Understanding Utilization and Prevention Measures Associated With a Caries Risk Assessment in Oral Health Transformation
The utilization of the ADA CRA CDT codes, designed to stratify patients into caries risk categories of low, moderate, or high, was relatively low compared to the examination and prevention procedure claims. Consistent utilization of these codes would allow for more effective monitoring of patient outcomes, supporting a data-driven approach to assessing oral health over time
Applying HCI Principles in Designing Usable Systems for Dentistry
Systematically assessing the quality of dental electronic health record data for an investigation into oral health care disparities
The NIHPTC framework proved to be a useful approach, to identify, document, and characterize the dataset. The concepts of completeness, accuracy, and consistency were adapted by the multidisciplinary research team and the overall quality of the data are demonstrated to be of high quality
Development of quality measures to assess tooth decay outcomes from electronic health record data
Methods were developed and validated for assessing timely treatment of decay and occurrence of new decay derived from EHR data, creating effective outcome measures. These EHR-based quality measures produce accurate and reliable results that support efforts and advancement in quality assessment, quality improvement, patient care and research
Increasing value, reducing waste: Tailoring the application of dental sealants according to individual caries risk
Implementation of caries risk stratified fissure sealant quality measures demonstrates the potential for extracting better value in oral health care
Tobacco screening and cessation efforts by dental providers: A quality measure evaluation
We demonstrated the successful implementation of a DQM to evaluate screening rates for tobacco use and cessation intervention. There is substantial variation in the cessation intervention rates across sites, and these results are a call for action for the dental profession to employ tobacco evidence-based cessation strategies to improve oral health and general health outcomes
Dental Providers’ Perspectives on Diagnosis-Driven Dentistry: Strategies to Enhance Adoption of Dental Diagnostic Terminology
The routine use of standardized diagnostic terminologies (DxTMs) in dentistry has long been the subject of academic debate. This paper discusses the strategies suggested by a group of dental stakeholders to enhance the uptake of DxTMs. Through unstructured interviewing at the 'Toward a Diagnosis-Driven Profession' National Conference held on 19 March 2016 in Los Angeles, CA, USA participants were asked how enthusiastic they were about implementin…
Dental clinical research: An illustration of the value of standardized diagnostic terms
Our results showed that most patients with CMP were not treated according to the AAP guidelines. On the basis of this use case, we conclude that the availability and habitual use of a structured diagnosis in an EHR allow for the aggregation and secondary analyses of clinical data to support downstream analyses for quality improvement and epidemiological assessments
