Problem

As they were growing rapidly across two states, the executive team at Plum Dental Group realized that using Dentrix would become more cumbersome with additional server management effort and reduced visibility into data across offices.

Solution

After extensive research, the Plum Dental team finalized on CareStack to help them in their next stage of growth and to standardize and optimize their operations.

Benefits

The all-in-one bundle of capabilities that CareStack offered helped Plum Dental to centralize activities across their locations, communicate with users and patients across locations, and monitor practice operations with analytics. This significantly boosted their subsequent growth, and helped them acquire and add more locations to their group.

..show us the data across all our offices.

As we were growing we needed a software that could show us the data across all our offices. We did not want to own or manage the servers ourselves, which we had to do with Dentrix.

User Training and Onboarding


1. Training Plans

2. Self Paced Trials

Users were provided with a trial environment to try and learn workflows by themselves and gain confidence.

Generic Training Plans don’t work. Training users specifically for their functional roles significantly improves their confidence and readiness to switch over to a new system.

CareStack’s modern User Interface is easy to learn. You can also use our learning center to swiftly onboard new staff. Your team will thank you!

Being able to look at schedules easily and understand where there are holes, challenges and training opportunities... That was an early win.
