PM Session: Dental Recordkeeping – Back to Basics
Category 1 – 3 CE Credits
Speakers: RCDSO
Description:
Professional, ethical and legal responsibilities require that a complete chart and record documenting all aspects of each patient’s dental care be maintained. A detailed chart accurately records the patient’s dental condition when first presenting at the office, assists and supports a proper diagnosis and treatment planning, and provides a clear description of the patient’s ongoing care. Good records are also the dentist’s best defence in the event of a formal complaint or lawsuit. In this presentation, RCDSO representatives offer guidance and practical advice in understanding the dental recordkeeping requirements in Ontario.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand and appreciate the reasons for keeping good patient records
- Describe the requirements for various components of a complete chart
- Identify problem areas and take advantage of helpful tips to keeping better patient records
