Henry Schein develops PM software for the Mac

Henry Schein has launched Viive, a new practice management (PM) software package for the Apple Mac computer.

Viive features a patient-centric workflow which provides access to management tools from one patient screen, streamlining task management to a single click, according to the company. Charts, ledgers, and other tasks are completed without the need to switch between modules.

Viive also features a PostgreSQL database, which loads charts and dental images almost instantly, synchronizes records in real-time, and allows updates to the same patient record from the front and back office simultaneously.

Viive was built directly on the Mac OS X platform. It will be launched with equipment partnerships that include Planmeca digital x-ray and imaging, Digital Doc intraoral cameras, and Acteon dental imaging equipment, according to Schein.
