Course Description:
Professional, legal and ethical responsibilities require that dentists maintain complete records documenting all aspects of the patient’s dental care. The chart “tells the story”, beginning with the patient’s medical and dental history, continuing through diagnostic procedures and diagnosis, consent to treatment and treatment plan, and on to progress notes and referral documents. Charting is, quite simply, part of care.
These Dental Recordkeeping courses offer practical advice for understanding the dental recordkeeping requirements in Ontario and how to incorporate them into daily practice.
-
Fundamentals of Dental Recordkeeping grounds participants in the critical principles and elements of patient records, increasing their knowledge and comprehension.
-
Applied Dental Recordkeeping provides an opportunity for participants to apply the principles to a range of case scenarios, solidifying learning and building confidence.
