18The Current Model of Dental Care for Children
What are the- utcomes?
The current MA system for dental care of children pays for procedures without any emphasis on health
- utcomes and with no
consideration of the social and psychosocial determinants of oral health
Rationale for Project ENGAGE
Health Home
- Exchanging health information in real-time through the
Project ENGAGE Registry, an innovative online tool designed to store patient data and educational materials.
- Networking among dentists, physicians, community health
workers, and Managed Care Organizations/Medicaid Funders using the online registry.
- Guiding the implementation of educational and social
support interventions at the child/family level using motivational and self-efficacy models, And
- Guiding the implementation of evidence-based
management protocols of existing disease (dental caries) and control of the caries process via coordinated access to dental providers and preventive/educational interventions assisted by novel workforce models (community health workers, public health dental hygienists, and expanded function dental assistants).
- Education of the dental team members which includes
dentists, allied dental professionals, and community health workers to prevent caries and arrest early carious lesions .
Innovation in Temple University’s Project ENGAGE
Registry to aid in creating a HEALTH HOME A dental home that emphasizes prevention Focus on oral health- utcomes
What Outcomes We Want to Achieve for Children 0-5 Years of Age? Outcomes
Quality of Life
Improve quality of life of children and their families
Oral Health
Lower prevalence of children with dental caries
Dental Access
Higher number of children aged 0-5 years with dental homes
High-caries Children
Decrease the number of children who undergo treatment under IV sedation and general anaesthesia
25Final and Process Oral Health Outcomes (similar to NDQA)
Increase in number of children receiving dental care Reduction in restorative care and increased emphasis
- n prevention
Increase access to dental services Assist patients to establish and maintain a “dental home” Reduce cost of care by reducing the amount of treatment provided under GA/IV sedation
Dental Health
Provide appropriate prevention based on risk status and treatment of carious lesions
- Registry
- Medical and dental record of children with no dental home
and covered by Medical Assistance
- Dental team
- Community health workers (CHWs)
- Public health dental hygienists (PHDH)
- Dentists
- Specialists
- Home and community engagement
(education, barriers, fatalism, literacy, coordination)
- Clinical care
Project ENGAGE Design
28
Project ENGAGE
- Vaccination record will be
displayed in the Registry for the CHWs to advice and recommend follow-up care
- Major medical conditions
- Asthma
- Diabetes
- Hypertension (pregnant women)
Diagnose initial, moderate and extensive decay Prevent caries from developing in sound teeth
ENGAGE
Arrest/re-mineralize initial carious lesions Restore minimal cavities Restore extensive cavities Review and monitor oral health Motivational approaches to promote appropriate access to sugary drinks and
- ral hygiene practices
Process to Maintain Healthy Teeth in Children
Project ENGAGE After Care
- Home dental visits will be offered
to children with high-caries risk or experience
- A dental hygienist will visit families
- f children who are at high risk of
developing dental caries
- Fluoride varnish
- Dietary and oral hygiene plans
Savings on treatment of tooth decay, especially of children being treated under GA or IV sedation Savings on cost of repeat dental care provided under GA or IV sedation Income from increased access to dental care by expanding the population served
Sustainability of Project ENGAGE
FUNNEL SYSTEM of DENTAL CARE for CHILDREN Using a Dental Team A Practice Model under Medicaid
Level I Large patient/population base managed using a team that includes dentists and clinical and community staff Lower cost of care with high return on investment of time. Major contributor to revenues Medium cost and limited return on investment of time Level II Patients in need for simple restorative and surgical care (at a clinic) Level III Hospital-based or surgi-center care Highest cost and highest return on investment of time
33OUTCOMES
Sound Teeth Protected (preserved) dental tissues (Arrested or non-restored non-cavitated lesions) Preservative treatment of caviated lesions (Minimal/micro cavity preparations, step-wise caries excavation)
Health Can Only by Achieved if We Focus on the Final Desired Outcomes in the Design and Operations of a Health System
- Sound Strategy Starts with having the
Right Goal.
