Webinar: Strengthening the Patient Referral Process – Serving your patients’ best interests

Join us on Wednesday, December 9 | 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. Central Time

How does your patient referral process develop trust, support patient retention and increase case acceptance for elective procedures? Your practice’s success relies on an effective referral process. The health of your practice and patients is enhanced by identifying and avoiding common risks. This program emphasizes the importance of clearly stating what the referring dentist requests and expects, ensuring all treaters and the patient are on the same page, and when it is advisable to follow-up to protect your patient’s best interests.

In this complimentary webinar, you will learn:

• Role of GP/referring DDS, specialists and best practices for your referral process
• Referral goals and process components
• How to identify patients who should be followed more closely and how to manage non-compliance
• Decision making: when to treat or refer to a specialist and when to consider withdrawing when you cannot serve the patient’s best interests
• Informed refusal: documenting when patients refuse recommended care and acknowledge risks and consequences of their decision
