Audio Recording Your Consultations? The Future of Dental Record Keeping – IC039

How long do you spend at the end of the day writing notes? Are you always home late? I used to spend HOURS writing up notes after a long day in the clinic, but not anymore. I have been on a journey to find tools that make record keeping easier, more efficient and higher quality. The toughest sessions were TMD consultations where there was so much to take in that my poor nurse struggled to get everything down - that’s when I discovered Dental Audio Notes. I brought on the founders, Dentist Ala and Engineer Adam - to discuss the audio recording (and transcription) as part of dental records. Disclaimer: I have ZERO financial interest in DAN software. I just think it’s bloody brilliant. Dental Audio Notes (DAN) is a service designed to revolutionise record-keeping in the dental industry. DAN offers secure audio recording and transcription of patient interactions, allowing dentists to master record-keeping effortlessly. https://youtu.be/dRlvlGUyQQQ Watch IC039 on Youtube Here’s what makes DAN an invaluable tool for dentists: 1.

What's important to us when it comes to our dental records? What's important to you? Jaz's Introduction:Now, some of you might say that it's important, that's really contemporaneous and it's good legal defense in case anything goes wrong, fine, that's important. But you know what's really important to me is HOW MUCH TIME I would spend at the end of a working day and I'm knocked, I'm tired, and I'm having to just go over my notes and make sure that everything is correct and proper, and this can take a real long time that I know associates and colleagues who spend, gosh, about 90 minutes after day of work, just going through their notes, make sure they haven't missed anything,
