Retiring Hygienist Wreaks Havoc!

[heading] Retiring Hygienist Wreaks Havoc! [/heading][divider line_type="Full Width Line" line_thickness="3" divider_color="accent-color" custom_height="50"] In this episode of The Dental Practice Fixers we start with a great listener question. A retiring hygienist "jots down" the names and contact info of some patients (without their permission) and then moves out of town. Is this a HIPAA violation? Is it truly nefarious? How much damage can she do? We answer this question and more! Then on our secret shopper calls we pose as a patient who thinks they are in need of a dental implant. Should be a pretty easy one, right? WRONG! You won't believe how badly these calls were botched!
