Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) has clocked in at your dental practice — handling scheduling, notes and claims… and sometimes giving your HIPAA officer a mild panic attack. Is it a time-saving genius or a rogue intern with too much access? In this engaging course, we explore the good, the bad and the ugly of AI in dentistry, with real stories, humor and practical tips so you know what to trust, what to avoid and how to use AI safely.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the current and emerging uses of AI in dental practice operations (nonclinical).
- Evaluate the benefits and risks of incorporating AI tools into daily workflows.
- Recognize potential HIPAA, privacy and cybersecurity pitfalls associated with AI tools.
- Apply best practices for selecting, monitoring and managing AI-based systems in compliance with regulations.
- Communicate AI-related changes and expectations effectively with team members to reduce resistance and confusion.
Speaker Bio
Amy Wood, HCISPP, didn’t plan a career in compliance — it found her after a personal data breach. That experience inspired her to help healthcare practices be proactive, not reactive. For over 10 years, she has simplified HIPAA, strengthened cybersecurity and built confident teams. As CEO of Copper Penny Consulting, Wood turns complex regulations into practical, engaging training. Her mission: Protect practices, protect patients, and prevent the next breach.
