Top 3 things to store in the cloud

Not sure how to use the cloud to benefit your practice? Check out these 3 tips.

1. Patient education

We’ve come a long way from yellowing brochures in the waiting room. Today’s video education doesn’t just offer dynamic animation on a wide range of dental topics, it is now available in the cloud. The benefit for you and your patients? Consistent, quality education, updated regularly, on-demand.

2. Records you can’t afford to lose

When using cloud storage, you never have to worry about servers going down, stressing your last backup or practice security during natural or man-made disasters. Combine this with better HIPAA compliance, and you’re looking at unparalleled peace of mind.

3. Images

While there are a variety of corollary issues to take into consideration, storing digital images in the cloud offers numerous benefits, especially as digital imaging continues to play a critical role in treatment planning and takes up an increasing amount of memory - one source suggests that 20 photos a day can quickly ad up to 30 MB.
