Henry Schein Practice Solutions Launches New Version of Dentrix® Mobile for Apple iPad™

Dentists can use larger tablet device screens of Apple iPad™ and Motorola Xoom™ to see enhanced views of Dentrix practice and patient information
MELVILLE, N.Y., March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Henry Schein Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the largest provider of health care products and services to office-based practitioners, today announced the launch of a new version of Dentrix® Mobile, a remote access tool that allows dentists and office staff to view their appointment schedules, prescriptions, medical alerts and patient information from their smartphones and tablet devices. The updated version of Dentrix Mobile allows dentists to take advantage of the larger screens of the Apple iPad™ and the Motorola Xoom™ tablets to see an enhanced view of their Dentrix practice and patient information.
The new version also allows iPad and Xoom users to add notes to the appointment book or confirm appointments when they are away from the office.
"Many of our Dentrix users own Apple iPads and understand how effective tablets can be to remotely access their Dentrix data," said Kevin Bunker, President, Henry Schein Practice Solutions. "With our new version of Dentrix Mobile, dentists who use Apple iPad or Motorola Xoom tablets can now take advantage of the larger screens to see enhanced Dentrix graphics and more practice information."
"Dentrix Mobile helps the entire dental team use tablets and smartphones as an integral part of practice management," Mr. Bunker added.
The new notes feature will help iPad and Xoom users keep track of requests and after hours patient follow-up while out of the office. "Since notes can be added for a specific patient or day in the appointment book, dentists who take after-hour calls can take notes and have them automatically updated to Dentrix and able to see them the next time they open the patient's appointment," said Adam McDaniel, eServices product manager for Henry Schein Practice Solutions.
Users of Dentrix eCentral, a bundle of electronic services that manage patient communication and insurance billing, can now use their iPad or Xoom to confirm appointments outside of the office with the new version of Dentrix Mobile. "The confirmation is immediately updated in Dentrix so that the front desk team, hygienist or contracted workers can confirm appointments outside of normal business hours or without going into the office," Mr. McDaniel said. "Dentrix eCentral users can also mark a patient's insurance status as eligible or initiate an eligibility verification update from the patient's insurance carrier without being in the office," he added.
Dentrix Mobile runs on the latest smartphones and mobile devices, including BlackBerry®, iPhone™, iPad™, Palm Pre™, Motorola Xoom™ and Android™. The newest upgraded version of Dentrix Mobile is free to customers with the latest version of Dentrix and a Customer Service Plan.
