From Chart to Chair: Mastering the Treatment Plan Process for Better Case Acceptance and Workflow Harmony
Course Description:
Case acceptance doesn’t start at the front desk, it starts in the chair. This full-team training dives deep into the treatment planning process by breaking it down into three essential stages: Enter & Organize, Present & Schedule, and Follow Up.
Each team member will walk away with clarity on their role, stronger handoff skills, and strategies for improving patient communication and scheduling. Using Dentrix as the foundation, this course will help your team create a treatment planning system that increases case acceptance, reduces confusion, and builds trust with every patient interaction.
