STAFF DISCLOSURE

Statement of Knowledge

I understand that (INSERT NAME OF PRACTICE) requires a commitment to honesty and that one of my roles in this office is to help achieve that. In order for management to be aware of departures from office policy, I willingly report the following for the past twelve months:

Sexual Harassment

 

            I have not seen an instance of sexual harassment either by the doctors or staff members. I agree to immediately report all such instances. I understand that patients who exhibit improper behavior are to be promptly dealt with by doctors and/or management.

OSHA

 

            I have been trained in OSHA procedures and know of no instance where (INSERT NAME OF PRACTICE) has failed to provide materials and staff for OSHA compliance. I agree to report such instances of staff failures, knowing management will deal with these.

Illegal Acts

 

            I know of no instance of illegal acts being performed by staff members. I agree to report such instances should I observe their occurrence.

Drug Abusive Practices

 

            I know of no instance where drugs have been abused by staff members. I know of no instances where prescriptions have been written for non-dental needs. I agree to report all such instances to management.

            Management has informed me that I may report rules violations not only to management but also to any state authority having jurisdiction in those matters.

Dr. Duane Schmidt

Hello,
I’m Dr. Duane Schmidt. Over the last 30 years I’ve grown my dental practice in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (Gentle Dental) into one of the largest in the world. With 34 chairs, a dozen hygienists, 55 employees and up to 300 patients per day.

To facilitate the enormity of
conveying important information to our patients prior to a particular
procedure, we developed a series of videos that manage expectations, explain the procedure with examples and convey the potential risks involved. Patients then sign and date an Informed Consent confirming they saw the video and understood its content. Because most people absorb information better in this format, rather than pages of ten point type, key guidance actually occurs.

In the end, it’s a Win-Win situation; our patients are better informed and the dentist has reduced the risk of legal complications.
