DentalBee: AI-powered documentation brings economic benefits to the dental office
The term “dental scribe” brings to mind an image of a tape recorder sitting on a counter or even an assistant who writes really fast. In our era of modern technology—with increasing treatment options, internet-savvy patients, complicated insurance claims processes, and potential legal hassles—it is more important than ever to have an efficient and complete method of documenting patient visits. This is where DentalBee’s AI-powered dental scribe services can provide economic and operational benefits beyond what traditional documentation methods offer.
Save time with hands-free dental charting
With its hands-free note-taking and perio charting capabilities, DentalBee reduces charting time by up to two hours daily per staff member. Backed by the power of AI, DentalBee tracks diagnosis and treatment information and conversations, identifies future treatment options, provides more complete information for filing insurance claims, and supports dentists with facts in the case of future legal action.
How DentalBee’s AI dental scribe technology works
In any operatory or room in the practice, staff prompts the AI to listen to the conversation and enter the information into the charted notes in the clinician’s preferred style and order. DentalBee’s notes are transcribed into individualized templates in the format and style requested by the provider and the staff. The note can then be directly saved into the practice’s PMS.
The technology is customized down to the preferred grammatical style of the dentist, even fine-tuning punctuation used for certain procedures. It’s important to mention that users have the option to pause the recording at any time during the conversation.
Intelligent recognition of materials, products, and speakers
Beyond clinical treatment documentation, the AI also recognizes and includes materials and products used during specific treatments. DentalBee can also identify, through context, who is speaking—distinguishing between providers and patients. It continuously improves by learning from users’ activity and edits to the notes.
Reduce claim denials and support legal protection
In a time when insurance claims are often declined due to insufficient documentation, DentalBee’s real-time, detailed notes can help reduce denials and speed up payments. In the case of legal issues, having complete notes and access to secure audio recordings of doctor-patient interactions can clarify discrepancies. Recordings can be securely stored for up to 7 years, offering long-term protection.
Personalized patient instructions and treatment follow-ups
The information gathered by DentalBee is useful for more than just charting. It can create individualized patient instructions based on actual treatment, which is far more useful and patient-friendly than generic printouts.
For practice building, reviewing in-office conversations can support future treatment discussions. Often, chats about future treatment options are forgotten as the focus shifts to immediate procedures.
Eliminate gaps in patient documentation
Comprehensive details needed for patients’ treatment and progress can be easily overlooked when the dentist is quickly jotting down notes or dictating to an assistant who's rushing to prepare for the next patient. AI dental scribes like DentalBee ensure that critical information is never missed.
The buzz on DentalBee: Smarter documentation, better outcomes
In this age of technology, all of the extra information DentalBee provides—without extra work or time for the dentist or staff—can lead to significant economic benefits, including increased treatment opportunities and more complete documentation for long-term practice success.
