Playing Smile Channel on CAESY Cloud

The addition of Smile Channel content to CAESY Cloud is very exciting.  As you know, Smile Channel content is most often played in a reception or consultation room on a TV.  There are several  options to connect a reception room TV to the internet to deliver Smile Channel content from the cloud:

Internet ready TV  -  As you can imagine,  it would be impossible to test every available make and model of internet ready TV on the market.  The Internet ready TVs currently available on the market tend to utilize proprietary browsers and many are not capable of handling the advanced functionality of CAESY Cloud.  We would expect some models to work if they have the ability to play FLASH content, but need to be cautious in our recommendation on this.    We will acquire a list of internet ready TVs that work over time however, we currently can not guarantee any specific internet ready TV will work using the built in browser to deliver Smile Channel content.  Alternatively, we recommend the VIZIO Co-Star stream player.

TV equipped with a VIZIO Co-Star Stream Player With Google TV - VAP430   - This is a small device that will connect  to a  TV via an HDMI connection and provide a wired or wireless internet connection and a browser to connect the TV to CAESY Cloud. https://pattersonsupport.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17732/kw/17732/session/L3RpbWUvMTM1NjExNzYxMS9zaWQvbFJEclRqZWw%3D

Patterson Dental Introduces Eaglesoft Clinician

Patterson Dental Supply, Inc., introduces Eaglesoft Clinician, a fully certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution designed to help dental offices qualify for federal incentive payments. To develop Eaglesoft Clinician, Patterson has partnered with Emdeon, a leading provider of revenue and payment cycle management and clinical information exchange solutions. The program is available now to users of Eaglesoft Practice Management Software, and will be fully interfaced with the upcoming version of the software, Eaglesoft 17.

Eaglesoft Clinician has received the federal government’s “meaningful use” stamp of approval by earning complete EHR Ambulatory certification. The designation officially deems the electronic health record (EHR) software capable of enabling providers to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Tested and certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program, the EHR software is 2011/2012 compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Drummond Group’s ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology—a key component of the federal government’s push to improve clinical care delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. healthcare providers.

In addition to allowing offices to meet meaningful use criteria, Eaglesoft Clinician also gives dentists the ability to submit prescriptions electronically. These capabilities add to the list of efficiency-minded features included in Eaglesoft 16, the number one practice management software on the market.  Eaglesoft 16 streamlines everyday tasks for every member of the dental team, helping the whole office run quickly and efficiently. Designed to be intuitive and easy to use, Eaglesoft also offers advanced, customizable tools and features to help practices become more profitable and productive.

To join the list of Eaglesoft offices that are already using Eaglesoft Clinician and receiving incentive payments, dentists should contact Emdeon at 1.866.369.8805. Upon the release of Eaglesoft 17, Eaglesoft Clinician users will be transitioned to the fully integrated version of the software. For more information, call the Patterson Technology Center at 1.800.294.8504, contact a local Patterson Technology Representative or visit www.eaglesoft.net.
