3 Presentation Objectives Objective 1: Discuss the need for a focus on quality in dentistry; Objective 2: Discuss the opportunities involved with visualizing key dental measures and performance for improving the quality of care in dental practices; Objective 3: Share the design, development and implementation approach of a dental quality improvement dashboard that supports a large dental FQHC practice in central Wisconsin;

4 Triple Aim As the healthcare in US enter the era of accountability and move towards achieving the Triple Aim, dental care should not be dismissed; Reducing the per capita cost of health care. Improving the health of populations; and Improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction);

7 Healthcare Expenditure Back in 1960, the United States spent 5.1% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health. By 2014, this had more than tripled, to 17.5%.[*] Although, the pace of growth in U.S. per capita health expenditures declined steadily over the past decade, from a rise of 8.4% between 2001 and 2002 to a rise of 5.3% between 2013 and 2014 [*], the cost of treating dental care is a growing concern.

28 Summary Tab Summary tab displays the demographic information of the population being serviced at the dental clinics;

29 CDC estimates that in US approximately: Dental Caries Tooth decay is the single most common childhood disease, five times more common than asthma; 15,000 six year-olds are sitting in the classrooms in the State of WI with active dental decay and painful mouths; 40% of the children have caries by the time they enter kindergarten; More than 50% have caries by second grade; 80% have caries by the time they graduate from high school;

30 Sealants for 6 9 Year Olds (HRSA) Goal: This measure shows if dentists are taking preventive measures to prevent caries. Measure Description: Percentage of elevated risk children in the age category of 6-9 years who were seen by a dentist and received a sealant (D1351), or have an existing sealant on one or more first permanent molar tooth (tooth #3, 14, 19, 30). Denominator: Unduplicated number of elevated risk children between 6-9 years who were seen by a Dentist in the reporting period. Numerator: Elevated risk children aged 6-9 at elevated risk who were seen by a dentist and received a sealant, or have an existing sealant on one or more first permanent molar tooth in the reporting period. Timeframe: Reporting period is 12 months. Benchmark: 85% Exclusion criteria: Disqualifying patients with non-erupted teeth applied from the reporting month of July 2016 onwards.

31 Timely Treatment Completion Rate Goal: This measure shows if providers are taking steps to complete dental treatment within an appropriate time frame. Measure Description: Percentage of dental treatment plans completed within 6 months of comprehensive (D0150). Denominator: Number of comprehensive oral examinations (D0150) in the 12 month period beginning 6 months before the reporting period. Numerator: Number of dental treatment plans completed (Tx Complete) within 6 months of comprehensive oral examination in the reporting period (12 months). Timeframe: Reporting period is 12 months. Benchmark: 75%

32 Measures Tab Measures tab displays the percentage score of various dental measures and evaluates centers/dental providers performance with regards to meeting a pre-determined organizational benchmark;

33 Data Visualization Data visualization is a quick and easy way to convey information; Using charts or graphs to visualize large amounts of complex data is easier than poring over spreadsheets or reports; Providing performance feedback to the users in a visual manner is more effective than sharing spreadsheets and reports; Source:

34 Trends Tab Trends tab displays the performance of a chosen measures trending over a monthly interval;

35 Healthy Competition and Transparency Source:

36 Comparison Tab Comparison tab is similar to the Trends tab but offers the flexibility of comparing every provider/center to every other provider/center system-wide
