-Sensei Cloud also comes with these integrated Patient Solutions-

Save money and time while reducing errors and ensuring patient satisfaction. Plus, eClaims are HIPAA compliant, reduce paper waste and meet contactless guidelines.

eVerifications

eVerifications allow you to verify insurance benefits and coverage for treatment in real-time. Spend less time on the phone with insurance companies to spend more time with patients.

ePrescriptions

Submit electronic prescriptions from your practice management software quickly, accurately and securely to your patient’s pharmacy. Verified to meet federal and state mandates for electronic prescriptions...

of controlled substances (EPCS), ePrescriptions seamlessly integrate with your software, streamlining your prescription workflow and saving time for you and your patients. Patient Forms Though some health restrictions from the past few years have been relaxed, many precautions remain—and some patients have come to prefer these safety measures. Carestream Dental’s Patient Forms facilitate a faster, contactless appointment check-in process by allowing patients to complete forms online before their visit. Digital Patient Forms is available to Sensei Cloud users and SoftDent and OrthoTrac on-premise and hosted users. -Additional Integrated Features- Sensei Imaging Enjoy diagnostic, browser-based imaging tools to see and do more for patients. Sensei Imaging from Carestream Dental is the connection between your patient images and the rest of your clinical data in the cloud without changing your existing modern imaging hardware. Sensei Imaging also provides budget predictability—for securely storing 2D and 3D images and when it comes to maintenance costs—giving you the freedom to increase your imaging services for your patients without penalty. -Integrated Patient Engagement and Payments- Patient Manager Patient Manager allows offices to generate more revenue by efficiently communicating and engaging with their patients in their preferred methods, streamlining office check-ins and optimizing patient satisfaction. Offices can utilize a wide array of key features and functionalities such as two-way texting, including images; reputation management tools; appointment reminders with traffic notifications; new patient acquisition tools; and website build-outs. Patient Manager was built to seamlessly integrate with your Carestream Dental practice management software, allowing your practice to enhance the patient experience life cycle, from acquisition to continued engagement. Payment Manager Payment Manager, a Sensei product, equips the modern practice with the latest technology to provide flexibility in receiving payment however your patients want to pay. Providing modern equipment and the reassurance of security and support through integration with Carestream Dental’s Sensei Cloud solution is bringing your practice into the digital world.

Pros:
The integration process was okay but we had to do alot of old information deletion leading up to the switch. I did not expect it to be anything like our old software but I expected a less flawed softeware. There were and still are many things that were promised to be implemented and have not been. They are updating regularly but so much more can be done.
Cons:
Provider production/collection don't seem accurate. Financial reports are not easy to create or read. I have been hearing about "Sticky Notes" and "Combined Family Billing" coming since we started in Oct 2021 and that still hasn't happened yet. Still has a flawed Bulk payment feature since it was implemented and it has not been repaired yet. The ease of flow, common sense items and basic billing necessities just aren't there.

Reasons for choosing Sensei Cloud

Because switching to another Carestream product seemed to make the most sense.

Reasons for switching to Sensei Cloud

We had alot of data in Practiceworks due to two office combinations. In re-evaluating the software after we deleted so much, we could have stayed with the old software but we were too far in. Some aspects we were sold on, we were told last minute that those things were not yet available.

Vendor Response

Hi Kelly, I am so sorry you are not having a good experience with our product. Family billing was released late last year, so if you want training, please get in touch with me privately. We can also look into the issue of the bulk payment to see if it is a system error or if additional training is required. Most of our customers have found the process flow to be an improvement to other dental practice management software, and we would love your feedback on your usability experience to see if there is room for improvement.

We have not been with Sensei Cloud long but so far, I can see the e service products saving much time in verifying insurance information, submitting claims, computing out of pockets, sending prescriptions. Managing lab cases is very nice.

Pros:
Integration is never easy when implementing a new system. That being said, it has not been that difficult and actually went better than I expected. There are quirky things that we are learning, but the support has been very helpful and very quick. The more that we are using Sensei Cloud, the more features we are finding. The e service products (claims, prescriptions, insurance verifications etc) are very nice as we were mostly doing this manually before.
Cons:
The information that was converted from the old system did not seem to be as much as we would have liked. We came from Soft Dent which is from Carestream as well, and I would have like to have seen the two programs communicate more and transfer more information

Reasons for choosing Sensei Cloud

As we were with Soft Dent already, the cost of converting to a new CareStream product was much less than purchasing a new system. We were hoping that since it was part of CareStream that more information would convert easily between the two systems.

Reasons for switching to Sensei Cloud

The system that we had before had not been updated in approximately 20 years (maybe more) There are many functions available on Sensei that were not available on Soft Dent.

I use Sensei for 8 hours a day 5 days a week- my entire job is both Sensei, Patient Manager and creating spreadsheets- I have very few complaints and would recommend Sensei to any office looking to make the change over. I've trained a couple employees on basic tasks such as scheduling appointments, creating insurance claims and treatment plans and I've never had any difficulty as the software itself is very user friendly.

Pros:
I love that Sensei is constantly wondering what they can do to improve the software whether that's through The Exchange, the "Submit Feedback" function where I can vote on other user's recommendations, or calls with staff like [sensitive content hidden] to help review the software, calls with [sensitive content hidden] from Patient Manager, or visits from [sensitive content hidden] regarding imaging. The CareStream staff has been incredibly helpful and we appreciate the kindness that is shown to us during these calls/visits.
Cons:
The only recommendations I have for the software are small adjustments, most of which I was able to go over with Brande and she was able to help me find answers for. The remaining notes I would be happy to submit through the User Feedback Site.

Pros:
Cloud access and updated feel. ePrescriptions
Cons:
This program feels like it was designed without a single dentist's input. While it is probably a great program for a new dentist starting out, there is no ability to customize the program. Certain workflows have limitations that you cannot override (ex. giving a courtesy to a patient with credit, transferring balances among family members). There are ZERO long term business analytics.

Reasons for switching to Sensei Cloud

Was told SoftDent was being "sunsetted"

Vendor Response

Dr. Colleen, I am so sorry you are not having a good experience with our product. Reporting enhancements are coming this year to assist in business analytics. Additionally, you will be able to transfer balances among family billing with the release of a family billing feature.

Too many lumps , not ready for primetime time

In 30+yrs, this is the WORST management decision I have ever made. I feel like we are their guinea pigs. There is WAY too much wrong to fix in short order. After 3 weeks , we are aborting back to Pworks till the dust settles then we will look elsewhere. BTW, back in the day, we were Beta testers for Pworks 5.0 and the office has been computerized since 1980 with Commodore 64s and Premier from AG Florian.

Pros:
Office manager likes claims handling, billing options
Cons:
Everything else. Between my Office manager and 2 receptionists, there is over 105yrs of experience in the profession. These are the top of the topshelf workers. I have a mutiny on my hands and have never seen a new piece of software, equipment, etc destroy moral as fast as Sensei has and they spent a month online practicing. Buffering is slow. It doesn't save things then you find 4 copies the next day. Can't delete templates etc as you learn...just inactivate, etc. Complete modules don't work!!! Stupid things like "acquire a new image" to open imaging to view films.

Reasons for choosing Sensei Cloud

We wanted to stay in the carestream fold for bridging, data transfer reasons. Narrow minded on our part for sure

Reasons for switching to Sensei Cloud

Pworks is a dinosaur and Sensei looked good on paper. Now I know why they waited 2 yrs to roll it out to their existing Carestream customers.
