FOR Videos and Safety Checklists

Designed by leading clinicians across the globe, the FOR Safety Checklists help you minimize or reduce – if not eliminate – unintended consequences of avoidable errors caused by human factors. While dental practitioners understand which steps are necessary to provide safe and effective treatment, the regular use of checklists can even further enhance their surgical outcomes. Using the FOR Safety Checklists provides a preventive “safety net” that covers all the key points you need to consider during:

• Patient consultation
• Preparation for surgery
• Post surgery

Understanding the effects of human factors plays a significant role in the success of any medical procedure. The routine use of checklists helps avoid unnecessary errors of omission as both dental practitioners and their staffs do not need to rely solely on memory to remember each step of a procedure.

The Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation (FOR) is committed to supporting dental practitioners and their staffs in improving patient care during daily clinical practice. By downloading the FOR Safety Checklists app, you gain access to a simple, precise and effective tool. This helpful app provides visible confirmation once each checklist item is completed and also allows you to export and document each patient-specific checklist you create.
