Integration of Oral Health with Primary Care in Health Centers: Profiles of Five Innovative Models

Health centers are leading the way in integrating oral health with primary care. Much can be learned by exploring the models that health centers have developed and adopted to achieve integration. This Monograph, supported by the DentaQuest Foundation and authored by Hannah L. Maxey, PhD, MPH, RDH, Assistant Professor and Director of Health Workforce Studies, Department of Family Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, presents information on five health centers that have successfully integrated oral health with primary care. It has been developed for the purpose of organizing and presenting information on successful models which may be useful to health centers and other organizations considering the implementation of similar initiatives. Each health center’s model is summarized within the framework of the five domains of the Integration of Oral Health and Primary Care Practice initiative (IOHPCP), and full information on each of the models, such as the role of all care team members, is found within the profile for each health center.
