Most administrative and clerical errors would be detected with proofing and review procedures. Failure to properly manage and direct activities could result in ill will for the department, delays in patient treatment, and negative patient and community relations. Ineffective health planning could have adverse effects on the health status of the community by limiting access to necessary resources. Accuracy of data and research is critical in the allocation of CIHA resources.
Resourcefulness and Initiative
Performance of many complicated procedures may relieve the dentist of lengthy tasks. Highly developed skill in performing these duties has a significant part on the well-being of patients. Within the scope of established policies and procedures, the assistant is expected to make independent judgements regarding patient care. Work required identification of established guidelines related to assigned tasks. Work also requires identification and consideration of detailed aspects of dental care when performing complex services listed above. The DA II may make minor deviation from set guidelines for application to particular circumstances. Guidelines consist of Privacy Act guidelines, hospital policies and procedures. The supervisor provides specific, detailed guidelines covering all assignments. The employee does not deviate from the guidelines unless authorized. Incumbent works under the administrative supervision of the Dental Clinic Manager, who administers control of the Department's functional duties and provides specific instructions on new assignments. The incumbent is responsible for initiating and following through on recurring clerical assignments. Work is primarily reviewed in terms of overall quality and efficiency of service provided to patients and staff by the Dental Leadership Team.
Environment
Must be flexible in working hours. Work is performed in the clinic setting, which is responsible for treating patients with a wide variety of medical problems. Work involves exposure to communicable diseases, radiation and flying debris. Incumbent is required to comply with the Employee Health Program guidelines including current immunization status of identified communicable diseases and safety precautions are sometimes necessary, such as use of personal protective equipment as required by hospital policy.
Supervisory Controls
For time and attendance, leave approval, evaluations and general office duties, the DA II reports directly to the Dental Assistant Supervisor. However, the dental department is a clinical area and the dentist will provide clinical assignments and indicate in general what is to be done, quality expected limitation and special problems which may be encountered. The DA II provides care in accordance with established instructions and procedures. Problems and deviation which arise are referred to the dentist. All procedures are reviewed periodically for accuracy and adherence to general instructions and guidelines. The dentist will have input on all performance evaluations.
Customer Service
Consistently demonstrates superior customer service skills to patients/customers by demonstrating characteristics that align with CIHA's guiding principles and core values. Ensure excellent customer service is provided to all patients/customers by seeking out opportunities to be of service.
