Ensuring Data Ownership and Security: The Henry Schein One API Advantage

There’s a common misconception that when DSOs use Henry Schein One's API, they don’t own their data. This just isn't correct. DSOs maintain control over their data through the securely hosted data repository – designed with top-tier security to ensure your information remains safe.  

Data security should always be one of our organization’s top priorities since the consequences of a data breach are severe in the healthcare space. And if the Change Healthcare cyber incident doesn’t have you reconsidering how you prioritize security, consider this: cyber breaches doubled from 2018 to 2022, and ransomware attacks surged 278%[1]. 

Dentrix Ascend is the first cloud-based practice management system that meets SOC 2 Type II Compliance standards. This cutting-edge solution helps protect against data breaches and offers a secure audit trail for prescriptions, treatments, and records.  

SOC 2 Type II auditing report standards have been developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to elevate data security. These standards are critical to ensuring top-notch information security (InfoSec) safeguards across vendors’ IT systems and adhering to vendor-customer contracts. 

Henry Schein One also protects your data with secure API access. When you use a dental software with a secure API, you can: 

• Export data: Extract your patient records, financial data, and other information in a standardized format.
• Import data: Bring in data from other sources, such as new users, new providers, new appointments, new notes, and medical alerts.
• Connect to third-party applications: Integrate your dental practice with various tools to streamline your operations. Doing this via API keeps the data secure and up to date.
