About this app

Developer Description

Assess dental infection prevention policies and practices with CDC DentalCheck

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) evidence-based recommendations guide infection control practices in dental offices nationally and globally; provide direction for the public, dental health care personnel (DHCP) and policymakers; and affect technology development in the dental industry.
CDC DentalCheck is developed directly from the Infection Prevention Checklist for Dental Settings. DHCP can use this app to periodically assess practices in their facility and ensure they are meeting the minimum expectations for safe care. The infection prevention coordinator and other staff trained in infection prevention are encouraged to use this app at least annually to assess the status of their administrative policies and practices, and engage in direct observation of personnel and patient-care practices.
While the information included in this app reflects existing evidence-based guidelines produced by the CDC, it is not intended as a replacement for more extensive guidelines.

A single lone Google app tester happens to stumble upon an unreviewed app. So naturally I go and test the app menus and functions. This app works however the layout is very dated, and I feel like the app can have more supportive information on everything pertaining to the details of the different menus and their choices. Overall the app is ok. Could use a makeover however.

CDC update is critical to address aerosols and engineering controls for patients and provider safety. PPEs provide the least protection for providers. Address the hazards of bioaerosols to include SARS COVID-19, HCV, HBV, MRSA, TB, Measles, and HIV as fomites and aerosols. Adress the distance and time aerosols and droplets travel and are present in the air and specific surfaces. Address AIIR and negative pressure enclosed rooms as the most critical measure in the Hierarchy of Controls.
