I read posts from Crown Council members, and now and again I'll call in DentalTown, to see what topics are hot. I do this to get the pulsing of the commercial enterprise and breakthrough out what issues are at the forefront.

You should be doing this as well, but be sounding in disparate media. In separate words, you should be sounding in the regional newspaper, observation the local communication and so on. There are opportunities for you to "fold into" your commerce diagram on an all but time period spring that will pinch your "pitch" or "ad message" and turn around it into more "news," so making it more than decipherable and even more palatable!

The Crown Council exchange cards is an out of the ordinary media. There is a lot of relationship and a lot of opinionative folks out at hand (which is why it is interesting!).

Recently, in attendance were one posts going on for storing digital files - specifically photos - on the machine networks of the department. This reminded me of a new problem that crept up in my department.

Let me prelude this by saying: "Your patient of list is ALL you've really got and ALL you genuinely demand." If your place burns down, your backup all leave, your dog gets hit by a car (or all of these in the said week!) and so on, as overnight as you have your lenient list, you have a conglomerate. You are frozen IN enterprise. In fact, all that sounds approaching a united states dry unit of malodourous lemons, but I know of respective business concern people, dentists included, that have had those or matching material possession appear and have recovered, upcoming rear stronger than ever!

Now, the ingredient of this posting: What unneeded (back-ups of back-ups) do you have in plant to conserve your patient info and their os files?

My scheme is this (after having been through with part and support roughly a twelvemonth ago): Have at slightest 3 unneeded back-ups. I had two because I was paranoid, but hypothesis what, once the back-up saves terminated the back-up (dumb recreational mistake!) and the new back-up is gangrenous with a infectious agent and you mislay all of your assemblage... your static out of company.

Have a UPS artillery unit backup. They are $100 at most. Then, have an online resource back-up your computing device background. Then, have an off setting keeping that is updated weekly or sooner that contains your diligent accumulation. Also, hang on to a latched fail-safe location with the said data in it. This is all twopenny-halfpenny to do and can set free you so by a long way in pain, agony, labor and gone slumber. I cognize. Take it from me. RE-creating a overflowing month's worthy of data was all it took to make me a admirer in too unnecessary information processing system back-ups.

If you don't deprivation to do it, leasing a electronic computer geek (here in Salem, they have a "Rent-A-Geek" joint venture) and put them on a $150 a period of time retainer to come with in and manufacture convinced it's set-up, finished the right way and will put aside you if necessary!

Action-To-Take Tip: See above and DO NOT WAIT. Do it today!
