Growing a dental practice or DSO is an exciting but complex journey. Expansion often brings unforeseen IT challenges that can stunt growth, increase operational costs, and put patient data at risk. The internal IT departments that may have served well during the early-business stage might suddenly find themselves overwhelmed. In other words, your IT infrastructure can become like a pair of shoes that you’ve outgrown—uncomfortable and unfit for your current needs.
Facing the Challenges of Growth
As dental practices and DSOs evolve, so does the complexity of their technological needs. The small internal IT department that once sufficed may not have the resources, expertise, or time to ensure optimal cybersecurity or handle the intricate management of multiple locations. This is where Chris Gibson, VP of Operations, encapsulates the essence of the problem:
“DSOs and practices with multiple dental offices are realizing that their I.T. challenges are throttling growth and increasing operating costs. Ensuring cybersecurity and protecting patient data are also paramount for streamlining I.T. infrastructure and support.”
