Slide 6 Professionalism
A RDH is a Professional, what does that mean?
What Is Professionalism?
• Professionalism refers to the values of a profession that puts ethical and high quality services before the self-interest of the registrant. All codes of professionalism can be summarized in one phrase: “be competent, honest and fair”.
Competence: providing high quality services each and every day. Alistair Cooke said “A professional is a man (sic) who can do his best at a time when he doesn't particularly feel like it.”
Honesty: being truthful both in your statements and your omissions.
Fairness: appropriately balancing competing interests. CDHO Registrants Handbook Pg. 9

Slide 7 The RDH is a Leader, Why?
• Do you view yourself as a leader?
• Ironically all the roles cannot exist without the RDH having leadership skills.
• QA cannot exist without the RDH being a team leader in a dental practice.

Slide 8 The RDH is a Coach, Why?
• Do you view yourself as a health coach?
• As the dental profession transitions forward, health professionals are assuming more and more of a ‘coaching’ role.
The ‘Health Coach’ is an emerging new role. o Recognized as a new way to help individuals
"manage" their illnesses and conditions, especially those of a chronic nature (1).
o The coach uses special techniques, personal experience, expertise and encouragement to assist the ‘coachee’ in bringing his/her behavioral changes about (1).

Slide 13 Healthcare Leaders
Becker’s Hospital Review writes “Tomorrow's Top Healthcare Leaders: 5 Qualities of the Healthcare Leader of the Future.”
In the navigation of a changing environment and paralleling to dental practices, five qualities will define dynamic leadership in the future of healthcare:
1. Independent thinking to understand emerging client care needs.
Analysing what is not working and finding solutions for client centered care
2. Passionate about serving the needs of the client. Client centered care and making our clients happy. Legendary management consultant Peter Drucker states "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things."
Tomorrow's Top Healthcare Leaders: 5 Qualities of the Healthcare Leader of the Future. Beckers Hospital Review September 25 2012. J. Stephen Lindsey, FACHE, Principal at Ivy Ventures, LLC, and John W. Mitchell, M.S., Hospital Advisor at Ivy Ventures, LLC. http://www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-management-administration/tomorrows-top-healthcare-leaders-5-qualities-of-the-healthcare-leader-of-the-future.html

Slide 14 Healthcare Leaders
3. Act as a change agent for their organization/practice. Ethically aligning a business model to a client centered care model without sacrificing quality of care.
4. Motivate and inspire.In a transitioning profession with constant change a leader must be able to motivate and inspire others to achieve common goals.
5. Run a lean, high-quality organization.Create and manage lean, effective organizations without sacrificing quality. An inspired and empowered team will participate and hold themselves accountable for both the client care and business aspect of the practice.

Slide 15 Accountability
Definition of Accountability:
“the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for actions, decisions, and policies, including the administration and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position, and encompassing the obligation to report, explain, and be answerable for resulting consequences.” (1)
“Good leaders not only accept accountability but embrace its notion as a motivator to strive to do better”(2)
(1) Accountability in the dental office: the secret to an efficient, effective team. Dentristry IQ. Janice Keller. http://www.dentistryiq.com/articles/2011/09/accountability-in.html

Slide 16 AccountabilityAdapted from Dr. Ron Arndt Master (DDS MBA MAGD Master Certified Dental Coach)
Accountability is:
• Performance: It’s about holding yourself to a standard of performance—a performance level that you can feel proud about.
• Reliability: It’s about being constantly reliable and predictable in your reliability
• Action: It’s about doing what you say you will do.
• Commitment: It’s about living up to a commitment that you have made to yourself and others.
• Responsibility: It’s about accepting responsibility for your behavior.
• Respect: Its about respect for yourself, your team, your profession and your clients
• Humility: It’s about admitting you may not know something and gaining the necessary knowledge to change it
• Success: It’s about turning mediocrity into success

Slide 17 Gaps in Knowledge
• Gaps in knowledge are boldly underlined as gaps in accountability
• New knowledge can be attained easily, how about accountability
• To function, all team members must be on the same page and share the same mission and vision
• All team members are professionals and require continued competency
• Too often gaps in knowledge prevent dental offices from functioning at an optimal level
• For the RDH who’s nature is indeed to lead, this causes frustration and decreased job satisfaction

Slide 18 Gaps in Knowledge
How does this impact the RDH?
• The RDH is responsible for the actions of the team that impact his/her clients and practice
• It is the role of the RDH to recognize and guide team members towards knowledge expansion
• However, team members must be willing to accept their own responsibility and accountability
• The role of the RDH is to lead not ‘babysit’
• If the RDH does not want to ‘babysit’ as a leader he/she must be very clear in their directions
• Unfortunately in scenarios of poor accountability, unenviably your teams actions have the potential to become a reflection of you

Slide 19 Gaps in Knowledge
• As the DH profession positively evolves, attention unfortunately must be drawn to an increasingly growing concern that may have negative impacts short and long term to dental offices
Business centered care VS Client centered care
• There is no surprise that the dental office or dental hygiene office has a business component
• However, the scales cannot tip only in favour of a business model of care
• It is a ‘delicate’ task to balance the models of business and client centered care
• A RDH has difficulty functioning in a model of care that is too heavily weighed on business as this model of care negates the DH Process of Care and has a tendency to jeopardize individualization of client centered care
• In the model of business centered care the clients quickly see the shift and the model becomes very transparent
• Dentistry should never be ‘sold’, the effective dental leader will educate with such quality and finesse that he/she will never have to sell
• An effective team where each member is supported and empowered in their role will generate the revenue needed to also be successful in the business aspect of a dental office

Slide 25 Do Good Leaders Compromise?
Compromise when you can and don’t where you can’t!
• This parallel’s the saying ‘pick your battles’
• Ethics, morals, client safety and advocacy are never to be compromised, but feel free to compromise on prophy paste flavor (not abrasiveness though)!
• Determine what is necessary to change with a priority to conquer list
• How will your compromise impact you today, tomorrow, next week, next year? Decide based on the ethics of the compromise.
• Good leaders purposely choose where compromise can be allocated
• Good leaders purposely choose where compromise can not be allocated
• Compromise is not an act of weakness that you were defeated and you ‘backed down’
• Compromise is a tactic for leadership strength that displays integrity
• When and how you compromise as a leader will set the stage for your own respect as well as how you are perceived in respecting others

Slide 33 Overcoming Barriers
Team Morning HuddlesPurpose: A method of quick structured guidance prior to the commencement of a day to review schedule and ensure exceptional client care in order to accomplish a smooth balanced work day.
The Team Huddle should:
• identify scheduling conflicts
• identify client’s specific needs
• direct team (who needs to be where and when)
• remind of systems and tasks
• motivate to build team
• identify staff changes and any training
• serve as a positive reinforcement (some teams repeat the offices mission and vision)

Slide 34 Overcoming Barriers
You Define You!What happens when we are constantly faced with conflict?
• Even the most professional of professionals will begin to doubt their abilities
• A feeling of ‘isolation’ can emerge
• Go back to your mission and vision statement that allows you to focus on who you are and what your are here to do (no one can take or change your mission and vision statement, its yours!)
• Recognize when it is necessary to leave a work environment
• Recognize when it is necessary to obtain professional assistance via counselling (even leaders need leaders!)
• In unresolvable conflicts: Do not let your environment dictate who you are

Slide 35 Maintaining Positive Thinking
The solution to any work environment and professions barriers is taking care of YOU!
• Typically this would involve a segment on ergonomics … what about our mental health as a RDH?
• The dental hygiene profession has its challenges, how does the RDH remain positive?• Importance of being positive vs. seeming positive• Staying focused as to our mission as a RDH • Mission and vision statements as a means of focusing• Pat yourself on the back: re-focusing on our strengths• There are no self ‘cheerleading’ courses for RDH but there is
peer support• Self help literature / counselling / coaching

Slide 41 Critical Thinking
The RDH needs to ‘think’ to connect EBDM to reach Best Practice decisions.
o Critical thinking is a cognitive process that requires disruptive patterns of thinking, ones that question the status quo of propositions and leads to the creation of alternative lines of reasoning. (1)
o Defining critical thinking as a process signifies by implication the presence of different elements, stages or steps that constitute and shapes its core. (1)

Slide 44 Quality Assurance (QA)
Definition:
“a program for the systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects of a project, service, or facility to ensure that standards of quality are being met”
Definition applied to RDH:
The CDHO in compliance with the Regulated Health Professions Act is required to have a system in place to evaluate RDH’s and their practice for knowledge and implementation of standards of care to monitor the quality and safety for the public of Ontario.
Linked to Best Practice, EBDM and Critical Thinking:

Slide 48 Self Reflect: CDHO Self Assessment
• CDHO’s main self assessment tool for RDH’s
• Uses the standards of practice posed in question form with the RDH answering ethically and honestly.
• Will generate goal statements based on the needs from the self-assessment.
• View all the goal statements in the ‘Result’ tab
• Will list the goal statements in the learning profile
• CDHO does not view the answers, it is for the RDH only
• CDHO only sees that it was completed for QA participation and registration requirements
• Required (not optional) to be performed and submitted by all RDH every year regardless if being assessed or not.

Slide 50 Self Reflect: Practice Profile Questions
The practice profile has two uses:
1. for you as a self reflection / assessment tool
2. for CDHO to evaluate your practice for ‘best practice’ and standards (will be discussed later)
o Practice profile questions serves as a ‘check-up’ to the practice.
o By reviewing each question early, should there be concerns / deficiencies or uncertainties the RDH has time to research, set goals and make appropriate changes to meet the standards.
o It’s not a surprise what CDHO expects in a practice setting, the questions are right there for ALL RDH to read.
o This is a task where procrastination is not a good choice, do not wait to the last minute, tackle the questions and understand the best practice rationale and CDHO Standards of Practice behind each question.
o Accomplish the learning goals and return to answer the practice profile questions

Slide 55 Practice Profiles Choosing a Practice Setting:
The practice setting(s) selected in the personal data and employment tab will generate a practice profile with questions that match the practice type
• There are various profile types: general, educator, ortho or non-traditional.
• The educator and non-traditional profile is not the same as the general or ortho.
• The general and ortho do follow closely in the sequence with some variances.
• Public health utilizes the general practice
• Independent DH Clinic use general practice
• The non-traditional would be for the RDH practicing as a researcher, sales representative, etc.
The practice type and specifics to the practice determine how the questions will be answered as well if any modification are required to note within the opportunities given by CDHO in correspondence boxes

Slide 56 Practice Profile Questions
• Answered based on the year of submission and only for the last year in the three year audit review.
• For example if submitting in 2017, the practice profile is answered for 2016 when submitting 2014-15-16. Years 2014-15 do not need a practice profile submitted.
• There are 205 questions numbered 1-43• There are limits to the characters of what can be entered, hinting that
CDHO does not require paragraphs of data but only what is being asked in the data entry questions
• Point form and abbreviations can be used• The questions need to be answered ethically and honestly• The RDH cannot answer the questions based on what the ‘best practice’
answer should be but rather what does happen in the practice

Slide 60 Wording of Practice Profile Questions
“By You Or Another Team Member”
• The RDH is asked ‘you’ or ‘another team member’? This differs from past portfolio data entry where the RDH was reporting on only what the RDH him/herself did in the practice.
• Read the questions with all the details asked to ensure it is answered based on the entire practice even if the task is not performed by yourself the RDH.
• There are 4 questions in the profile that are based on ‘you or another team member’; #1,7,9 & 17.
• Example: A RDH may or may not fabricate mouth guards but the dental assistant does, therefore if asked if mouth guards are part of your services, the answer is yes based on the question being asked “you or another team member”.
• Some RDH are not reading the question fully and answering ‘not applicable’ on many as they directly do not perform the task/service … however, question states you or another team member

Slide 61 Wording of Practice Profile Questions
“When Applicable”
• Note that in question #12 above, the RDH is asked ‘when applicable’? Read the selections of what is being asked if it is applicable or not. A good rule of thumb is to swap out the word ‘following procedures’ for the actual list of specific procedures to ensure you are answering the question properly. As well think of applicable as ‘when needed’.
Example: How often are the following procedures used for your clients when applicable?
How often is local anesthetic used for your clients when needed?
The next decision is the choice of: 1.Routinely/always 2.Usually 3.Occasionally 4.Very rarely/never
• The question is actually asking when a client needs local anesthetic for pain management do they receive local anesthetic? We should hope so! So the answer is yes, which translates to routinely /always.
• There are 3 questions in the profile using this approach of ‘when applicable’: #12,14 & 15.

Slide 82 Responsibility In Learning
• Regardless of the practice environment and in any profession, the responsibility of a professional and leader is maintaining competency
• In order to ‘lead’ and ‘coach’ effectively and accurately the leader/coach need to be knowledgeable in their specific area of expertise
• Responsibility lies on the leader to gain new knowledge
• Accountability is also required to ensure new knowledge is not only being learned but as well applied
• It is not acceptable to gain new knowledge and ‘park it’, it must be implemented!
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
Slide 83 Setting Learning Goals
• Gaining new knowledge is initiated by setting professional goals
• Goals all have somewhat of a performance attached but cannot be performance based, all goals must be learning goals
• CDHO offers written goal statements generated from the Self-Assessment
• See CDHO QA Program Guidelines page 4 (http://www.cdho.org/docs/default-source/pdfs/quality-assurance/qaprogram_guidelines.pdf?sfvrsn=2)
• RDH can derive own goal statements for goals that are not generated from self assessment
• Goals generated from practice profile, on-site audit and milestone article review need to be stated in proper goal stating format
• Set a goal and start it, do not procrastinate

Slide 84 Quality & Quantity of Learning Goals
o If a goal is too large it must be broken down into smaller components or be made very specific to
give it the direction it needs to have a successful end result.
o Quote from CDHO “ A large goal that would span more than one year to complete should be divided
into yearly achievable milestones.” (QA Program Guidelines Con’t Competency
http://www.cdho.org/docs/default-source/pdfs/quality-
assurance/qaprogram_guidelines.pdf?sfvrsn=2)
o Goals on broader topics can be broken down to their sub counterparts. The same topic can be
repeated in the several or all years as long as the same resources are not used, there is a different
approach to the goal and that the learning has achieved something new and different for each goal.
o There is no set # of goals as long as the tally is 75 hours with 60 goal related and 15 non- goal (5
hours per year max for non-goal related)

Slide 87 Gaining New Knowledge
• New knowledge will be gained via Continuing Quality Improvement Activities (CQIA)
• CDHO lists CQIA’s that are acceptable for both non- goal and goal related learning in the QA Program Guidelines page 5 & 6 (http://www.cdho.org/docs/default-source/pdfs/quality-assurance/qaprogram_guidelines.pdf?sfvrsn=2)
• All CQIA’s must be evidence based and from reliable resources suited to the profession
• Resources from other countries can be used if suited for the research (example journal articles from the American Dental Hygiene Association (ADHA))
• Not all knowledge gained will be ‘new’ some knowledge is also ‘review’
• Reporting of CQIA’s must be in bibliography format with sufficient detail to allow assessor to locate the data (page 6 of QA Program Guidelines)
• Minimal time allowed is 15 mins with time being counted in decimal system
• Create as many activity ‘panels’ as needed for the CQIA you completed using the add new activity bar

Slide 88 Reporting New Knowledge Gained
o In #3 the amount of data entered needs to ‘match’ how many CQIA are listed
o Example: a goal with 8 CQIA’s cannot only have 3 or 4 points of data
o It is a summary of all the learning o The RDH does not need to write
everything from the CQIA but rather the highlights and important points to YOUR learning
o Point form reportingo If copying must quote source

Slide 89 Implementation of new Knowledge
• Goals have been set, researched and the knowledge is reported, what now?
• Implementation of the knowledge is required as with responsibility and accountability knowledge cannot just be parked
• The challenge of implementation is how to bridging the gap between theory and practical application
• The learning is never the difficulty, however, the implementation of new knowledge is typically where struggles can occur in ensuring the team shares the same view- points, especially in a traditional setting where the RDH is not the owner.
• Appreciate that the RDH has a dual educator’s role in not just educating clients but as well team members.
• Understand how a RDH functions as a leader and oral health coach within the DH scope of practice and standards of practice to constantly strive for a high quality of care.

Slide 90 Reporting Outcomes to Goals
• Reporting an outcome is often where RDH’s struggle, why?
• As a RDH within our leadership characteristics we often migrate towards thinking an outcome has to be grand
• Often times it’s the smaller components of the outcome of the goal tied into other goals that make up the ‘grand finale’
• Do not dismiss small outcomes as being too trivial or ridiculous as they all count in the big picture
• Realize that the outcome of a goal can be composed of a series of smaller changes not necessarily always one large impact to the practice.
• Does the outcome ‘Match’ the goal statement? Go back and restate your goal statement in a question and determine is what you entered in #4 answers the question
• Use critical thinking skills to focus on the outcome of the knowledge

Slide 91 Re-Evaluating Learning Outcomes
• A goal outcome should not only be attached to its purpose of being stated in the SMILE Portal
• Outcomes to goals need review and re-evaluation to ensure the original research and evidence is still supportive of the goal
• As theories and products change the RDH needs to revisited all aspects of knowledge past and current implemented in practice to ensure it still holds its evidence base validity
• And then the entire ‘cycle’ of goal stating to learning to implementation commences again
• Re-Evaluation is part of continuing competency
• Re-Evaluation is part of the responsibility and accountability in leadership

Slide 93 Saving and Sending in SMILE Portal
Just as with any computer data entry ‘save’ as you go along
A message stating saved successfully appears post saving
CDHO has an automatic built in saving however it is still cautious to save
Do not enter large volumes of data continuously without saving
There are two save buttons in the practice profile pages located at both the top and bottom of the pages
In the year of submission the screen set up will allocate a button that states you are completed
When submitting the practice profile ensure all questions are reviewed before selecting ‘I’m all done’ button. Once selected the profile cannot be altered.
The same will unfold with the learning portfolio with no return once ‘I’m all done’ is selected
