CNA Dental Professional Liability Risk Management Online Course

Module1, Risk Management Essentials, contains the following sections: patient safety and risk management overview; dental claim trends; legal concepts; patient communication; the National Practitioner Databank; and patient termination/dismissal. This course is designed to provide you with the tools and information you need to meet the course objectives included in the course description

Module 2 will discuss the importance of an accurate, thorough and current medical history as an essential tool in providing quality dental care. Other topics in this module are shown here, including current clinical guidelines and recommendations for antibiotic premedication, dental radiographs, and dental treatment during pregnancy. Considerations related to the scope of dental practice and patients who may need urgent/emergency dental care are also covered in this module.

In this module, we discuss a number of topics on recordkeeping, documentation and related compliance issues. These range from essential clinical documentation, maintaining patient privacy and protecting record security, to electronic communications and challenges presented by the use of social media. While many practices still use paper records, a significant number of dental offices have completely or partially transitioned to electronic health records. Many others are preparing to do so or are in the process of making this transition. This module covers a number of technology-related risk management considerations, along with those that apply universally.

Module 4 of the CNA risk management course focuses on managing injuries and adverse events. While adverse events may relate to several areas of a dental practice such as patient care, property and equipment, personnel, and operations, this module will concentrate on several points related to patient care injuries and adverse events. Topics will include medical emergencies, swallowed or aspirated objects, wrong site or wrong tooth surgeries and procedures, endodontic adverse events, treatment failure and trigeminal nerve injuries.
