Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Dental Care Access
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Examines dental access disparities as a supplement to the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Oral Health Access.
  • Reviews societal strategies aimed at reducing disparities in dental care.
  • Explores the link between state-level public health, dental safety net efforts, and oral health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze dental access disparities and evaluate existing strategies for reduction.
  • To investigate the relationship between public health initiatives, safety net programs, and oral health.
  • To identify and describe promising public health and safety net programs for improving dental access.

Main Methods:

  • Data collection involved interviews with state dental directors and safety net leaders.
  • A comprehensive review of existing literature on dental access and disparities was conducted.

Main Results:

  • A two-fold difference in dental care utilization exists between low- and high-income families.
  • Societal strategies like Medicaid, dental safety nets, and increasing dentist supply have limitations.
  • Per capita income is the primary factor positively associated with oral health status.

Conclusions:

  • Significant disparities in dental care access persist, with current reduction strategies proving limited.
  • State-level per capita income is the key determinant of oral health.
  • Promising programs exist but require further evaluation as many are still in demonstration phases.
