“…Early research shows improvements in several Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set quality measures for patients who receive both medical and dental care with Kaiser Permanente. 27 PDA is committed to an evidence-based care philosophy as defined by the ADA, operationalizing evidence-based care to focus on four areas: scientific evidence, patient preferences or values, clinical/patient circumstances, and the experience and judgment of the dentist. 28 Application of evidence-based principles for the patients most in need of intervention includes such examples as "Fluoride: % of moderate/ high risk caries patients" and "Sealant rates for select age groups.…”

Models and systems of the dental care delivery system are changing. Solo practice is no longer the only alternative for graduating dentists. Over half of recent graduates are employees, and more than ever before, dentists are practicing in groups. This trend is expected to increase over the next 25 years. This article examines various models of dental care delivery, explains why it is important to practice in integrated medical-dental teams, and defines person-centered care, contrasting it with patient-centered care. Systems of care in which teams are currently practicing integrated oral health care delivery are described, along with speculation on the future of person-centered care and the team approach. Critical steps in the education of dental and other health care professionals and the development of clinical models of care in moving forward are considered. This article was written as part of the project "Advancing Dental Education in the 21 Century."

“…This is especially important as individuals with DM have a range of oral health concerns including greater prevalence and severity of periodontal disease and increased risk of tooth loss . Research suggests that adults with DM who receive regular dental care have reduced periodontal inflammation and are more likely to have better glycaemic control and fewer DM‐related emergency department visits …”

“…11,12 Research suggests that adults with DM who receive regular dental care have reduced periodontal inflammation and are more likely to have better glycaemic control and fewer DM-related emergency department visits. [13][14][15] Diabetes mellitus affects multiple organ systems and often leads to conditions affecting vision, renal function, circulation as well as oral health. 16 Therefore, there is potential for dental professionals to play a greater role in the screening, management and referral of individuals living with or are at risk of DM.…”

Objective: The identification of persons with or at risk for chronic diseases is a new practice paradigm for oral healthcare. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease of particular importance to oral health providers. This study sought to understand healthcare utilization patterns that would support the introduction of this new practice paradigm. Methods:The primary and oral healthcare utilization patterns of New York City (NYC) adults were assessed using data collected from the 2013 NYC Community Health Survey.We stratified healthcare utilization patterns by type of provider, insurance, DM diagnosis and DM modifiable risk factors.Results: Of 6.4 million NYC adults, an estimated 676 000 (10.5%) reported a previous diagnosis of DM, and 3.9 million (69.5%) were identified with one or more modifiable risk factor for DM. Of these at risk individuals, 2.2 million (58.9%) received dental services in the past 12 months, and 545 000 (14.3%) did not see a primary care provider during the same period. Of the approximately 1.16 million adults without health insurance, an estimated 338 000 (26.2%) had a dental visit only.Conclusion: Healthcare utilization patterns in this urban setting suggest that oral healthcare providers can support the identification of patients with and at risk for DM who may otherwise not have the opportunity for screening.

“…Kaiser recently reported that dentists had closed more preventive "care gaps" than any department except Family Medicine [25]. Such integration has enabled Kaiser to improve their Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) and quality of care metrics [34].…”
