Low-income children with high caries risk are disproportionately affected by poor access to dental care. Retail-based clinics (RBCs) can provide accessible ancillary oral health care. The purposes of this study were: (1) to measure caregivers' acceptance rate of an oral health screening, fluoride varnish (FV) application, and caries risk assessment offered to children on a walk-in basis in an RBC; and (2) to categorize the caries risk and demographics among the participants.

Purpose: To determine the level of adherence to the American Academy of Ophthalmology preferred practice pattern (PPP) guidelines for quality primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and POAG suspect (POAGS) care among retail-based optometrists.
Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of POAG or POAGS who participated in a telemedicine pilot project were included. Patients' charts were evaluated for 15 elements of PPP guidelines for glaucoma care.

The medical home is characterized by the AAP as a care model that "must be accessible, family centered, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective." However, some children and families use acute care services outside the medical home because there is a perceived or real benefit related to accessibility, convenience, or cost of care.
