Designed For You – Protecting Patients and Safeguarding the Dental Team The SafeSeen Touch
The area of ‘compliance’ has caused much concern within the dental profession in recent years. As many of the rules and regulations have changed to meet the evolving needs of the industry, practices have been expected to not only meet the requirements, but to also demonstrate how they do so.
While this has widely led to an increased workload for principal dentists, practices of course still need to run efficiently and cost-effectively. Particularly for smaller businesses with little free space to store records, electronic management solutions can provide the answer many practice owners are looking for.
Having been involved in dentistry for more than 30 years, the Directors of SafeSeen recognised the challenges arising from the new compliance directives. They also saw that an increasingly litigious patient-base could easily lead to problems for dental professionals, should any issues surface with regards to treatment.
As a result of their extensive experience, the SafeSeen Directors developed the SafeSeen Touch – a compact tablet that acts as a complete compliance suite. Designed to enhance compliance, improve patient communication and ensure informed consent, the innovative device offers an ideal and contemporary solution for any dental practice.
Containing all the information both professionals and their patients need with regards to CQC, HR and consent regulations, the tablet can be used to show all aspects of the practice’s compliance. From infection control and prevention protocols, to the management of medicines, maintenance of equipment and clinical and staffing records, everything can be documented on the tablet. Ensuring all practice staff have access to the latest protocols and procedures can be a time-consuming task within any practice, and is often easily forgotten about during the busy day-to-day goings on. With all the details stored on the SafeSeen Touch, all team members can check queries at any point during the day with minimum hassle.
As an electronic device, it is also quick and easy to update records and all data can of course be backed up so as to enhance security and reduce the chance of losing any information.
Boasting high quality graphics and with treatment plan information readily stored, the device is also the perfect communication aid, as images and visual explanations can be used to ensure patients fully understand their proposed treatments. With a high level of comprehension comes well informed consent and patient / professional relationships are enhanced. Patients also gain an improved understanding of what is required by them in order for treatments to succeed, which encourages high patient compliance as well as informed consent. Once properly informed, patients can then sign the tablet directly, and the e-signature can be used for future convenience.
Storing a record of what exactly is shown to each patient, the device even offers protection should any patient complaints arise. When the time comes for the CQC inspection, practices can also demonstrate their compliance to all outcomes from the tablet, emphasising their organisation and attention to detail.
In addition to all this, the SafeSeen Touch helps ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the practice, incorporating programmes to help organise and manage routine tasks. While being independent to any other software manufacturers in the market, the SafeSeen Touch is compatible with any existing practice management systems, ensuring it can be easily integrated into any practice. The size and format of the tablet also means that it can be used anywhere on the premises, maximising access and flexibility for all members of the dental team.
The SafeSeen Touch is designed to ease the workload. With all records and proof of compliance in one safe place, they are easy to monitor and of course provide a great platform for all staff to work from on a daily basis, giving the principal dentist one less thing to worry about.
The SafeSeen team will even visit the practice before installing the tablet, offering a consultation of the general protocols already in place and showing how these would apply to the SafeSeen Touch. The team will also provide training for all staff so that the device can be used effectively from the moment it is set up.
So regardless of the size or speciality of your practice, this innovative tablet could make a huge difference to you and your team. Catering to all your CQC compliance, HR and patient consent needs, the SafeSeen Touch could be key to your continued success.
