Infection Prevention and Control - IPAC
This is top priority in a Dental Clinic and only works when everyone on your team is trained and instructions are clear and understood. Having a manual is step 1 of many to ensure your practice not only MEETS required standards set out by all of the regulatory bodies and law but also equips the clinic with the proper baseline references and guidance to deal with real time emergencies in the workplace. Once a manual is in place it is required that all staff including contracted staff (like cleaning contractors, temporary hires and more) are fully trained and qualified to work within the manuals requirements.
Step 2 is Education! In your manuals you should have external resources with additional learning and evidence based decision making to expand ones knowledge of the rationale behind all IPAC decisions. IPAC training and reassessment is required at minimum yearly!
Step 3 is enforcing your manual. Telling staff to understand and follow a guideline is one thing but management must observe and record that the manual is being followed and requirements are being met. Any lapses in IPAC are taken very seriously and need to be immediately addressed. Evaluation of the IPAC program in your office is a requirement for quality assurance and allows regulatory bodies to examine the protocols/policies in place and essentially ensure public safety! IPAC is full of record keeping and logs which need management review! In larger clinics it is recommended to have one IPAC representative in addition to a Health and Safety representative outside of the management position to increase quality assurance! Having a team approach will broaden the view of overall compliance of each manual and ensure any concerns within these programs are found faster and spread the workload of these additional responsibilities reducing employee burnout.
Team BUilding
It is very important to have your team working together as a united front, not only to reduce work stress levels but to also boost your productivity and boost your business.
Sometimes teams lose their strong connection or struggle with interpersonally differences. The goal of team building is to use each team members strengths to help and compliment each other in a positive and fun environment.
