Clinical
And Administrative Follow-Up
Discharge
Summary
A
description of the treatment carried out is sent by letter to
the referring dentist within two weeks following treatment.
Changes to the treatment that became necessary during the treatment
session can be made clear at this time.
The
discharge summary letter contains an invitation to the referring
dentists to contact the clinic if they have any queries or suggestions
aimed at improving the service. Any clinically important information
that may be needed by the referring dentist is made accessible
at the clinic on request.
Radiographs
and any other documentation provided by the referring dentist
are returned.
Review
appointment
A
review appointment may be required for clinical reasons or to
discuss further treatment options. This is arranged with the
patient's escort before the patient leaves the clinic.
Selected
patients may require a review appointment to check progress
following treatment provided, and to act as a post-operative
debriefing. Others may be encouraged to take part in an oral
hygiene and dietary advice session with one of our qualified
RDNs who hold a health education certificate.
