Chair replacment plan



Initiative TitleChair replacment plan
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

The Dental Hygiene Clinic dental chairs are beginning to need more costly repairs.  It would be prudent to initiate a replacement plan to start replacing the dental chairs.  They are also not accessible for all students as the more modern chairs have no cuspidor and are accessible for left and right handed clinicians as well as those with special needs.

The chairs we currently have, have a cuspidor which is not as widely used in the industry.  When we have a clinician that is left handed we must move the entire unit which puts undue stress on the wiring, and the wiring has begun to fail and need repair.

If there is a replacement plan in place the new chairs would allow for patients with special needs better access to our clinic as well.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

The potential consequence is that the dental chairs continue to fail and then would not allow for students to meet their requirements for graduation from our accredited program.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
A multipurpose laboratory facility must be provided for effective instruction and allow for required laboratory activities. If the laboratory capacity requires that two or more sections be scheduled, time for all students to obtain required laboratory experience must be provided. Laboratory facilities must conform to applicable local, state and federal regulations and contain the following: a) placement and location of equipment that is conducive to efficient and safe utilization with ventilation and lighting appropriate to the procedures; b) student work areas that are designed and equipped for students to work with necessary utilities and storage space; The number of students enrolled in the program must be proportionate to the resources available. Intent: In determining the number of dental hygiene students enrolled in a program (inclusive of distance sites), careful consideration should be given to ensure that the number of students does not exceed the program’s resources, including patient supply, financial support, scheduling options, facilities, equipment, technology and faculty. Examples of evidence to demonstrate compliance may include: • sufficient number of clinical and laboratory stations based on enrollment • clinical schedules demonstrating equitable and sufficient clinical unit assignments • clinical schedules demonstrating equitable and sufficient radiology unit assignments • faculty full-time equivalent (FTE) positions relative to enrollment • budget resources and strategic plan • equipment maintenance and replacement plan

Assessment Methods

Method Description Other Method Responsible Party
Alumni Survey Surveying program alumni can provide information about program satisfaction, preparation (transfer or workforce), employment status, skills for success. Surveys can ask alumni to identify what should be changed, altered, maintained, improved, or expanded. Dental Hygiene Department Chair
Entrance/Exit Interviews Interviews are conducted with students when they enter college and when they leave—either through graduation or early departure. These interviews can be designed to measure SLO, but can also be used to learn about students’ perceptions, gather feedback, on various college services, activities, etc. Dental Hygiene Department Chair
