Taking a Community-Based Approach to Care Coordination

Care coordination involves ensuring that all providers caring for a patient have access to the same information and can communicate seamlessly with one another. That coordination is critical to providing the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

That coordination is also difficult to achieve — especially in the oral health system.

This webinar will showcase a promising solution, featuring the work of the Medical-Dental Partnership pilot of Every Smile Counts! The pilot, organized by Children Now, developed the Medical Dental Referral and Navigation (MDRAN) system, which facilitates and tracks dental referrals and supports coordinated care using a community-based approach. Participants will learn more about the value of oral health care coordination and hear from Children Now about its work to improve dental care for children in California.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the value of coordinating care within oral health.
• Discuss the challenges and benefits of using a community-based approach to improve care coordination.
• Recognize the benefits of participating in local interprofessional oral health networks.
