Excellent Candidate Approach
In the current era of social media, mobile phones and instant communication, it is challenging and important for dentists to be aware of data privacy issues. For example, the complex issue of patient communication over the internet, and access to clinical information. The balance between good patient communication and confidentiality is a fine one, as dentists need to encourage close contact with patients, such as to keep track of treatment goals and oral hygiene habits. However, dentists should also keep up with modern data security and think critically when communicating confidential information over the internet.
