[QUOTE="araucaria, post: 28401, member: 2189"] IMO- The origin of this thread stated that there were only 18mths to go, but when something ain't broke (allegedly) then no-one will fix it. Nobody wants the responsibility to take the task of making the neccessary changes. Here's a thought,(1) if a Doc' sent his work to the lab and the patient became ill or injured there's a big possibility of a claim being made. If the work was outsourced by the lab and the Doc didn't know he'd be seriously pi55ed ! Big problems He should have taken steps to get guarantees about the supply chain and accreditation to back-up the quality of the product and service. The patient will think he's a 'mickymouse' operator for sure. The lab and the Doc will get hammered. (2)If the Doc outsourced directly and the same problem occured he'll get the same treatment from the patient but the lab will avoid problems. Now this would be the perfect opportunity for the labs to demonstrate how the problems could have been avoided because of their training, accrediation, certification, CE, licensing etc and having the restorations made at home. The root of the problem simply comes from a monetary issue. Some might say it's greed, some that it's the free-market rules in play and that the whole profession is evolving naturally. Now it's likely that the overseas outsource supplier will soon have all the neccessary paperwork to verify their credentials and committment to supply reliable and safe restorations, while homegrown businesses languish due to apathy or resistance to change. If there isn't a reputable organisation that can guarantee the protection of the patient's interests, then the profession will be devalued and the skillbase will gradually be lost with many jobs gone permanently. 2c [/QUOTE]
