CAESY Education Systems, Inc., dentistry's number one choice for patient education, will introduce CAESY Online in July of 2003. CAESY Online is a service that provides the most comprehensive, high-quality patient education content available and easy-to-use online communication tools for dentists with websites. Doctors can subscribe to the service for $59 a month. “Researching health topics is one of the leading reasons why consumers use the Internet,” says Bob Rondeau DMD, President and CEO of CAESY Education Systems, Inc. “With CAESY Online, dentists can stay at the center of their patients’ online research. Patients researching their options expect to find extensive information. Doctors who want patient education on their website won’t find a more complete aggregate of information than what is offered through CAESY Online. And because all the content is based on CAESY, they can be confident that the information provided is accurate and complete.
“There’s also the matter of how much effort it takes to create even a small amount of patient education,” he continues. “A busy dentist doesn’t have that kind of time. CAESY Online solves this problem by providing thoroughly researched and professionally written content, which can be appended directly to a doctor’s site.”
CAESY Online, (which is based on an earlier CAESY product, the Internet Communication Suite), has a completely new look and feel and is streamlined for even more convenience and ease of use.
CAESY Online gives dental practices a quick and affordable way to stay in regular touch with their patients, through email. Another feature is SmileLink, a professionally-written dental health newsletter created by CAESY each month. The doctor sends SmileLink to patients via email. It’s branded with the doctor’s practice information and can be customized to include the office’s special offers, as well as other articles. “Printing and mailing a paper-based newsletter can cost thousands of dollars every month,” says Rondeau. “But SmileLink, because it is delivered through email and incurs no printing or postage costs, is a cost-effective alternative for any practice.”
In addition to the patient education content and SmileLink, CAESY Online also includes a Patient Message Center, where dentists can manage their email database and send bulk or targeted emails; DentalHealthRX, a section where “prescriptions” can be created for patients to let them know how to access information specific to their treatment from the doctor’s website; and Dental Health Guides, where full-color e-pamphlets that support CAESY presentations can be sent to patients via email.
“CAESY Online gives doctors a proactive and cost-effective way to educate their patients and communicate with them via the Internet,” says Rondeau.
CAESY Education Systems, Inc. has been dentistry's premiere developer of leading-edge patient education technology and content since 1994. The award-winning multimedia information on preventive, restorative and esthetic treatment options helps dental practices nationwide educate their patients and grow their practices. The CAESY content is distributed via computer networks or DVD players throughout the clinical and reception areas of the dental practice.
