6. Lack of Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC)
Does your hygienist need access to the practice’s financial tax documents? Does the front desk need to see the full clinical history of a patient from ten years ago?
The Risk: HIPAA requires "Minimum Necessary" access. Giving every user "Admin" rights is a major compliance failure and increases the damage a single compromised account can do.
The Fix:
- In OpenDental, use the User Groups feature to restrict access based on job description.
- Cost: We can jump in, clean up your user permissions, and ensure your database is locked down for a $150 flat fee. No contracts required.
7. Thinking IT Support Has to Be Expensive
The biggest mistake is avoiding IT help because you fear the "monthly contract" or the $250/hour billing surprises. Many practices limp along with broken tech because they don't want the financial headache.
The Risk: Delaying a fix leads to downtime. If your x-ray sensor driver fails on a Tuesday morning, and you spend four hours trying to Google the fix, you’ve lost thousands in billable production.
The Fix: Use a Direct Support model.
- No Contracts: You only pay when you have a problem.
- Transparent Pricing: Every issue: from an email glitch to a server error: is fixed for $150.
- U.S.-Based Experts: You talk to experienced technicians who understand dental IT support.
