Kodak Dental Systems’ Health Care Management Software: ORTHOTRAC Practice Management Software

In the realm of health care providers, privacy and security are of foremost importance. HIPAA Regulations clearly state that a provider must secure all Electronic Protected Health Information and must take the appropriate steps toward the implementation of safeguards to reduce the risk of any security incidents.

Kodak Dental Systems is helping its customers to meet these challenges with the release of a new and enhanced version of its ORTHOTRAC Practice Management Software. ORTHOTRAC Practice Management Software provides the tools needed to aid a customer in managing clinical information, scheduling, and finances. The software is completely integrated and is aimed at aiding in the development of a paperless clinical system.

The enhanced 10.0 version of this innovative software has been integrated with M2SYS’ breakthrough Bio-Plugin™ fingerprint technology, making it easier and safer to manage sensitive patient information and other areas of privacy concern. Bio-Plugin™ enables software companies to rapidly integrate a complete, seamless fingerprint recognition system without the need for extensive development or a broad knowledge of biometric technology.

By simply placing their finger on a fingerprint reader, staff members with appropriate security permissions can retrieve, enter and edit secure information. Fingerprint recognition technology eliminates the need for passwords that can be compromised or forgotten and ID cards that can be lost, providing the ultimate security for electronic protected health information. Another key benefit delivered by the biometric recognition system is that patient prescriptions and diagnosis can be distributed and monitored with a reduced liability concern and increased convenience.

The addition of a biometric authentication module into the Practice Management Software not only increases levels of security, but simplifies the process of employee and patient management. An internal audit trail to track employee movements can be easily implemented by placing fingerprint scanners in key areas or rooms, creating a greater sense of security due to increased employee accountability.

Patients can also be quickly enrolled in the system and can then utilize the fingerprint scanning technology for an immediate and more efficient check-in process than the timely paper-and-pen sign-in techniques that are currently being used.

M2SYS’ innovative fingerprint scanning technology improves employee productivity and user experience by eliminating time and hassle usually associated with password management. The biometric system also aids in eliminating the headaches often associated with HIPAA compliance.

Given the large market share of Kodak, a significant number of orthodontic offices will benefit from the M2SYS fingerprint software provided as a seamless module within Kodak’s ORTHOTRAC Practice Management Software.
