The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives in ways we never imagined. Not only is it affecting our personal lives, but it is also impacting our professional lives. Many dental practices have closed or are only accepting emergency cases. This creates additional stress for you, your staff and your patients.

Your patients are the lifeblood of your practice and while a well-planned and executed patient engagement strategy has always been a best practice it takes on a new sense of urgency as we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic.

But, how do you stay in touch with your patients while you work remotely? What communication tactics should you be using? How do you keep your patients updated so you can fill your schedules quickly once your doors are open again to all patients?

Course Learning Objectives:
• Patient engagement best practices
• The benefits of a Virtual Office and Teledentistry

Webcast begins at 1:00pm est

Topic: OSHA/HIPAA

Speaker: Linda Harvey

Topic Details: When it comes to compliance, protecting both people and practices from bugs (think computer and human viruses) is multi-faceted. It begins with team communication and includes a comprehensive OSHA/Infection Control and HIPAA quality assurance (QA) plan. The strategies staff members use to identify, resolve, and standardize different compliance perspectives is crucial, whether it’s processing instruments or safeguarding patient data. Does your team tap dance around compliance dissimilarities? Or do you leverage sound principles to stay in step? This fun and fact-filled session discusses common areas where missing a compliance beat can trip you up with federal or state regulators.
Attendees will:

Review annual OSHA requirements
Discuss four infection prevention areas where standardization is critical
List twelve key infection prevention processes to monitor as part of your QA plan
Identify two security issues that could cause a breach
Evaluate your 2020 Data Security Plan

Course Summary

Create a marketing strategy for reopening and beyond: How to shift, adapt, and succeed in a changing world

We often say that “everything is marketing” - every interaction with your patients and the community is a part of your brand. This is especially true now more than ever as practices are going to be required to adapt and react to changing state and federal requirements, standards of care, and patient perspectives.

Now is the time to shift our thinking and create a marketing strategy addressing how to help patients overcome new barriers as we prepare and plan for reopening and beyond.

Course Learning Objectives

• Create or adapt your game plan to be able to be proactive rather than reactive to changing marketing needs
• Learn how to adapt marketing messaging to break down patients’ barriers
• Discover how to market to and reassure the “fearful” patient
• Identify opportunities for growth and problems you can solve
• Find creative ways to connect with your community so they know you’re there for them
• Learn how to adjust your marketing strategy for the next 6-12 months beyond reopening

Webcast begins at 1:00pm est
