All Students,
Welcome back, I hope you all had a great holiday and enjoyed a bit of a break from the college. As we get back into clinic, I would implore you all to refresh your mind on clinic protocols and remember the requirements for the pre-clinical and senior labs to be kept clean. Points to remember as we go into the next term:
1. There was a localized flood in a few of the quiet room operatories over the break resulting in some damage. The quiet rooms have been cordoned off and additional dental chairs within the Main Clinic have been opened to accommodate. 2. The operatories that can now accept the Emerald S scanner are units 37, 36 and 16. 3. The Primescan is not yet functional so if you need to switch operatories to use the Emerald S scanners please let Katalina Munoz know. 4. For D3 students on scanning rotation you must use the Emerald S scanners even if the Primescan is functioning. 5. Ensure you are checking in and out your patients in axium. 6. D3 and D4 patients with treatment that is suitable for D2 students have been assigned to the D2 patient pool, you will see this in axium. Hold off on treatment that is D2 level care. Talk to your PCC if you have questions. 7. Hygiene Recall Rotation: remember to send out a general referral for undergrad student assignment and to have the interprofessional note completed at the session. A number of referrals have been missed. 8. We are still waiting for many of the CDCP pre-authorizations to be returned. Your PCC should be sending you an axium email to let you know if treatment has been approved. A significant number of pre-authorizations have be denied, you may need to start having discussions with your patients as to what treatment they would like to proceed with due to the denial of coverage by CDCP. 9. If a procedure code is changed you must update the treatment plan. Copy and paste the entire treatment plan, make the corrections and then deactivate the old treatment plan. 10. D2, D3, and D4 students remember to add the planned treatment you anticipate doing at the appointment when booking patients. This is essential to instructor assignment and for the clinic mapping. 11. Make sure you are flushing your lines appropriately at each session.
Take care and have a great 2025.
