Effective Immediately!
The California Dental Board has decided to eliminate the practical examination for Register Dental Assistants because RDA's "are under the full authority of the dentist when providing services and dentists are ultimately responsible to ensure the quality of that care, [so] RDAs pose a low risk for public harm." Successfully passing the written exam on clinical, law, and ethics will now be the final requirement to acquire a valid RDA license. All other educational requirements remain the same.
It is finally here, the new 2016 CDC Summary and Checklist for Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings! Every Dental Practice is at risk every single day of breaches in infection control. The CDC just released today the Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Seetings-Basic Expectations for Safe Care. This document includes several new recommendations and provides an assessment checklist to evaluate staff compliance. Contact me if you would like assistance in implementing the new recommendations in your practice. Click below to download the document from CDC.

Is your dental practice at risk of HIPAA Violations?
If you have not updated your HIPAA program to meet the 2013 Final Omnibus Rule, you are OUT OF COMPLIANCE!
I recommend The American Dental Association Practical Guide to HIPAA Compliance. It comes with sample policies and procedures; sample Business Associate Agreement; sample Notice of Privacy Practices in English and Spanish; glossary of key terms; and a digital version of the book so you can customize the forms for your practice. It also includes a training CD and updates for 3 yrs.
