Program Competencies and Objectives By the end of the semester, students will be able to: Program Competencies Forward This document describes the abilities expected of a dental hygienist entering the profession. The competency statements were originally drafted by The American Association of Dental Schools (now named ADEA), Section of Dental Hygiene Education Competency Development Committee, and presented in 1998. MCC has adapted the updated competencies approved in 2010 and implemented in 2011 to encompass the competencies we feel our graduates should possess. As an integral member of the healthcare team, a major role of the hygienist is to assist patients to achieve and maintain optimal oral health. We feel the competencies listed below describe the desired combination of knowledge, psychomotor skills, communication skills, and attitudes, as well as the standards used to measure the hygienist s independent performance. Competency 1 Core Competencies(C) The dental hygienist must possess the ethics, values, skills, and knowledge integral to all aspects of the profession. These competencies are foundational to all of the roles of the dental hygienist. OBJECTIVES: C.1 Apply a professional code of ethics in all endeavors. C.2 Adhere to state and federal laws, recommendations, and regulations in the provision of oral health care. C.3 Use critical thinking skills and comprehensive problem-solving to identify oral health care strategies that promote patient health and wellness. C.4 Use evidence-based decision making to evaluate emerging technology and treatment modalities to integrate into patient dental hygiene care plans to achieve high-quality, cost-effective care. C.5 Assume responsibility for professional actions and care based on accepted scientific theories, research, and the accepted standard of care. C.6 Continuously perform self-assessment for lifelong learning and professional growth. C.7 Integrate accepted scientific theories and research into educational, preventive, and therapeutic oral health services. C.8 Promote the values of the dental hygiene profession through service-based activities, positive community affiliations, and active involvement in local organizations. C.9 Apply quality assurance mechanisms to ensure continuous commitment to accepted standards of care. C.10 Communicate effectively with diverse individuals and groups, serving all persons without discrimination by acknowledging and appreciating diversity. C.11 Record accurate, consistent, and complete documentation of oral health services provided. C.12 Initiate a collaborative approach with all patients when develop individualized care plans that are specialized, comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and acceptable to all parties involved in care planning. C.13 Initiate consultations and collaborations with all relevant health care providers to facilitate optimal treatments. C. 14 Manage medical emergencies by using professional judgment, providing life support, and utilizing
required CPR and any specialized training or knowledge. Competency 2 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HP) Since Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is a key component of health care, changes within the healthcare environment require the dental hygienist to have a general knowledge of wellness, health determinants, and characteristics of various patient communities. The hygienist needs to emphasize both prevention of disease as well as effective health care delivery. OBJECTIVES: HP.1 HP.2 HP.3 HP.4 HP.5 HP.6 Promote the values of overall health and wellness to the public and organizations within and outside the profession. Respect the goals, values, beliefs, and preferences of all patients Refer patients who may have physiological, psychological, or social problems for comprehensive patient evaluation. Identify individual and population risk factors and develop strategies that promote health-related quality of life. Evaluate factors that can be used to promote patient adherence to disease prevention or health maintenance strategies. Utilize methods to ensure the health and safety of the patient and the oral health professional in the delivery of care. Competency 3 Community Involvement (CM) The dental hygienist must appreciate his/her role as a health professional at the local, state, and national levels. This role requires the graduate dental hygienist to assess, plan, and implement programs and activities to benefit the general population. In this complex role, the dental hygienist must be prepared to influence others to facilitate access to care and services. OBJECTIVES: CM.1 Assess the oral health needs of the community to determine action plans and availability of resources to meet the health care needs. CM.2 Provide screening, referral, and educational services that allow patients to access the resources of the health care system. CM.3 Provide community oral health services in a variety of settings. CM.4 Facilitate patient access to oral health services by influencing individuals or organizations for the provision of oral health care. CM.5 Evaluate reimbursement mechanisms and their impact on the patient s access to oral health care. CM.6 Evaluate the outcomes of community-based programs and plan for future activities. CM.7 Advocate for effective oral health care for underserved populations. Competency 4 Patient Care (PC) Because the dental hygienists role in patient care is ever changing, yet central to the maintenance of health, dental hygiene graduates must use their skills to assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate treatment OBJECTIVES:
Assessment PC.1 PC.2 PC.3 PC.4 Systematically collect, analyze, and record data on the general, oral, and psychosocial health status of a variety of patients using methods consistent with medicolegal principles. Recognize predisposing and etiologic risk factors that require intervention to prevent disease. Recognize the relationships among systemic disease, medications, and oral health that impact overall patient care and treatment outcomes. Identify patients at risk for a medical emergency, and manage the patient care in a manner that prevents an emergency. Dental Hygiene Diagnosis PC.5 Use patient assessment data, diagnostic technologies, and critical decision making skills to determine a dental hygiene diagnosis, a component of the dental diagnosis, to reach conclusions about the patient s dental hygiene care needs. Planning PC.6 PC.7 PC.8 PC.9 Utilize reflective judgment in developing a comprehensive patient dental hygiene care plan. Collaborate with the patient and other health professionals as indicated to formulate a comprehensive dental hygiene care plan that is patient-centered and based on the best scientific evidence and professional judgment. Make referrals to professional colleagues and other health care professionals as indicated in the patient care plan. Obtain the patient s informed consent based on a thorough case presentation. Implementation PC.10 Provide specialized treatment that includes educational, preventive and therapeutic services designed to achieve and maintain oral health. Partner with the patient in achieving oral health goals. Evaluation PC.11 Evaluate the effectiveness of the provided services, and modify care plans as needed. PC.12 Determine the outcomes of dental hygiene interventions using indices, instruments, examination techniques, and patient self-reports as specified in patient goals. PC.13 Compare actual outcomes to expected outcomes, reevaluating goals, diagnoses, and services when expected outcomes are not achieved. Competency 5 Professional Growth and Development (PGD) Dental hygienists must be aware of a variety of opportunities for professional growth and development. Some opportunities may increase patient access to dental hygiene; others may offer ways to influence the profession and the changing healthcare environment. A dental hygienist must possess transferable skills, e.g., in communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking, to take advantage of these opportunities. OBJECTIVES: PGD.1 Pursue career options within health care, industry, education, research, and other roles as they evolve for the dental hygienist. PGD.2 Develop practice management and marketing strategies to be used in the delivery of oral health care. PGD.3 Access professional and social networks to pursue professional goals.
