transfer data between platforms and work with the software you already are using.
- Patients should be able to make appointments and make payments on their smartphones so the office does not have to make those entries. This method also takes the burden from office staff to enter data.
