Observations

Overall Program 

Dental Enhancements provided a concise, organized program that was customized for each dental office. OSHA and HIPAA rules are complex and change frequently, and this program not only tells offices what to do, but provides the materials and protocol checklists to ensure compliance with the federal regulations. Consultants reported that they were left with a sense of well-being that they were compliant and prepared in the event of an inspection.

Training
The 90-minute live webinar was presented to each dental office and served to fulfill all three Federal training requirements. An abundance of information was presented, which did not allow time for many questions or discussions. Rather, questions or clarifications were noted by the OSHA and HIPAA officers and resolved in private phone communications with Dental Enhancements.

Support

The initial 90-minute phone call with Dental Enhancements was flexible in terms of time and varied depending on each office’s needs. While 90 minutes was average, no limit was placed on this communication. Calls could be separated for offices that had different individuals who managed OSHA and HIPAA. Support was very methodical and individualized, walking dental personnel through the binders in order to complete forms and identify any needs unique to the dental practice. Follow-up calls were welcomed and were answered promptly.

Materials
Included in this compliance program are all forms and documents required to comply with OSHA/GHS and HIPAA regulations. Most useful were the office checklists for items necessary for compliance. The system even included adhesive labels for dental products and hazards. State-specific OSHA and HIPAA compliance was covered where required.

Organization of Materials
Materials were well organized in binders that kept required paperwork in one place. Four separate binders were included: OSHA Manual, Sterilization and Disinfection Log Organizer, SDS Organizer and HIPAA Manual. Each binder contained tabbed separators for quick access to the desired subject. Each section began with an outline summarizing the subject and the contents of the section.

Clinical Tips

  • Be prepared to spend additional time updating MSDS forms to the new SDS standards of print and online availability.

     

  • Use the included instructions for new Hazard Rating labeling requirements for dental products.
