MacPractice Announces MacPractice DDS Sierra and El Capitan Compatibility

LINCOLN, Neb.—MacPractice now provides compatibility with macOS Sierra and El Capitan for MacPractice DDS practice management and clinical software for dentists. MacPractice has been compatible with El Capitan since December of 2015.

MacPractice uses an all-in-one design philosophy to assist practices to more easily house and protect their patient’s identity and health information. MacPractice collaborates with numerous third-party vendors to integrate Mac native products and services, such as digital imaging, e-claims, integrated network fax and integrated secure messaging, for enhanced practice productivity and efficiency. MacPractice also provides bridges to Windows solutions.

“We’ve always known that using Macs in a doctor’s office is a money-saving proposition because of quality, ease of use, dependability, etc., but we are very excited that IBM, which recently gave their employees the opportunity to choose their platform themselves, have concluded that PCs are 3X more expensive to manage than Macs,” said Mark Hollis, MacPractice’s CEO. “It is extremely challenging to keep up with Apple, but we are happy to deliver Sierra compatibility to dentists’ offices.”
 
MacPractice supports 30,000 users in 25 countries, who have been invited to participate in a controlled rollout of the new software to assure the quality and support of the update. MacPractice users’ annual fee includes all updates as well unlimited technical support by telephone, live chat, email or by messaging from within their software.

Dentists and staff who are the sole users of a Mac and who have an iWatch can configure Sierra so the operating system senses their proximity and logs them in or out.

While third-party products and services are compatible with El Capitan, they may not yet be compatible with Sierra. Therefore MacPractice recommends users verify the compatibility of all software and hardware before upgrading a MacPractice terminal to Sierra. The current release of MacPractice makes it possible for clients to use a heterogeneous network of Macs with El Capitan and/or Sierra. This will help some dentists upgrade without waiting for all vendors to provide compatibility for Sierra.

MacPractice online registration and EHR forms, online scheduling, and patient portal services are compatible with Sierra and MacPractice Patient Check In, MacPractice Clipboard and MacPractice iEHR Apps for iPad are compatible with iOS 10.
