Record keeping - surely it can't be that difficult?
Friday 5 November 2021 | ONLINE
Covering the essential do's and don'ts in record keeping
This
live workshop session explores current best practice for record
keeping. The consequences of not keeping good records will be
demonstrated.
What should we be recording? How can discussions be
recorded? You will find out how to implement effective processes which
can be followed, with confidence, by the whole dental team.
Learning aims
To provide delegates with an interactive
review of clinical record keeping from a dento-legal perspective
balancing up the time it takes to make good, comprehensive and
contemporaneous notes with the practical realities of treating patients
in practice.
Learning objectives
By the end of this event delegates should be able to:
- Recognise why record keeping is necessary and what purpose it serves
- Appreciate the challenges faced in making good records
-
Reflect on record keeping and standards for particular clinical
disciplines such as periodontology, restorative care, oral surgery and
pain appointments
- Understand the limitations of templates and custom screen with record keeping.
Please
note: this is a live and interactive online event. It will not be
recorded and it will not be possible to view on-demand afterwards.
