These require a repository of information and file sharing that can be accessed and built upon over time.
We focus on the specifics of transitioning to digital forms, patient privacy, and stafftraining. Our goal is to make HIPAA compliance a more manageable task, ensuring that dental offices can focus on what they do best – providing quality dental care – while confidently navigating the requirements of patient data protection.
