OFFICE STANDARD PROCEDURES MANUAL ASSIGNMENT
Please create a manual for your dental office to use as a training tool for a new dental assistant. Outline the following areas of content:
Opening the office each day- what needs to be done?
Getting the operatory ready for each patient
Operatory disinfection and set up details
Instrument processing
Sterile storage
Closing the office for the day
You can find all of this information in your textbook but I would imagine most of it you already know! Keep in mind that the new dental assistant has no knowledge of your office’s particular procedures. It would also be a good idea to share some good “tips” with your new co-worker regarding infection control. Also, be original and creative. Use graphics and/or color to make it an attractive manual in a 3 ring hard cover binder, and make sure it is detailed. The font should be a 12 point Times New Roman and double spaced. Choose a binder that is a 2-3 inch binder as you will be adding assignments to this binder when you reach the Dental Materials class.
