About optimal configuration

Optimal configuration is the recommended combination of Vello features. Optimal configuration is recommended as the standard setup for each practice because the features increase visits and diagnostic compliance.

Vello operates best when important features operate together. The combination of important features that operate together is optimal configuration. Optimal configuration is easy to configure, and you see the results early on. For example, optimal configuration gives your practice these advantages:
  • Clients complete more visits
  • Clients agree to more diagnostic tests
  • Clients are prepared when they come to your practice
  • Staff do less manual work, because there is a decrease in phone calls and missed appointments
This table shows:
