Ethics, Jurisprudence, and Practice Management

Ethics, Jurisprudence, and Practice Management
Vickie Kimbrough-Walls ,Charla Lautar
Rapid technological advances in dental hygiene services have made it increasingly more feasible for licensed hygienists to practice independently-thus making a solid understanding of ethics and business management not only desirable, but critical. Unique in approach, this innovative text explores-in a single volume- the moral, legal, and administrative challenges dental hygienists are likely to encounter in clinical practice, in an office setting-and the interrelationships between them. The focus throughout is not only on currently available practices and procedures, but on the decision-making process involved in applying them effectively to a given situation.
