The session will discuss common documentation problems for special situations, such as medically complex patients, referrals and consultations, and emergencies, to name a few, in defending against malpractice lawsuits or licensing board investigations, provide examples of actual documentation by providers, and suggested best practices in documentation and record-keeping.

Objectives:

1. Identify common documentation and record-keeping deficiencies in special situations that expose dentists to liability.
2. Describe elements that each dental record should contain that reflects best practices and standards of practice in patient care.
3. Identify best practices related to chart review and record-keeping for special situations.
