One Step Closer to a Paperless Office

Very cool. I just received my new Microtek ScanWizard Scanner with a 100 page ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). My staff can now, finally, take all of the paper in our overflowing charts and start to scan them into patient folders in PaperPort for the time being. Being a Denticon user, I am waiting for the ability to do this directly into Denticon. This should be happening in the very near future.

Another new product is OrthoProof USA. This company will scan your preliminary impressions and create a three dimensional digital model viewable on the Internet or in your office. Still a bit costly at around $29.95 but worth it in certain circumstances. Once this becomes main line hopefully the cost will come down where we can start scanning ALL of our impressions and stop storing these models in space in our office that should be used for other purposes.
