The 2011 Institute of Medicine (IOM) reports, Advancing Oral Health in America and Improving
Access for Oral Health for the Vulnerable and Underserved, highlighted the importance of viewing oral health as inseparable from total health. The IOM and other leading health organizations have also called for the integration of oral health and primary care to enhance access, quality, and outcomes for individuals and populations. The resources below provide ideas, insights, and promising practices for integrating oral health and primary care practice. The resources can be adapted to support improvements in community care models.

Chronic Care Resources

Kim Waters2016-10-07T15:22:34-04:00October 14th, 2015|

Chronic care models are designed to optimize the care of patients who have or are at significant risk for chronic conditions. The prevalence of chronic conditions has been increasing due to the aging of the population and rising levels of lifestyle-related risk factors. Projecting these trends forward, the growing burden of disease and costs could be crippling. Consequently, chronic care improvement is a high priority for population health management. The resources below provide ideas, insights, and promising practices for improving chronic care. These resources can be used to support collaborative learning and improvement in community models of care.

Behavioral health encompasses services and supports for individuals with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and intellectual disabilities. One of the most important developments in community care is the integration of behavioral health services with primary care and other health services to create a total care model for populations with multiple needs. The resources below provide insight, ideas, and promising practices for developing integrated behavioral health models. These resources can be used to support collaborative learning and improvement in community models of care.
