MORE Care: an evaluation of an interprofessional oral health quality improvement initiative.

Objective: This evaluation assesses the Medical Oral Expanded Care (MORE Care) initiative in four states that focused on oral health integration into primary care practices located in dental shortage areas.

Methods: This analysis is conducted using self-reported primary data collected from each of the participating MORE Care clinics in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Oregon. Three measures: the percentage of pediatric patients with a) fluoride varnish applied, b) self-management goals reviewed, and c) risk assessed, were evaluated to compare the impact and timing of change tactics on participating teams.
