De mondzorg verandert snel. Steeds meer praktijken sluiten zich aan bij ketens om betere zorg te bieden, moderne werkplekken te creëren en toekomstbestendig te worden. Maar wie een overname of fusie van dichtbij heeft meegemaakt, weet hoe weerbarstig dit is. Nieuwe protocollen, verschillende systemen en onduidelijke communicatie zorgen vaak voor ruis en onzekerheid. Medewerkers vragen zich af wat de veranderingen voor hén betekenen, ervaren minder werkplezier of verlaten zelfs de praktijk. Praktijkmanagers balanceren tussen ketenbeleid, HR-uitdagingen en dagelijkse operatie. En ondertussen moet de kwaliteit van zorg hoog blijven en wil iedereen vooral rust en duidelijkheid. MedicPlek helpt mondzorgketens om groei en integratie soepel te laten verlopen zonder verlies van mensen of kwaliteit. ✅ Versnelde integratie & één centrale werkwijze – Alle communicatie, documenten en taken komen samen op één platform. Teams werken met dezelfde actuele informatie, waardoor dubbel werk en fouten worden voorkomen. ✅ Behoud van medewerkers en kennis – Transparantie en structuur geven vertrouwen. Medewerkers voelen zich gehoord en betrokken, waardoor verloop en de hoge kosten van werving en inwerken worden voorkomen. ✅ Continuïteit & kwaliteitsborging – Met functie-specifieke onboarding en automatische herhaling van protocollen blijft kennis op peil en werken teams volgens de nieuwste richtlijnen. ✅ Meer rust voor patiëntenzorg – Minder interne hectiek betekent meer focus op de stoel, hogere patiënttevredenheid en een positieve werkcultuur. ✅ Actieve betrokkenheid meten & verbeteren – Met slimme gesprekken (Inzichtsmodule) weet je precies wat er speelt en kun je gerichte verbeteringen doorvoeren. Het resultaat? Rust, continuïteit en betrokken teams, precies wat nodig is om de belofte van betere mondzorg waar te maken, óók tijdens groei en verandering. ➡ Bezoek onze stand E17 en ontdek hoe MedicPlek ketens helpt om verandering menselijker én efficiënter te maken.

The family-owned company from Eschenburg impressed the jury in the medium-sized category with its systematic, science-based innovation strategy and deeply embedded innovation culture. The TOP 100 Award is based on a rigorous scientific evaluation led by Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke of the Vienna University of Economics and Business. More than 100 criteria are assessed, including innovation-driven leadership, corporate culture, structured innovation processes and the strategic use of digital technologies. The award ceremony will take place on June 26, 2026, at the German SME Summit in Heidelberg, mentored by former German President Christian Wulff. Innovation has been part of Kettenbach’s DNA for decades. In 1955, the company developed the world’s first silicone-based impression material, setting a milestone in dentistry. This pioneering mindset continues to guide the development of high-quality solutions in prevention, restoration and impression materials. The focus remains clear: intelligent, user-friendly products that support dental professionals in their daily work. A defined strategic direction from management plays a key role. Kettenbach continuously evolves its portfolio to anticipate market developments and respond proactively. Since May 2025, Managing Director Tabea Fey has been leading the company with a strong focus on user needs and practical solutions. For Kettenbach, innovation means identifying challenges early and translating them into smart, practice-oriented products. Innovation at Kettenbach is a team effort. Interdisciplinary project teams collaborate within a structured matrix organization, supported by systematic idea management and continuous user feedback. At the same time, the company is advancing the digitalization of internal processes to reduce complexity and create space for new ideas.

Staff Management: The checklist for new employees now immediately shows when someone has started, and you can filter by active colleagues. This allows you to see at a glance which files have priority. Scheduling and Daily Operations: Team members without administrative rights now have a read-only view in the schedule calendar, while managers retain all editing controls. This keeps the schedule secure and transparent for everyone. On the node dashboard, a redesigned widget bundles upcoming maintenance and meetings into clear cards, including alerts for upcoming events. You can immediately see who is coming and which rooms or devices are associated with them. Documentation: Clear Dutch manuals have been added for API integrations, meetings, and setting up tablets or kiosks. This allows users to find answers to frequently asked questions more quickly. The Progressive Web App has redesigned icons for various devices, so Dentalbase also looks sharp on tablets and smartphones. Checklist tasks are more readable and now automatically track who has checked off a task. Corresponding logbooks store this information, ensuring clear follow-up. Dentalbase has quickly developed into an even more user-friendly platform. Practices benefit from better staff control, smarter scheduling, automated compliance checks, and clear documentation. This leaves more time for quality patient care and less time for administrative research.

- Een collega weet niet wáár het protocol staat. - Een taak wordt vergeten, omdat niemand eigenaarschap voelt. - De werkwijze is ooit afgesproken, maar leeft niet meer in het team. - En bij een audit moet alles ad hoc worden verzameld – stress gegarandeerd. Herkenbaar? Je bent niet de enige. Iets op papier zetten, betekent nog niet dat het werkt in de praktijk. Een takenlijst aanmaken betekent nog geen eigenaarschap. “We hebben het ooit gemaild” is geen basis voor duurzame kwaliteit. En een systeem dat alleen registreert, maar niet écht verbindt, verandert weinig. Daarom werken steeds meer praktijken met MediQflow op het platform van MedicPlek. Niet als extra tool, maar als één centrale werkomgeving waarin werkprocessen, communicatie en kwaliteitsborging samenkomen. ✅ Handboeken & protocollen op maat MediQflow biedt complete (klinische) protocollen, checklists en werkinstructies die je eenvoudig aanpast voor jouw praktijk. ✅ Taken die écht opgevolgd worden Taken zijn gekoppeld aan heldere processen met duidelijke eigenaars. Geen losse afvinklijstjes meer, maar zichtbaar eigenaarschap en leiderschap in het team. ✅ Communicatie die werkt Via het sociaal intranet blijf je op de hoogte van updates, nieuwe werkwijzen en meldingen. Geen losse memo’s of extra communicatietools, wél overzicht. ✅ Grip op projecten & kwaliteit Werk in groepen, deel documenten en communiceer via tijdlijn of chat voor optimaal overzicht. ✅ Wet- & regelgeving aantoonbaar geborgd Voer wijzigingen snel en efficiënt door, zonder onnodig tijdverlies of stress. ✅ Zelfstandig werkende teams Heldere taken en automatisch terugkerende checklists maken teams zelfstandiger en ontlasten de praktijkmanager. Een unieke combinatie! In plaats van losse tools krijg je met MediQflow & MedicPlek één geïntegreerde werkplek. Dat creëert niet alleen kwaliteit, maar vooral: rust en werkplezier in jouw praktijk. ➡ Bezoek onze stand E17 en ontdek hoe ook jouw praktijk kan profiteren.
