📱 HIPAA Quick Check: Before You Text Patient Information

Electronic communication may be convenient—but convenience doesn’t replace patient privacy.

Before sending patient information, pause and ask:

✅ Am I using a communication method approved by our practice?
✅ Have I confirmed the recipient’s identity and contact information?
✅ Am I sharing only the information needed for the intended purpose?
✅ Could someone nearby see the message or screen?
✅ Am I following our practice’s HIPAA policies?

A familiar phone number or email address doesn’t guarantee that a message is going to the right person.

When in doubt, stop and check before you send. One thoughtful pause can help protect your patient and your practice.

Infection control isn't a "set it and forget it" process. Regularly reviewing CDC guidance helps protect your patients, your team, and your practice.

Take a few minutes to ask yourself:
✅ Are your written infection control policies current?
✅ Is your team following the latest PPE and sterilization protocols?
✅ Are you documenting infection prevention procedures consistently?
✅ Has your staff received recent infection control training?

Need a refresher? The CDC's Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings is an excellent resource for every dental team:
👉 https://www.cdc.gov/dental-infection-control/hcp/summary/

Looking for practical guidance on implementing CDC recommendations in your dental practice? Visit www.LeslieCanham.com for compliance education and training.

⚠️ What would happen if an OSHA inspector appears at your dental practice tomorrow?

A sudden, unexpected OSHA INSPECTION can REVEAL compliance gaps your team didn’t know existed. Missing documentation, outdated plans, incomplete training, and overlooked safety procedures... These gaps can be disruptive and costly.

Preparation changes the experience.

Imagine confidently meeting an OSHA inspector at the door with a smile on your face because YOU KNOW, your team is prepared and your practice has done the work.

You know what to expect, where your required records are located, and that your team is prepared to respond confidently because they got the most up-to-date information from a leading industry expert.

Leslie Canham & Associates, LLC can help you evaluate your current compliance program and get your practice up to par before an inspector arrives.

Choose the support that works for your practice:

🏢 In-person compliance assessment and team training
💻 Virtual compliance support

Don’t wait for an inspection to discover what needs attention.

Thank you for the brilliant idea of a Webinar. With a baby and a 4-year-old, I was able to stay in the comfort of my own home and get Live Classroom CE.

🦷 Hiring an unlicensed Dental Assistant in California?

Before they begin working, ask for proof that they have completed a Board-approved 8-hour Infection Control course.

Until this training is completed, an unlicensed Dental Assistant cannot perform basic supportive procedures involving potential exposure to blood, saliva, or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). This includes applicable disinfection and instrument-processing tasks.

Need training for your new Dental Assistant?

Our next 8-Hour Infection Control course will be held August 28 in the Oakland/Berkeley area. Seats are limited!
