Morning and afternoon appointments should be separated. Each clinical dispensing area will have an assistant to whom is delegated the responsibility of transporting, issuing and accounting for instruments between CS and the clinic. At the end of the clinic session, instrument cassettes should be collected and contents verified. At the time of issue, each package of instruments will be accompanied by a voucher which outlines the instruments to be issued to the user. The assistant will record the handpiece number or cassette number on the voucher and have the user sign the voucher.
Extra instruments are available upon request.
After the appointment has been made, the department appointment manager for each foundation provider and the central appointment system for students will transmit necessary information to assure that the providers receive the appropriate instruments and patient record. Dental students, dental hygiene students, and periodontics residents will pick up their instruments at the appropriate dispensing area. All missing instruments must be reported within 20 minutes . Otherwise the provider will be accountable for the lost instruments. Voucher Management A voucher is a signed receipt that indicates the person responsible for the contents listed.
