Course Description

Risk is everywhere. As a dentist that served as Chairman of the Board of a local not for profit hospital, I observed first-hand the benefits of the quality improvement principles as they applied to medicine and the hospital environment. Quality improvement principles work very efficiently and effectively to improve the systems of operation and reduce risk when adopted in the dental environment as well. Application of these principles in dental practices has ultimately resulted in more streamlined systems of operation, increased job satisfaction, improved treatment outcomes and elevated overall patient satisfaction. The purpose of this presentation is to share the principles of quality improvement and to empower the dental team to adopt and implement these principles making what we do easier and better.

Course Objectives

To understand the principles of quality improvement
To appreciate that the implementation of quality improvement systems will improve patient outcomes, increase revenue, and reduce stress in the dental environment.
To be able to implement the principles of quality improvement into the everyday practice of dentistry.
