MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the world's largest
provider of health care products and services to office-based
dental, medical and animal health practitioners, today announced
the launch of "Viive," a new dental practice management software
for the Apple Mac computer.

Viive (pronounced "Vive") features a patient-centric
workflow on a simple and clean platform to manage dental
practices. The new workflow takes advantage of the Mac
operating system to provide access to all available management
tools directly from one patient screen, streamlining task
management to a single click.
Charts, ledgers, and other tasks are completed faster and more
simply by eliminating the need to switch between modules.
"Viive has a very aesthetic, clean, beautiful look. Its
patient-centric approach makes it easy to gain access to
information, charts and management tools," said Dr. Derek Fine, a Viive user practicing in
Denville, NJ.
Another reason for Viive's speed is its powerful 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.
"One of the largest benefits of Viive is its backing by
Henry Schein, which guarantees
continued development of advanced features that integrate the
office technology," said Kevin
Bunker, President and General Manager of Henry Schein
Practice Solutions. "It also ensures that users will receive
the highest level of customer service."
"With more dentists choosing the Mac platform, Viive will become
an important foundation for the integrated digital Mac office," Mr.
Bunker added.
Viive was built directly on the Mac OS X platform, providing the
user with the same robust, simple features already built into the
Mac operating system.
"I love Mac computers because of their elegance, combined with
simplicity and ease of use. Henry
Schein successfully captured that balance in the Viive
practice management system," said Liz
Alexander, an office manager based in Doylestown, PA.
The Viive Practice Management system will be launched with a
number of equipment partnerships that ensure a comprehensive
imaging solution and integration of core technologies. These
include: Planmeca, digital x-ray and imaging; Digital Doc intraoral
cameras; and Acteon dental imaging equipment.
