Dental Infection Control Training Videos Mitigate Risk & Improve Compliance

It’s rather common knowledge that compliance training is often hard to follow, lacks engagement, and may be downright boring, but you can’t let employees avoid compliance training! If your dental practice is looking for ways to improve your employee understanding of infection control while mitigating risk and increasing overall compliance, dental infection control training videos can help! 

Training Videos Improve Learner Outcomes

Studies have proven that the use of training videos to provide essential skills training improves learner outcomes. In fact, in a recent study, the level of knowledge gained by viewers that engaged in module style learning videos was increased by 16% over other forms of training such as textbook or lecture style methods. This is one of several ways that the use of training videos can improve overall outcomes for learners who engage with the content.

When it comes to compliance training, including mitigation of risk involved in infection control scenarios, the use of interactive training videos can further improve learner outcomes. Interactive dental infection control training videos help your employees to understand the benefits of certain infection control activities over others, particularly by immersing the employee into scenarios that mimic real life situations. This format allows employees to engage in critical thinking ahead of being placed in a real life scenario where every second, and every action, counts.

Training Videos Improve Learner Engagement

Not only will the use of dental infection control training videos help you to improve the overall level of learner engagement among your employees, but they actually improve the likelihood of employees reverting back to the video content in order to retrain on concepts that they might feel like they lack an understanding of or can’t recall. 

By providing employees with the opportunity to train by video at their own pace and on-demand, you’re creating a situation that is conducive to employee engagement. The use of training videos, on topics such as dental infection control or other important areas of interest to your practice improves learner interaction by making training easily accessible, flexible, and available anywhere, anytime.

Video Training Programs Improve Infection Control Compliance

Creating a culture of compliance can be particularly challenging for any workplace. As a busy dental practice owner, you probably already struggle with maintaining a laundry list of tasks that are expected of you on a day-to-day basis. Adding dental infection control training to that list to ensure that each employee on your team, including new hires, has the appropriate level of knowledge on the subject is something that, although important, is probably not at the top of your mind. This and other compliance training, as valuable and vital as it may be, can often slip through the cracks merely because everyone is already so busy that it’s difficult to add more training to the mix.

However, with video based training on infection control, employees are more likely to comply with expectations that are set in regards to their engagement with the content and you’re able to see which employees are in compliance with training and who’s not. This level of accountability is important, to maintaining employee compliance in training, and to assuring your own compliance in providing essential infection control training at work.

Benefits of Producing Dental Infection Control Training Videos 

Still not convinced that dental infection control training videos are an absolute must for your practice? Providing compliance training, such as infection control, is an important task that’s not likely to go away anytime soon. If you don’t want this training, that tends to require repeat engagement among employees several times per year or more, to interrupt your busy schedule and to cost you more money year over year, video is key!

There are profound benefits to producing dental infection control training videos. Consider the following:

  • Video training will save your practice time – it will save YOU time.
  • Video training will save your practice money. It’s a one & done expense.
  • Video training improves employee learning outcomes
  • Video training increases employee knowledge of important subjects – like compliance and infection control!
  • Video training can be customized to fit your practice needs, branding, and employee learning styles.
  • Video training results in longer term retention of information.

Of course there are several other important benefits that come as a result of your decision to move forward with dental infection control training videos for your practice.
