In everyday life, it’s easy to forget that wireless technology has significantly altered the way we interact with the world. Even though a number of these technologies are comparatively recent, modern technology now holds wireless capabilities at the core of their appeal and this feature allows these systems to integrate into our lives more effectively. A pertinent example is the evolution of the phone. Where people were once tethered to their homes in order to take a phone call, modern mobile phones give us anytime anywhere access to communication and, with wireless internet connection, these devices have become indispensable.
Although the systems in dental practices have also evolved rapidly in a short timeframe, wireless technology remains a relatively recent innovation. But what are the benefits of choosing systems that have wireless functionality in your practice?
A new era of technology
The way we access the internet has undergone a radical change in a very short timeframe. Dial up modem connections have been replaced with broadband – wireless connections that allow multiple devices to seamlessly browse the internet, store data in the cloud and speedily access information.
In healthcare industries this evolution of internet capabilities has revolutionised a number of technologies in practice. For example, practice management has become safer, faster, and much more intuitive due to new software that is able to access the cloud, securely store files remotely and keep track of business analytics in real time. Some systems can also be accessed remotely via an internet connection and send reports and analytics wirelessly to other devices. These have completely changed the face of how technology works with professionals to provide an exceptional standard of care for a number of reasons.
Anytime, anywhere access
Anytime, anywhere access to certain systems has helped to completely transform aspects of practice that were once restrained to the confines of the business location. With cloud capabilities, a number of systems can now be accessed by members of the team from the comfort of their home, while on their commute or even when they’re just out and about, all without impacting the safety and security of files. This facilitates a more flexible approach to cases and other business matters, meaning that professionals are no longer tethered by set working hours and a set location.
Compliance and record keeping are easier than ever
In a similar vein, some systems can now be controlled remotely via app, and this means that professionals are no longer required to be in the vicinity of the system in order to achieve the same results. This, in turn, brings a number of benefits that wouldn’t be possible with systems that don’t have wireless internet connection.
For example, by accessing systems digitally, you can keep a record of who has operated any piece of equipment and what actions have been performed at what time, aiding compliance and ensuring that records are watertight. Many of these systems are also able to store records in the cloud or send them to other devices instantly, bypassing the need for any physical record-keeping and ensuring a more accurate and easily comprehensive approach to remaining compliant.
Freedom of movement
Today, we must consider the physical limitations that wired technology provide. For example, when using an intraoral scanner, the wire can restrict freedom of movement and make the image acquisition process more difficult than it needs to be.
As such, it’s a smart idea to look into investing in cutting-edge wireless solutions, such as the new CS 3800 intraoral scanner from Carestream Dental. An innovative system that has been designed specifically with optimal mobility in mind, its wireless capabilities allow clinicians to manoeuvre however they like during image acquisition, making the process more comfortable for professionals and patients alike. One of the lightest and smoothest scanners on the market, the CS 3800 also has a larger field of view than most market-leading scanners, which allows it to capture every detail with exceptional accuracy.
The wireless generation
In the end, wireless technology continues to push the boundaries of what is capable in modern dental care. With everything from anytime, anywhere access to better freedom of movement, these technologies are paving the way towards a more versatile, innovative future that will only continue to help keep professionals at the very cutting-edge of care.
