kumoDent™ Streamlines Patient Management & Dental Education at Mahsa University

Before implementing kumoDent™, the Faculty of Dentistry at Mahsa University faced several operational challenges, including:

• Misplaced or incomplete patient folders, which disrupted clinical sessions and made retrieving patient treatment histories difficult.
• Time-consuming manual registration processes, requiring significant administrative manpower.
• Limited collaboration between students, support staff, and lecturers due to non-centralised records.
• Inefficient access to X-rays and supporting documents, which were stored physically or across multiple sources.

Following the introduction of kumoDent™, the Faculty has seen remarkable improvements in both dental education and patient management.

Professor Dato’ Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim Abu Hassan FASc, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, praised its user-friendly design, noting that it addresses past challenges with paper-based patient records, where folders were often misplaced. With all documents securely stored in the cloud, patient management has become safer and more efficient. The registration features save significant time and manpower, and centralised records make accessing patient treatment histories effortless. Professor Dato’ Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim Abu Hassan recommends kumoDent™ to colleagues transitioning to a digital patient management system, emphasising its effectiveness and value for money.

Associate Professor Dr. G. Padmanabha Kumar, Deputy Dean, highlighted that kumoDent™ has streamlined administrative tasks and enhanced students’ learning experiences through its user-friendly, paperless, and digitally driven record-keeping features. It facilitates case tracking and collaboration between patients, students, and doctors, allowing instructors and students to discuss cases seamlessly.

With cloud-based accessibility, support staff, students, and doctors can easily enter patient data, perform follow-ups, and manage all related tasks, while real-time updates also support remote learning. Dr. Padmanabha Kumar added that kumoDent™’s internationally recommended case sheets make work faster and easier, and he strongly recommends the system to doctors, universities, colleges, and clinics for its efficiency and cost-saving benefits.

Associate Professor Dr. Prathap Chandar Manivannan, Head of the Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, explained that facilitating large numbers of students and patients was previously difficult due to misplaced folders and complicated data retrieval. With kumoDent™, reliable electronic medical records have greatly improved faculty operations. He noted that the system is suitable for all generations and easy for faculty to adopt, recommending it to other institutes, colleges, and both private and public clinics.

Dr. Anissa, Senior Lecturer, agreed that clinical case notes are now far more efficient, with improved storage and accessibility compared to the old physical files. Students also find it easier to record and retrieve patient information, including X-rays, using the software’s search functions. kumoDent™ has simplified clinical sessions and enhanced learning, earning strong recommendations from both faculty and students alike.
