Law and Risk Management in Dental Practice

From The Critics

Dentists and dental students will learn how to protect themselves from unfounded claims of malpractice, excessive jury awards, and allegations of violations of the regulatory laws, in this books on principles and practices of risk management in dentistry. Early chapters survey the US judicial system, the regulation of dental practice, and contract law in the dentist-patient relationship. Later chapters cover standards of care, refusal of care, informed consent, and patient records. Other subjects are malpractice trials, office audit risk assessment, and insuring a dental practice. Pollack teaches health law at the School of Dental Medicine at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
