The Surgeon General s Report Although there have been gains in oral health status for the population as a whole, they have not been evenly distributed across subpopulations. Profound health disparities exist among populations including: Racial and ethnic minorities Individuals with disabilities Elderly individuals Individuals with complicated medical and social conditions and situations Low income populations and those living in rural areas 31
Concept Design and implement using broad coalition Bring care to where people are Integrate oral health services and actions with educational, social, and general health systems Use technology to connect geographically distributed personnel into telehealth connected teams Emphasize prevention and early intervention 32

Demonstration Project: Conclusions Telehealth connected teams can reach populations who do not normally get care in the traditional system Most underserved people (~2/3) can be kept healthy on-site in community locations Allied dental personnel can safely decide what diagnostic records to collect and perform ITRs (however only allowed to do so in HWPP) Payment mechanisms do not support telehealth connected teams and telehealth-enabled procedures 59
Legislation Goal Include duties tested in HWPP in scope of practice Clarify and require payment for telehealth-enabled services Process Coalition Sponsor (principle supporter): The Children s Partnership Funding: The Pew Charitable Trusts Author Legislative process 60
