    December 2, 2016,
    Document


    39 The Center for Health Workforce Studies (CHWS), funded through a cooperative agreement with the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) conducted a follow-up study reporting on barriers and facilitators to oral health integration in physician assistant practice. Based on a survey of 2014 graduates, we learned that nearly 39% of those receiving oral health education had integrated it into practice. Among those providing oral health services over 80% received that education in their PA program. PAs receiving this education were 2.79 times more likely to integrate oral health into their clinical work.

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAHMSA) within the Department of Health and Human Services, produced a webinar on the important role behavioral health care providers can play as a partner in oral health integration. This webinar attracted 1,000 registrants with over 700 attendees indicating strong interest in the potential to engage this new partner.   

    Behavioral health care providers are increasingly called upon to fill new roles on the primary care team. These roles often call for mastery of knowledge and skills related to a variety of complex health issues, including oral health. As an integral component of overall health, oral health can have a significant impact on a client’s emotional and physical well-being. Listen this webinar to learn how behavioral health workers in integrated care settings can engage clients who may have oral health concerns.
