ADA members can download surveys

New this month, survey reports from the ADA Survey Center are available free of charge to ADA members on ADA.org.

“This is a tremendous benefit,” says Dr. Bernard Dishler. “It’s just another way the ADA makes members’ dues dollars go further. Plus, some of these reports will provide information that will help dentists reduce practice expenses.”

Dr. Frank Graham, chair of the Council on Dental Practice, thinks the value of free survey reports to members will make the management process easier and less time consuming.
“In order to keep the primary focus on quality patient care, practitioners must be able to manage the business aspects of their practice quickly and efficiently,” said Dr. Graham. “Having access to accurate and timely information will help dentists do that.”

The House of Delegates in October 2008 adopted Resolution 80H-2008, directing appropriate ADA Survey Center results to be posted on ADA.org in the members-only section.

Free downloadable PDFs for 15 reports are accessible. As newer versions of these reports are published and other titles become available, the Survey Center will add to the list of reports available to members free of charge.

Members can go to www.ada.org/goto/surveyresearch and click on Free Downloadable Reports to review the list of titles available.

Only the listed reports are available as free downloads and are not available via e-mail. Hard copies of the reports may be purchased online at www.adacatalog.org or by calling 1-800-947-4746.聽
