  16. A Best Practices Approach to Oral Care in LTC homes • Oral Health Assessment • RAI-MDS Requirements: What triggers a Dental Care RAP? • Dental Care or Oral Health problem suggested if: • L1a Mouth Debris (dental care) • L1c Some/all natural teeth lost and does not have or does not use • dentures (oral health) • L1d  Broken, loose or carious teeth (oral health) • L1e Inflamed gums, oral abscesses, swollen/bleeding gums/ulcers, • rashes(oral health) • L1f  Less than daily cleaning of teeth/dentures (dental care) • K1c Mouth pain (oral health) • No Quality Indicators at this time February 2008 Central South/South West Best Practice Coordinator in Long-Term Care Initiative

  17. A Best Practices Approach to Oral Care in LTC homes • RAI-MDS Requirements: What triggers a Dental Care RAP? • Dental Care or Oral Health problem suggested if: • L1a Mouth Debris (dental care) • L1c Some/all natural teeth lost and does not have or does not use dentures (oral health) • L1d  Broken, loose or carious teeth (oral health) • L1e Inflamed gums, oral abscesses, swollen/bleeding gums/ulcers, rashes(oral health) • L1f  Less than daily cleaning of teeth/dentures (dental care) • K1c Mouth pain (oral health) • Oral Health Assessment • OHAT Standardized Tool = February 2008 Central South/South West Best Practice Coordinator in Long-Term Care Initiative

  18. A Best Practices Approach to Oral Care in LTC homes:Oral Health Assessment • RAI-MDS & Dental Care RAP and OHAT Standardized Tool • The OHAT has never been validated against MDS 2.O RAI sections K and L • Oral Health/Dental Care (eg., unlike RAI-MDS and Folstein >> CPI Outcome Scale) • Research has shown that • people did not use the MDS oral/dental sections well • there was poor identification of oral health problems on RAI-MDS (e.g., mouth pain) • there was no correlation between what was recorded on RAI-MDS and any subsequent • oral care actions or interventions • when proper oral assessments were completed before completion of the RAI-MDS – this • information led to increased accuracy on RAI-MDS • What does this mean to LTC homes using RAI-MDS? • Best Practices Approach to Oral Care in LTC Homes using RAI-MDS • means • Nurses should use a standardized tool such as the OHAT to complete an oral health assessment before and in addition to completing RAI-MDS oral /dental sections February 2008 Central South/South West Best Practice Coordinator in Long-Term Care Initiative
