Legal Jeopardy: How to Avoid Common Regulation Issues as a Dentist

Course Description:

This course is worth 1.5 CE credit that is automatically issued with a digital certificate upon successful completion.

Learn to navigate the state dental regulations and federal policies that could impact your practice.

The national dental guidelines, federal policies, and state-by-state regulations are so diverse and constantly changing that you would need a lawyer to keep apprised of them all. Fortunately, DOCS Education employs a regulatory expert who understands the importance of protecting your practice, your patients, and yourself.

Presented by David Palmer, Esq., DOCS’ full-time Regulatory Counsel, this vital course can keep you out of legal jeopardy by teaching you how to avoid the most common regulation issues dentists face. You will learn the latest on the DEA MATE Act requirements, drug inventory and recordkeeping, typical HIPAA violations, and how to meet the Standard of Care with appropriate staffing and training.

Course Objectives:

  • Understand PDMP functionality and requirements.
  • Review legal obligations and timelines for consulting a PDMP.
  • Understand the necessity of DEA registrations and stay updated on regulatory changes and mandatory training requirements.
  • Review DEA recordkeeping requirements for administering and prescribing controlled substances.
  • Learn how to respond to online reviews while ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations.
  • Gain knowledge about sedation standards of care, recordkeeping, staffing, and monitoring requirements.

David T. Palmer, Esq. joined DOCS Education to assist sedation dentists as they navigate state regulations and compliance, while also serving as liaison to facilitate a knowledge-driven relationship between dentists and their governing boards.
