Keep up with the new technologies and treatments, the degree of record keeping and informed consent required to be maintained these days and learn how to assist the dentist with using templates

The Challenge:

• We are a busy practice and keeping up with all the jobs is stressful
• Workflow for DAs is messy and unco-ordianted
• To do Cleaning, oiling, sterilising, maintaining steri logs, processing burs & instruments, distributing them back into the rooms, stocking rooms, keeping lab area clean, managing lab work, clearing rubbish, wiping down rooms, setting up for procedures, assisting, managing stock levels … is hard work especially as it is so ad hoc
• There is always this back log of steri
• Everyone does things at their own pace and differently
• We are always chasing up lab work and there are many errors in sending and receiving jobs
• Rooms are not stocked properly and things like burs and hand instruments go missing
• We keep running out of stock
• When things break down no one knows what to do
• There is no one to take over lunch breaks or tea breaks
• When there are emergencies, wish someone else could help set up the room
• Difficult children or even adults need special care and communications – wish everyone was trained
• We need a proper system to manage the work flow
