AM Session: Fundamentals of Dental Recordkeeping
Category 1 – 4 CE Credits
Speakers: Dr. Bahrami and Dr. McDermott (RCDSO)
Audience: Dentists and Dental Staff
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. The RCDSO’s Dental Recordkeeping courses offer practical advice for understanding the dental recordkeeping requirements in Ontario and how to incorporate them into daily practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the six components of a patient record that must be included to satisfy professional, legal and ethical expectations for documentation.
- Describe the content that must be included in each of the areas of the patient’s record.
- Identify opportunities to strengthen their own practice and apply the fundamental principles of dental recordkeeping required to demonstrate they are practicing to the standard of care.
