What it reported doing in 2024

Informatics approaches to understand and reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing by dentists the skourtes institute together with the willamette dental management company (EIN:93-1226036), will participate in all phases of the grant.our long-term goal is to build a sustainable national dental learning health system focused on continuous quality improvement that facilitates providing patients with high quality, evidence-based oral healthcare. To do this, we first need to establish a practice-level learning health system (lhs) supported by an effective informatics infrastructure, relevant data governance and a culture of learning that drives evidence-based dental practice. In this project, we seek to quantify and understand inappropriate antibiotic prescribing, and to iteratively develop improvement strategies to improve prescribing. Through a deep understanding of why antibiotics are so frequently prescribed outside of the guidelines, we expect to engage the dental team and patients to develop feasible interventions. We will conduct the research at two large group practices: healthpartners (hp) and willamette dental group (wdg) which together have over 100,000 patient visits per year. Our project team comprises of experts in dental informatics, healthcare quality and safety, and human factors. Donated labor services of 86,264 from willamette dental management company (EIN:93-1226036) were provided to skourtes institute to assist with the achievement of this program service accomplishment.
