Download or read book The U S Oral Health Workforce in the Coming Decade written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to oral health services is a problem for all segments of the U.S. population, and especially problematic for vulnerable populations, such as rural and underserved populations. The many challenges to improving access to oral health services include the lack of coordination and integration among the oral health, public health, and medical health care systems; misaligned payment and education systems that focus on the treatment of dental disease rather than prevention; the lack of a robust evidence base for many dental procedures and workforce models; and regulatory barriers that prevent the exploration of alternative models of care. This volume, the summary of a three-day workshop, evaluates the sufficiency of the U.S. oral health workforce to consider three key questions: What is the current status of access to oral health services for the U.S. population? What workforce strategies hold promise to improve access to oral health services? How can policy makers, state and federal governments, and oral health care providers and practitioners improve the regulations and structure of the oral health care system to improve access to oral health services?

Download or read book Pivot written by Ginny Hegarty and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Can't I just do the dentistry?" For over 25 years this is, hands down, the question dentists ask me most often. "I just want to do the dentistry and not have to get involved in all the other aspects of running a practice." Most dentists go into practice because they love the clinical challenge. Their joy is in mastering the technique, incorporating the coolest technology, improving the patient experience and in achieving top-notch clinical results. However, what they find once they get into practice is that they are running a small business and taking on many roles, CEO, CFO, CTO, let's face it, some days you're the entire C-Suite as well as chief cook and bottle washer! Dental schools don't focus on how to run the business side of a practice. The eager dentist finds they have to hire and then train, develop, engage and retain employees, learn and then coach the best practices for productive scheduling while supporting the team and the patients ethically and emotionally. That is where Ginny Hegarty's book, Pivot, can help. In her book, Ginny explains the innovative, lean business definition of pivot is to change strategy without changing vision. She explains that doctors can pivot to show their team the way to success. She wrote this book to help dentists learn to lead the team and create a culture that serves your purpose and passion with profitability following. Ginny's wish is that this book will lead dentists to a new understanding of the power they have to create the practice they've always dreamed of. She hopes this book kick starts a new level of success and joy in the reader's practice and life!
