The power of communication in claims prevention

Would you consider yourself a good communicator? It’s something we all do, all the time, so it’s easy to be an afterthought when treating patients.

Claims under the DHAA member insurance program indicate poor communication could be contributing to claims, breakdown of the treating relationship with patients and poor equipment hygiene.

The 2022-2023 ahpra report also lists communication as the second most common type of complaint at 7.5% for dental practitioners.

In this session Shamus Breen, Managing Director of BMS, DHAA’s insurance partner, discusses common claims oral health hygienists face, how effective communication could help avoid these and what to do if you do face a claim.

At the end of the session delegates will be able to:

• Explain what effective communication is;
• Identify when there is a breakdown of communication;
• Apply strategies to mitigate risk in a clinical setting;
• Understand the potential impact of a claim

CPD Hours: 5.5 hours Scientific
