Tip of the Week

In order to work with maximum efficiency, practices need to make sure they are using their employees to the best of their abilities. Whether you employ an RDA, RDH, or RDAEF, each licensure comes with its own permitted duties. Conversely, ensure your employees are not performing duties that are not permitted. Review the table of permitted duties for more information.
