Maximizing ROI: Insights from Forrester’s Latest Study on CareStack in Dental Practices

The dental industry is evolving rapidly, with technological innovations like Artificial Innovation playing a pivotal role in transforming practice operations and patient experience. In this ever-changing landscape, making well-informed decisions about the right software solutions is a difficult activity for dental office operators, who are already short on time due to their day-to-day tasks. This is especially true of Practice Management software that serves as the beating heart of a dental office, and a wrong choice can significantly impact the efficiency, patient satisfaction, and financial health of the practice.

The Straumann Group, a strategic partner of CareStack, recognized this critical need to support dental practices for making informed choices for practice management software, and  commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a comprehensive study on the return on investment (ROI) of implementing CareStack in dental practices. Today, we are proud to announce the release of this groundbreaking study, which is a game-changer for dental practices that are looking to adopt technology for growth and success.

Understanding the Study

The study, titled "The Total Economic Impact™ of CareStack," conducted by Forrester Consulting, provides an in-depth analysis of the financial benefits, cost savings and patient satisfaction that dental practices can achieve by adopting CareStack's all-in-one practice management solution. The research methodology included detailed interviews with CareStack customers, analysis of customers' operating metrics over a 3-year period, and an evaluation of the platform's impact on the various aspects of dental practice management.
