Integration of Oral Health Care Providers in Nursing Home Settings: Piloting a Collaborative Care

model and a Standardized Dental Screening Tool for Quality and Cost-Efficient Resident Care

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)

Health Services Research Demonstration and Dissemination Grants (R18)

Fall 2018 – Fall 2021 $952,090.00


Often disregarded, preventative oral health care services and dental treatment are imperative

for good overall health and quality of life, especially among individuals ages 65 and older.

Our proposed research demonstration aims to pilot and describe an integrated care model in

which dental hygienists work alongside nursing home unit charge nurses to complete the

initial oral health screenings and dental referrals for new residents. Results of this research

may be utilized to replicate the model providing financially sustainable, appropriate, and

quality dental screenings for nursing home residents while also informing dental

reimbursement models.
