In a dental office, the first five minutes of a medical emergency can be critical for life or death of your patient! Knowing what to do is a mandate for all dental offices. The Dental Office Manager plays a critical role in this event because someone needs to organize the team. Most dentists are not going to take this step forward to initiate medical emergency preparation. It's after the fact that so many dentists wished they would have been proactive in this area. The Dental Office Manager can be gateway to a Medical Emergency Prepared office instead of an Unprepared Medical Emergency Dental office. No one should die in a dental office. Everybody deserves to go home.
However, training and preparation should have taken place long before that event occurred in your office. A medical emergency is not a solo problem, it is a team issue! A well trained team takes discipline and commitment from everyone. Calling 911 is NOT a plan only part of it. BET or Before Event Training is imperative but someone in that dental office has got to make this a regular occurrence. That person is the Dental Office Manager.
Join this webinar to learn about various safety systems that are important to every dental team and office! Implement them now!
Someone has to take charge in the dental office otherwise you will NOT be ready for a medical emergency. That someone is the Dental Office Manager.
