National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center Georgetown University E-mail: keb302@georgetown.edu Appendix 1. Interprofessional Oral Health Core Clinical Domains and Competencies HRSA identified the following five domains, and each contains a core set of clinical competencies: Domain 1: Risk Assessment Identifies factors that impact oral health and overall health. Conduct patient-specific oral health risk assessments on all patients. Identify patient-specific conditions and medical treatments that impact oral health. Identify patient-specific oral conditions and diseases that impact overall health. Integrate epidemiology of caries, periodontal diseases, oral cancer, and common oral trauma into the risk assessment. Domain 2: Oral Health Evaluation Integrates subjective and objective findings based on completion of a focused oral health history, risk assessment, and performance of clinical oral screening. Perform oral health evaluations linking patient history, risk assessment, and clinical presentation. Identify and prioritize strategies to prevent or mitigate risk impact for oral and systemic diseases. Stratify interventions in accordance with evaluation findings. Domain 3: Preventive Intervention Recognizes options and strategies to address oral health needs identified by a comprehensive risk assessment and health evaluation. Implement appropriate patient-centered preventive oral health interventions and strategies. Introduce strategies to mitigate risk factors when identified. Domain 4: Communication and Education Targets individuals and groups regarding the relationship between oral and systemic health, risk factors for oral health disorders, effect of nutrition on oral health, and preventive measures appropriate to mitigate risk on both individual and population levels. Provide targeted patient education about importance of oral health and how to maintain good oral health, which considers oral health literacy, nutrition, and patient’s perceived oral health barriers. Domain 5: Interprofessional Collaborative Practice Shares responsibility and collaboration among health care professionals in the care of patients and populations with, or at risk of, oral disorders to assure optimal health outcomes. Exchange meaningful information among health care providers to identify and implement appropriate, high quality care for patients, based on comprehensive evaluations and options available within the local health delivery and referral system. Apply interprofessional practice principles that lead to safe, timely, efficient, effective, equitable planning and delivery of patient and population-centered oral health care.
