Top 10 Risk Areas: A Checklist for Improving Your Practice

To help determine if, and where, risk areas exist at your dental practice, we have created a Top 10 Risk Areas Checklist.

Posted in Risk Management on Tuesday, January 31, 2017

What are the top 10 areas of risk in your dental practice? Could your practice be exposed?

To help determine if, and where, risk areas exist at your dental practice, we have created a Top 10 Risk Areas Checklist.  

By answering checklist questions such as, “Do you regularly use informed consent forms?” and “Do you have procedures for handling medical emergencies in your office” you can pinpoint potential practice weaknesses and discover solutions to lower that risk.

To learn more about risk management techniques, visit our Dental Risk Management webpage. Here, you will find information to help you gain insight, reduce exposure to claims and manage various aspects of a practice.

The Dental Risk Management page also contains access to sample forms which can be customized for your office, archived copies of our newsletters, blogs on current topics of interest, access to webinars and much more – including the Checklist: Top 10 Risk Areas.
