<h1 style="margin: 24pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Over
our years in providing software for dental laboratories, we have noted the ways
dental labs have selected their software.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some have been wise, others less so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have seen some labs go through as many as six different systems while
others have been able to stick with their choice over the years through many
transitions in technology and business practices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you would like to be one of the smart
ones, here are some pointers for you.<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><strong>Develop your list<o:p></o:p></strong></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Begin by developing a list of the criteria, your
requirements, wishes, limitations for your system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be prepared to change and enhance as you
continue through the rest of these pointers. You may want to set up a
spreadsheet to make your comparisons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><strong>Do your research<o:p></o:p></strong></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Take the time to do your research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use your trade journals and the internet search
engines to find the software designed for the special needs of this
industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take the time to review the
offerings, determine which of these might serve your criteria, then talk to
each provider.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This should narrow your
list of possibilities. If an interactive webinar is available, use this to
preview the features of the system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ideally, if it looks like a good possibility, the next ideal step is to
move on to a demo or trial version to actually work with it over a number of
days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><strong>Review the basics<o:p></o:p></strong></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Working with your list, review whether the features
of each of the software possibilities meets or exceeds your basic requirements.
The ideal is standard software that covers the needs of the industry at an
affordable price but allows for growth and customization whenever needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">If there are special features you would like
to have now or in the future, determine whether customization will be available
or whether you will have to make do with a standard system. Note that
customization can be performed on multiple levels:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Overview of Price Levels<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: -1.45pt;">
Price levels allow you to customize charges for
your products and services. It is in QuickBooks that you establish a default
price for each of these in the Items list. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because not all versions of QuickBooks include
price levels by item, it is the price levels in DentaLab for QuickBooks (DQB)
that will be used when invoicing a case through DQB.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: -1.45pt;">
In DQB you may setup a price level for a number
of doctors or choose a level that is unique to one specific doctor. This allows
further flexibility for invoicing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: -1.45pt;">
If creating QuickBooks purchase orders from
cases, you can also setup a price level for each vendor with the prices to be
used in their purchase orders.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
If a customer or vendor does not have a price level assigned, the default
prices in QuickBooks will be used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If a
customer or vendor has a price level by item, only those items specified in the
price level will get special prices; the remaining ones will default to the
prices in QuickBooks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">How to setup price levels in DQB<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
To set up a new price level in DQB, go to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Basic Lists</b> and then choose <b>Price Levels</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From Actions, choose <b>New</b> or right
click and choose New. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Give the price
level a unique name and choose whether it will be by Percentage or by Item. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
If you are creating a new Price Level that is similar but not identical to
another one, you can use the option to <b>Copy Price Level</b> and then edit
the new price level's name and contents. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
After a Price Level has been established, you can <b>Edit</b> it whenever
necessary.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Types of price levels<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
The two types of price levels are:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b><u>Fixed %</u></b> - will increase or decrease your item's default price
by whatever percent you choose<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sample:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Premium 10%<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>increase 10%<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>Discount
5% <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>decrease 5%<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<b><u>Per Item</u></b> - select each item from the drop-down box and its
item price will show. Type in the new price in Custom price box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The grid will show the default price from
QuickBooks and the current price level. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Sample:
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Family Dental Centers <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>Columbia University<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">You
only need to enter the custom price for each item having a special price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All others will use the default price from
QuickBooks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can also increase or
decrease Per Item price levels by percentage and choose whether to not round or
round to .05, .10, .25, .50 or 1.00.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Assign price level to customer(s)<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The price level option is shown in the
Customer record under the Additional Info tab. It is here that you specify if
the customer is to have one of the custom price levels by selecting one from
the list.</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you want a customer to use a certain price
level, go to the Customer List, double click on the customer, select <b>Additional
Info</b> tab and select the desired price level. Then, whenever you invoice a
case for this customer, the custom price list will be examined to see if the
item should have a custom price rather than the default price. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Assign price level to vendor(s)<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
The price level option is shown in the Vendor record. It is here that you
specify if the vendor is to have one of the custom price levels for its
purchase orders.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">If you no longer need a price level<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">There is also an option to make the price
level <b>inactive</b>. For example, if you've already created a price level,
e.g. Premium10, but now wish to go back to the standard prices, you would
choose to edit the Permium10 price level and check the inactive box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then all customers set for this custom price
level will be invoiced at the default rate set up in QuickBooks.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you wish to check which customers have
been assigned to the inactive price level, go to Basic Lists/Print Lists/Price
Level Assignments. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Price level reports<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">From
Basic Lists- Price Levels, you can go to the Action menu to select either Print
Selected or Print All.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">From
Basic Lists- Print Lists, you can print reports on Price Levels and also the
Price Level Assignments to customers<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Option to check if case item is in customer’s price level list<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In Options/Case Settings, you can click on an
indicator to have the system check if each case item added to a case is in the
customer’s price level by item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
option will be applied to all users in a networked system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Then if the item added
to a case is not within the list, it will prompt the user to add the item to
the current customer price level list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
will also ask the user to set the price for the item within the price level
list. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">One of the ongoing challenges for dental labs
has been deciphering hand-written prescriptions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adding to this challenge have been incomplete
instructions from the dental offices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The result:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>remakes, extra work,
less revenue, dissatisfaction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Along the way labs have introduced and
encouraged a number of alternatives to the dental offices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here for your consideration are some of the
possibilities for surmounting the scrawl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">RX with<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Checklists<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Labs have developed formal checklists of
their services and products along with specialized preferences such as margins,
occlusion, pontic design to make it easy for the dentist to simply place a
checkmark wherever appropriate for the work order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, these forms request entry of
other critical information such as the patient name, tooth number(s), shade,
requested date of return, special case instructions toward the goal of
recording complete information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Some labs create a separate checklist for
each of their major departments such as crown and bridge, dentures,
implants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The forms are typically
issued to the dental offices in print or as PDF (Adobe Portable Data Format)
downloads from their website.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Labs have reported that these have been a
help, but still many are incomplete, the hand-written portions still difficult
to read and a significant number of the doctors choose not to use them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Online Prescription Entry<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The leaders in this industry
for online prescription entry have been Henry Schein’s DDX system and
Mainstreet’s DentalRx.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both provide secure
entry and lookup of case information, but their approaches have been
different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">DDX is web-hosted by Henry Schein and
requires use of its Dentrix practice management software by the dentist and use
of Labnet or other authorized case management software by the lab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lab is charged a fee for each
prescription processed through the system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The advantages of this system are
that the form is very similar to the traditional ones used for hand-written prescriptions
and that dentists already using Dentrix have an easy way to submit their
prescriptions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">DentalRx is also web-based
and is tied to use of Mainstreet’s DentaLab for QuickBooks case management
system that synchronizes with Intuit’s QuickBooks software for accounting and
financial management.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Typically, the lab
includes a link from its website for authorized dental offices to submit their
prescriptions, electronic images or files, pickup requests, preferences and
other communications and then to lookup the status of cases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lab also designates which of its
standard procedures are available to DentalRx so that the dental office simply
makes its selections for the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
system has the advantages that case entry into DentaLab for QuickBooks is
primarily completed by the dental office and can be prebooked into the schedule,
the website can include marketing and educational material and there are no
per-case charges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Some of the newer
internet-based dental lab systems now also offer portals for the dental offices
to submit and/or lookup cases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fee
structures and security levels for doing this vary by the vendor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Labs have reported that when
they gain acceptance by the dental office, these approaches result in more
complete accurate prescriptions, but many of their dentists still prefer
sending a hand-written prescription with the case.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Phone/Email Follow-up<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Another approach has been to
establish standards and then train lab staff members to recognize when
prescriptions are incomplete or unclear and to follow-up with the dental office
in an organized efficient way to achieve the clarity needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the steps in this process might be:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Place the case in an On-Hold status noting the reason until
confirmation is received.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Have staff add customer and/or case alerts to record what
is needed, the steps taken, the results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Determine when a phone call
will suffice or when sending an email of the lab work ticket with details (on
the patient, shade, teeth, preferences, items, special instructions) is needed
so that the dental office can confirm or adjust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Monitor the customer’s activity log to determine if
further measures are needed to encourage better submittals of work orders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4f81bd;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Be Aware – Software Can Help<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Be aware that while software can not completely surmount
the issue of scrawled prescriptions or immediately change long-standing habits,
good use of it can certainly help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<h1 style="margin: 24pt 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #365f91;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">DQB: Coordinating the Desktop and the Cloud<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></h1>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The term “cloud” has come to be synonymous with the
internet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cloud services often mean
having a server either at your own or a distant location that can serve as a
host to provide software and data anywhere and anytime via mobile devices such
as wireless notebooks, tablets and smartphones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some of the many benefits touted for this approach are
these:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If using a company that specializes in providing
web-hosting, you are sharing their resources with many others and therefore
paying less in the near term than investing in your own servers and security
systems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you choose to have your own servers provide
web-hosting, you are essentially creating a private cloud in which you retain
control but still receive all the other benefits of this approach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are many organizations, however, that feel that
security and privacy of information are still major concerns that need to be
rectified before they will move wholeheartedly into the cloud.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed, if you tune in to the press in
computer-related journals, the majority of topics are concerned with
security.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Major companies with
tremendous resources such as Sony have had their cloud-based offerings hacked.
One of the major providers of internet-based data backup has been found to be
selling information on their customers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes internet-based operations are out of service for days on
end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A lot of the cloud services are applications that are not
mission critical — if one piece goes down, it's not going to cause massive damage
to your business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The truly mission
critical applications that are the core of your business need to be as secure
and controlled as possible.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[endif]--></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nearly a quarter of businesses said they do not trust any of
their data to the cloud, or an outsourced data center, and manage their own
computing equipment, whether the center is within their own building or at a
co-location center.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[endif]--></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A greater percentage of businesses are maintaining their own
control of their core business applications and information, but judiciously
providing internet access where there will be benefit to their services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some examples are allowing customers to enter
an order, then to track its fulfillment and shipping progress, providing
schedules and rates for viewing and selection, links to partner programs,
opportunity to give comments and feedback<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">They seemed far away at
first, but as the dates for the new government compliance requirements here in
the USA close in, it is time to start planning for the software support that
will be needed as development and testing do not happen overnight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">One of the new federal
requirements will be the <b>excise tax on medical devices </b>that will be
applicable for most of the work produced by dental laboratories. QuickBooks
already provides for automatic taxation if you specify that an item is taxable
and then assign a tax item to specify the rate and chart of accounts
entry. For those who are in states and/or counties that also
require taxation, you will need to assure that you are tallying multiple taxes
accurately for government reporting. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Another will be the <b>unique
device identification </b>(UID) that will require a barcode to identify the
manufacturer, manufacturer contact information, date of origin, lot number,
date of shipment, product class device, and risk classification.
This will likely require that a barcoded label be affixed to any packaging and
possibly also the invoice or case materials disclosure form for the patient's
records. It is anticipated that a unique barcode will need to be
generated for each case and shipment date. Labs that provide
services to the USA will need to register with the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) to obtain their UID. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Whenever your national or
local government issues regulations regarding the production of work based on
dental prescriptions, we ask that you let us know so that we can determine if
new measures of software support will be needed. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Having seen the success of DentaLab for QuickBooks, a number of other vendors began to advertise that their laboratory case management software integrated with QuickBooks or was compatible with QuickBooks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when reviewing the alternatives, a number of labs have asked us this question:</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is integration with QuickBooks the same as synchronization?<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The answer emphatically is:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">No</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

In our legacy systems, this was the only choice and required very careful, often manual, coordination between the two systems and remembering to integrate at the correct times. Intuit has not dropped the use of IIF files, but discourages it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Almost all of the features of DentaLab for QuickBooks (DQB) are intuitive and very easy to learn and use. We find, however, that labs that have not had experience in scheduling cases with software often need extra coaching to help them get started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This topic will discuss what information is needed, how items and tasks are scheduled for a case and the variety of possibilities for handling case management.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will see there are very few requirements but tuning in to the options can lead to very efficient scheduling that serves to develop a case just the way the doctor wants it as well as assuring that it is returned in time for the patient visit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
