Audit Workflows for Multi-Location Dental Groups
How dental groups and multi-clinic organizations can coordinate audit preparation across locations with consistent standards and visibility.
The coordination problem
In a group, audit requests may arrive at individual clinics, a central billing team or leadership. Without a shared process, each location responds differently and leadership has little visibility into deadlines or recurring documentation gaps.
Elements of a group workflow
- A central intake log for every audit request across locations
- Clear ownership at each clinic, with a named reviewing dentist
- Shared documentation standards and checklists
- Deadline visibility for operations leadership
- Aggregated, de-identified patterns to guide training

Preserving clinical autonomy
Central coordination should support — not override — the treating dentist's clinical judgement. Approval of what is submitted for a given patient remains with the responsible dentist.
