    Author: Sengupta N, Nanavati S, Cericola M, Simon L.
    Journal: Am J Public Health; 2017 Oct; 107(10):1627-1629. PubMed ID: 28817337.
    Abstract:
    We have integrated preventive oral health measures into preventive care visits for children at a federally qualified health center in Boston, Massachusetts. The program, started in 2015, covers 3400 children and has increased universal caries risk screening in primary care to 85%, fluoride varnish application rates to 80%, and referrals to a dental home to 35%. We accomplished this by minimizing pressures on providers' workflow, empowering medical assistants to lead the initiative, and utilizing data-driven improvement strategies, alongside colocated coordinated care.
