Description
- Abstract
- South carolina began to address early childhood caries (ECC) in infants, young children and in children with special health care needs through the robert wood johnson foundation funding of the more smiling faces project (2003-2006). The state's experience with this "more smiling faces" project provided valuable information and experience in facilitating access to oral health services for vulnerable populations. Oral health integration efforts continued and in 2016 the DOH was the recipient of hrsa funding for the perinatal and infant oral health quality improvement (PIOHQI) expansion project that specifically addressed oral health integration for pregnant women and infants 0-3. This opportunity facilitated the integration of oral health statewide through the 4 dhec public health regions strengthening the integration of oral health prevention education at the local level through regional partners. The PIOHQI initiative laid the groundwork and provided the foundation needed to conceptualize this current proposal. The south carolina integration demonstration (SCID) project will be more expounded and focused on testing models of integrated pohc in primary care settings and will aspire to: • to inform state policy and practice decisions; • increase oral health literacy across the state using an organizational health literacy approach; and • enhance the state's oral health surveillance capabilities. A foundational component of the SCID project is to expand the scope and the reach of the existing public health dental prevention program (PHDPP) for school-based services by constructing policy and guidelines that will allow for the provision of dental services within a primary care setting and expand existing partnerships with several fqhcs across the state. Additionally, the two-tier, state and local, improvement approach will enhance and strengthen the link between state level experts and local frontline staff. The SCID project proposa L is perfectly timed as south carolina builds upon an established and expanding network of partners and stakeholders. The network analysis work that began with the hrsa funded PIOHQI grant in 2016 and continued with the medical dental integration (MDI) initiative funded by the CDC in 2019-2024 is the foundation that is enabling south carolina to effectively respond to this proposal with a comprehensive and skilled network of interested and vested partners who are motivated to make improvements that are lasting and impactful. The SCID alliance will support and be organized to implement a two-tier, state and local, improvement approach that addresses the three core functions of the MCH-iohi grant. This includes 1) policy and practice; 2) education and outreach; and 3) data, analysis and evaluation. The SCID alliance members that have been invited to participate represent a wide range of knowledge in specific areas and will be expected to take leadership roles within the core function area that falls within their area of expertise. The SCID alliance is filled with individuals who have years of experience executing these types of projects, but more importantly IT is a group of individuals who are passionate and stand ready to positively impact the oral health of those in south carolina who need IT the most.
