The onslaught of the Coronavirus through the communities we serve has transformed the techniques we use to deliver care now and potentially for years to come.

This session’s panel will discuss the program’s applicability to telehealth technology, COVID-19 testing, care to non-health center patients, service areas questions, and other FTCA issues related to the COVID-19 world we inhabit. Be prepared with your questions in this interactive virtual workshop as we take a deep dive into your malpractice protection during this pandemic.

Maximizing Dental Care in a Reimagined Oral Health Environment
Aug 31, 2020 3:00pm ‐ Aug 31, 2020 4:30pm
Identification: CMA3
The COVID-19 pandemic required health center dental clinics to respond by limiting care to emergencies. Recovery issues addressed by successful dental programs included procedure classification by risk, revised workflow, infection control, and tele-dentistry. NACHC’s Quality Center Value Transformation Framework provides a conceptual model to guide systems change in three domains: Infrastructure, Care Delivery, and People. Reimagined oral health care must address these domains, including expansion of care team members involved in the provision of oral health services and use of dental care team members for the services they are uniquely trained to provide. Lessons learned during reopening can be applied to maximize dental care in a value-based care environment. This session will provide a view of these issues from national, state, and local perspectives.
