Patient Rewards
Use the Patient Rewards feature of your Edge Cloud system to calculate points and track rewards you offer as incentive to motivate patient attendance, treatment cooperation, oral hygiene, and more.
Patients can trade the points they earn by completing common treatment activities for prizes from your office. This use of positive reinforcement helps motivate patients to be prompt to their appointments, scheduling their next appointment while in the office, filling out online forms, and even keeping their six-month dental checkup.
It’s easy to start using this system with every patient, including recall patients. Patients use customized cards to keep track of their points each time they sign in. But don’t worry about lost cards – points are tracked in Edge Cloud.
