REMINDER: Obtaining Patient Consent for Treatment

Students must ensure that the Consent to Treatment & Financial Agreement is signed by the Patient once a treatment plan is reviewed with and consent to by the Patient. Only once the Consent to Treatment & Financial Agreement is signed will the treatment appear as "planned" in the Treatment History of the EHR in axiUm.

REMINDER: Tying Planned Treatment to Appointment Requests

Students must "tie" planned treatment to appointment requests as these are often booked by Patient Services Clerks at check out.

"Tying" planned treatment to appointments facilitates automatic equipment requests - no need for manual equipment requests in these cases.

Students who have patients without planned treatment will need to submit a manual equipment request.

Please review all equipment requests at least 48 hours prior to the appointment - if additional equipment is required, students must add a manual request for the additional equipment 48 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment.

Please contact Keri Pilon or Melanie Chouinard with any questions or concerns.

We wanted to share a comment we received from one of our patients through our SoD OHC Patient Satisfaction Survey:

"I have been and still am very impressed by the diligent care taken in every visit to the dental clinic. The work is meticulously done by the student and then checked carefully by the supervisor. This is light years above the care one receives from a regular dentist."
