Feasibility of an innovative medical dental integration program to provide overdue adolescent vaccinations in a federally qualified health center
Objectives
To determine the feasibility of a medical dental integration program to provide overdue vaccinations to adolescents ages 9–17 and evaluate the facilitators and barriers to the process.
Methods
The program was developed and implemented at one dental clinic co-located within a medical clinic at a federally qualified healthcare center in Denver, Colorado. Utilizing a shared electronic health record, human papillomavirus, meningococcal, and/or tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccines were recommended by dental providers and then administered by the medical team. Plan-do-study-act cycles informed implementation. Descriptive analyses of eligible patients were performed and run charts were used track process implementation outcomes.
Results
One hundred and sixty eligible adolescents were identified during a 6-month period. Overall, 29 patients (18%) received 41 vaccines. Process facilitators included staff buy-in and individual provider feedback and barriers included staff shortages and family vaccine refusal/preference to receive vaccines in the medical home.
Conclusions
Many adolescents see dental providers more than their primary care providers, creating an opportunity to vaccinate adolescents overdue for immunizations during dental visits. A medical dental integration program to provide adolescent vaccinations was feasible in a federally qualified health center with co-located medical and dental services. Expansion to diverse healthcare settings is necessary to further explore implementation outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Public Health Dentistry is devoted to the advancement of public health dentistry through the exploration of related research, practice, and policy developments. Three main types of articles are published: original research articles that provide a significant contribution to knowledge in the breadth of dental public health, including oral epidemiology, dental health services, the behavioral sciences, and the public health practice areas of assessment, policy development, and assurance; methods articles that report the development and testing of new approaches to research design, data collection and analysis, or the delivery of public health services; and review articles that synthesize previous research in the discipline and provide guidance to others conducting research as well as to policy makers, managers, and other dental public health practitioners.
