Let's discuss key issues ~ Tell us what you think!

Institute for Oral Health is always looking into the latest growing concerns in our health care system, and this year we're tackling "Defining Quality in Oral Health Care." Our team has been participating in conferences across the country, exploring the issues and solutions that are getting the most attention.

We've identified a few key questions and we'd like to know what you think about...
  1. Health care reform is a hot topic ~ will the oral health community be at the table?
  2. We're facing a lack of a sufficient oral health care workforce, so how many midlevel provider models do we need?
  3. As oral health care provider education is very expensive, are we utilizing the work force already in place to the maximum benefit?

We welcome your comments on these important issues, and any other related topics you'd like to discuss. Thanks!
