Remote system can keep you in touch

Perception Software has announced new developments to its Perception practice management system. The company has introduced the rxLynk, a remote access software package, which it said was a 'real benefit' to practice owners and managers who wanted to work from home, or manage more than one practice. They could access their practice database via a telephone line, and deal with reminder letters, till reports, stock levels and all the other in-practice tasks. Director Barry Gardner explained: 'As we don't use an internet connection for this, users can be confident that their data is totally secure. rxLynk is the perfect solution for those who may want to work from home, or who need to get information from one of their other practices. Rather than telephoning or driving to the practice, owner/managers can get the data for themselves, saving a considerable amount of time and effort.' Another development is the Practice Till, a computerised cash register. 'There are a number of advantages to a computerised till over the usual electronic device,' added Gardner. 'Transactions can be linked to the patient database creating a full transaction history for each patient Ð a valuable marketing tool. Furthermore, a computerised system can help to reduce fraud, provide management reports, reduce accountancy fees, and, linked to the stock control system it can monitor stock and report when you need to re-order.'
