2018 PENNSYLVANIA’S DENTAL MEETING

Friday, April 27, 2018
8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Clinical Records Prevent Criminal
Records—“Do Dentistry, Not Time”
Presented by Roy S. Shelburne, DDS
3 CE credits recommended for dentists,
specialists, hygienists, EFDAs & all office
personnel
Dr. Shelburne went to prison on August 20,
2008, and was released on May 14, 2010,
and learned a series of lessons the hard way.
There are ways to protect and defend a dental
practice and to prevent what happened to
him from happening to you. You can protect
your practice in the event of a Board complaint,
insurance audit, malpractice claim, or criminal
complaint.
Dr. Shelburne found that his records and
systems were faulty. He learned that it is
critical and possible to implement protocols
and form a defensive systemic approach to
record keeping. Know that if it’s not in your
clinical record, you didn’t see it, you didn’t
say it, you didn’t do it, it didn’t need to be
done, and it doesn’t exist....from the legal
perspective. To be prepared for any challenge
the whole dental team must be careful,
concise, complete, and diligent, not just the
doctor. Learning and implementing this no
non-sense team approach to record keeping
could mean the difference between success
and failure in the event of an action or
challenge to your practice.
Upon completion of the course, the
participant will:
• Understand that what you don’t know can
hurt you and that ignorance is no excuse.
• Learn to assimilate and maintain records
that can be both protected and defended.
• Understand the necessity of due diligence
and how to conduct records review and
internal audits to insure accuracy and
excellence.
