A couple weeks ago I interviewed Dr. Mitchell Gardiner and Ryan Donihue about protecting your doctors license in a lawsuit. Today, I wanted to expand on that topic and give you three tips for collecting your dental patient health history and how to get better documentation.
In this podcast episode, I discuss the importance of the health history workflow in protecting a doctor’s license and livelihood. The three main points covered are improving patient compliance, implementing electronic forms, and eliminating redundancy in health history information. It is important to educate patients about the importance of providing accurate health history information and the benefits of using electronic forms for convenience and comprehensive data. Reducing redundancy in health history documentation is also crucial to ensure accurate and up-to-date information. The episode concludes with a reminder to protect the doctor’s license and practice by implementing an effective health history workflow.
