title: Increase efficiency and decrease stress.
abstract: We have covered the benefits of using three key communication systems, including the lighting (or digital) system, placing patient's charts in a holding area at the front desk, and the importance of using and discarding your telephone slip. The more a practice can systematically organize operations, the more quality time is left for patient communication and service.
