Train Your Whole Team Without Closing the Office
DDS Workflow Mastery is interactive, on-demand online training for up to 8 team members. Each person learns at their own pace, from the office or from home, with role-specific modules for the front office, back office, dentist and hygienist. No one travels, and your schedule stays open.
DDS Workflow Mastery: Optimizing Dental Sleep Medicine Team Training for the PDS® Team
At Dynamic Dental Sleep, LLC, we know how hard it is to bring new skills into a busy practice. The daily routine takes over, and new knowledge fades into the background. DDS Workflow Mastery is interactive, on-demand online training that gives every team member the standardized workflows taught in the Mini-Residency, so your whole office supports the same patient pathway.
Module 1 covers why screening for obstructive sleep apnea matters, the dental team’s role in screening, referral for diagnosis and oral appliance therapy, and the dental sleep medicine patient pathway. Role-specific modules then walk the front office, back office, dentist and hygienist through each step, with demonstration videos of documentation, billing and communication workflows you can apply in your own EHR, within your organization’s workflows, or in the Dynamic Dental Sleep platform.
- Completion of the DDS Dental Sleep Medicine Mini-Residency Program or has a Customized Training Program with DDS.
Please note: Access to course materials will not be granted until these prerequisites are fulfilled.
Course Details
Your team can return to the demonstrations and workflow descriptions at every step of the patient pathway throughout your access period, so screening and treating obstructive sleep apnea becomes a natural part of your daily operations.
Dr. Ashley Spooner, DDS, D.ABDSM, built Workflow Mastery because she knows how hard it is to get an entire team out of the office for training, and how quickly new skills fade once everyone is back in the daily routine. Every team member learns the same standardized workflows, and the demonstration videos stay available as a quick reference while the patient pathway becomes second nature.
Course Objectives
At completion of the course the attendee will:
- ✓Explain why every member of the dental team has a role in screening for sleep-related breathing disorders.
- ✓Describe how sleep is regulated, what happens across a night of sleep and the everyday habits that shape it.
- ✓Define obstructive sleep apnea and its severity levels, and summarize what it costs the body when it goes untreated.
- ✓Identify the medical-history red flags and oral signs that prompt a sleep screening conversation.
- ✓Describe the referral options and the dental sleep medicine patient pathway, and identify your role at each visit.
CE credit covers Module 1, the whole-team core. Modules 2 to 5 are role-specific training for the front office, back office, dentist and hygienist, and the whole team. They are not credited, and your team can return to them anytime as a quick reference while the patient pathway becomes second nature.
Role-specific training objectives (Modules 2 to 5, not credited). After the CE module, participants will be able to:
- ✓Front office (Module 2): identify the documents payers require, compare the ways a practice can be paid, verify benefits, build a patient estimate and prior authorization, and present the financial agreement.
- ✓Back office (Module 3): complete a TMJ screen and range-of-motion exam, capture an accurate construction bite, and deliver and titrate an oral appliance.
- ✓Dentist and hygienist (Module 4): apply the AASM/AADSM recommendations and the DDS standard of care, recognize contraindications, and communicate with physicians through SOAP letters.
- ✓Whole team (Module 5): establish follow-up systems, build physician relationships and integrate dental sleep medicine into the general dentistry schedule.
