In the current health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a high possibility of employees in a dental practice getting exposed and infected. This means the employee has to get quarantined to protect himself, fellow employees and patients, which subsequently means that staffing and running the practice becomes a challenge for the dentist. Joe Fogg launched onDiem with the idea of a contingent labor force where dentists can bring in clinical staff members on demand basis to help practices maintain their service delivery and achieve high quality patient care.
