Our current oral health system is leaving too many folks behind and leaving professionals struggling to measure outcomes well. It’s time for innovation, collaboration, and greater system-level change.

Here are some of the exciting areas where we can partner:

• Shifting oral health toward a chronic care model of disease management

• Using diagnostic coding alongside shared medical–dental health records

• Piloting alternative payment models with outcome-based quality measures and interdisciplinary practice

• Strengthening care coordination and provider resourcing through policy and technology

• Advancing prevention-forward practices that move us toward the beginning of the end of dental caries — and the rise of the oral health physician

• Embedding preventive healthcare and screening into dental practice

We also know organizations are facing real-time challenges:

• Maintaining sustainable programs amidst major changes

• Quality assurance and improvement — including auditing and compliance

• Planning for growth — capacity and scope

If your organization is navigating these areas or looking to innovate in oral health, let’s connect!
