Dental IT and security
Challenge
The practice depended on imaging workstations, front-desk scheduling, insurance workflows, and email. Small technical issues were interrupting appointments, while backup visibility and account security did not match the sensitivity of patient data.
What PBM implemented
- Stabilized critical workstations and documented the dental software, imaging, and vendor support environment.
- Reviewed Microsoft 365 security and enabled stronger account protection for front-desk and administrative users.
- Set up backup monitoring and a recovery checklist for practice management data and key office documents.
- Coordinated with dental software and hardware vendors so support issues had a clear owner and escalation path.
- Created a practical maintenance rhythm for patching, endpoint protection, and workstation health checks.
Results
- Fewer appointment-day technology interruptions
- Clear vendor escalation process
- Improved account security
- Backup monitoring in place
- Workstations standardized
- Staff had one IT support contact
