Narrative review demonstrates a four-domain safety framework for non-privileged dentists in hospital operating rooms, highlighting pathways to standardize surgical dental care.
Key Points
To establish a conceptual framework that enables non-operating-room-privileged dental specialists to safely deliver multidisciplinary hospital dental care under general anesthesia.
Conducted a narrative review guided by the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) framework.
Synthesized peer-reviewed literature and gray literature within the Saudi Arabian healthcare context using thematic analysis.
Formulated the GRIP model consisting of four core domains: Governance, Regulatory OR-Safety Requirements, Institutional Privileging, and Proficiency-based Training.
Linked the four domains to critical patient-safety targets, qualitatively addressing operating room efficiency, inappropriate practice, malpractice surveillance, and clinical effectiveness.
