Learn To Surf ... The Internet!

Well, it's everywhere. Those funny addresses... "WWW-dot-this-dot that". The good news? Surfing the net isn't hard at all. Major internet providers make installation of the communications software simple, and browsers such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator will auto-configure just about everything. You don't even have to remember your favorite site's URL (unique record locator), just leave a "bookmark" and you can return again by selecting a menu option.

It seems everyone and his brother has a web page,(no lie... my brother's is called "Page O'Bill") and ACC will soon be no exception. This winter, you can visit Dental Office Manager II on the Web. Site plans include product information, FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions), hardware news and more. If you have any ideas on what YOU would like to see at our site, E-Mail us at dom2@dom2.com

MAKE AN INVESTMENT ... IN COMPUTER TRAINING

The payoff gained makes time spent on computer training one of the best investments around. Not only can you get more out of your system, but your learning curve will be a lot shorter! Classes in your computer's operating system can help you configure your system for maximum performance and troubleshoot situations that come up. Desktop publishing courses can show you how to layout that office brochure, patient registration form, or phone slip you've been wanting. Multimedia courses can help you create patient education and treatment presentations.

Courses are offered at local colleges, through adult education programs, and at computer "Superstores" such as CompUSA, Best Buy, etc.

Starting in 1997, Applied Computer Concepts will after quarterly training seminars on the Dental Office Manager II software. Topics include everything from the basics on Dental Office Manager II operation to advance subjects such as electronic scheduling, reimbursement tracking, and collections management. Learn how to customize the Dental Office Manager II to suit your individual needs. Watch your mail for details.

IMPROVE YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE ... ADD A WORKSTATION

If your office has trouble with "traffic" at the front desk, another workstation can solve the bottleneck, and get your patients checked out twice as fast. Also, an additional workstation can improve significantly in your office. You can print statements, recall cards or other long jobs on one machine... and continue checking patients out, posting insurance payments, etc. on the other.

Remember, Dental Office Manager II is a true multi-user application ... it can support up to 256 simultaneous users. This means that each workstation can access your data for any task at the same time.

Prices on hardware continue to drop, and you get more computer now for your dollar than ever. This may be the perfect time to add a workstation, or upgrade your existing hardware.

For around $3,000-$4,000 you can get a PowerMac 7200 workstation, or a Dell 2OOmhz Pentium workstation, with 32MB RAM, a HP DeskJet Color printer, UPS unit and Iomega Zip drive for backups. Monthly lease payments would run between $90 to $120 ... call ACC for more information.
