Aspen Dental deployed its digital check-in system in all of its 820 nationwide offices June 30 to reduce its environmental impact and save time for dental staff and patients.
Patients will give their driver's license and insurance card to a dental staff member to scan, and the system will be auto-populated with their personal information in a matter of seconds. Patients will then review the information and electronically sign consent forms before their information is sent to the treatment room.
Time and motion studies from Aspen Dental offices that have used the digital check-in system show the technology has cut the average patient wait time by 15 minutes and eliminated more than 1,000 hours of nonpatient support time per office per year.
