Teledentistry: Risk Management Considerations for Dentists
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4282″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, digital technology advancements, and the need for dentists to more readily consult with colleagues and specialty practices so they can ensure optimal patient outcomes are among the factors driving the expansion of telemedicine into dentistry in the form of teledentistry. Teledentistry involves the use of health information and telecommunications technology to deliver oral care, consultations, and education. As with many advancements, teledentistry carries both benefits and risks. Benefits include the ability to support patient care while mitigating COVID-19 transmission, and easier access to others’ expertise, so dentists and patients can make better treatment decisions; risks include professional liability claims and licensing board actions. To reap benefits and reduce risks, dentists need to follow best practices.
Reasons For Teledentistry
The need to increase access to dental care in underserved areas has led to the rise of new care models that incorporate telehealth technology, or teledentistry. Teledentistry includes the remote provision of dental treatment or advice using encrypted patient electronic data, via the use of electronic health records, videoconferencing, and/or intraoral photographs and radiographic images.Teledentistry can occur in real-time using synchronous communication methods, or it can be asynchronous, meaning that there is no real-time interaction between the provider and the patient and information is stored and forwarded. For example, a dentist might send a full-mouth radiographic series to another dentist for a second opinion, or a dentist or endodontist might send a CBCT scan to an oral and maxillofacial radiologist for
an interpretation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Click Here To Download Full Report” color=”violet” size=”lg” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-download” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aawd.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F08%2FTeledentistryManagementforDentists.pdf|title:Teledentistry%3A%20Risk%20Management%20Considerations%20for%20Dentists|target:%20_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

ODC Letter to MccSally
June 1, 2020
The Honorable Martha McSally
United States Senate
404 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510RE: Main Street Enhancement and Safety Act
Dear Senator McSally:
The following professional organization would like to express our appreciation for introducing the Main Street Enhancement and Safety Act (S 3716), which would provide loan forgiveness under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for costs related to health and safety supplies, including personal protective equipment (PPE). We greatly appreciate you being a leader in recognizing the impact these additional and significant costs – as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic – will have on small businesses as they prepare to reopen.
Dentists across the country are beginning to reopen their practices after closing completely or limiting their practice to emergency-only dental care during the pandemic. To protect patients, their staff and themselves from the spread of COVID-19, dentists are implementing enhanced infection control safeguards as called for in the updated Interim Infection Prevention and Control Guidance for Dental Settings During the COVID-19 Response.1 Furthermore, many dental procedures generate aerosols – which can increase the risk of virus transmission – making additional infection control measures and PPE essential. The cost of these health and safety efforts will have a considerable economic impact on their businesses.
PPP loans have been a critical lifeline for many dental practices during this time of financial uncertainty and have afforded dentists the ability to retain or rehire their personnel before their practices are operating at full capacity. At the same time, dentists need to provide for their employees’ health and safety. By providing flexibility in how PPP loan proceeds are utilized, your legislation will help dentists to mitigate the increased costs of PPE that will be required to safely return to providing care to patients while also protecting themselves and employees.
Thank you again for your leadership on this important issue facing dental practices. If we can help your efforts, please contact Jeanne Tuerk, manager of government affairs at 800-822-6637, ext. 4321 or jtuerk@aaoms.org.
Sincerely,
Academy of General Dentistry American Academy of Dental Group Practice
