Did you know that September is National Preparedness Month? So in this episode of Talking with the Toothcop, we share some quick tips your practice can follow to be prepared—for whatever may come. We also share a few ways you can take advantage of "Slowtember" and prep for the year to come.
What are some easy things you can do to prepare your practice for emergencies?
September is a slow month for many dental practices, so make sure—if you haven't already—to get your compliance training knocked out. Cover bloodborne pathogens, HIPAA, cybersecurity, etc. If you participate with Medicaid/Medicare, you'll also need to do your Fraud, Waste, and Abuse training.
Take a few minutes to review everyone's credentials and make sure they're up-to-date. You should check CPR certifications, DEA registrations, sedation permits, even your driver's license and vehicle registration. Check anything that has an expiration date on it—both personally and professionally.
What else can you do? Mark your calendar for Dental Compliance Bootcamp 2021! Bootcamp is all things compliance and risk-management related. It's available to non-clients (even better, It's FREE for current clients).
