IT Challenge
IT Challenge Logically provides managed services for La Costa Dental Group, by supporting their secure server, and desktops, along with their dental management software and imaging suites. In addition, the practice is HIPAA compliant and utilizes a secure firewall. In March, 2020, the pandemic forced the office to close the clinical dental office for two months. Thanks to Logically, La Costa Dental Group was already set up for administrators to work remotely.
In fact, the dentists in the practice already had direct access to patient records for emergency calls. “When the pandemic first hit, the world and how we worked changed,” said Glenda Collatos. “It was clear that Logically was there for us during that difficult time and also supported us when we reopened in May. Our ability to communicate with our patients through texts, emails and appointment reminders helped us communicate effectively and navigate the challenges of the pandemic,” added Ms. Collatos. La Costa Dental Group communicates with Logically monthly. Logically provides comprehensive analysis, recommendations for HIPAA compliance and growth with state-of-the-art technology. Through collaboration with Logically, La Costa Dental Group offers patients a tool to communicate with the office through an online secure environment. In fact, La Costa Dental Group’s practice is now essentially 95% electronic.
