4. Workplan Objective #1 • Promote quality of care through site visits to and program reviews of Area Dental Programs, to include the Balanced Scorecard, the IHS Chart Review Tool, and other tools as needed.  • Goal:  Conduct program reviews at half of the Albuquerque Title I, Title V, and Service Unit dental programs in FY 2013.

5. Workplan Objective #2 • Promote GPRA performance on the dental indicators of improving access to dental care, dental sealants, and patients benefitting from topical fluoride. • Goal:  Increase GPRA performance in all  3 dental measures, have at least 3 programs recognized nationally for GPRA dental performance.

6. Workplan Objective #3 • Provide recruitment assistance to Area dental programs. • Goal:  Have no longstanding vacancies in Albuquerque Area programs.

15. Continuing Dental Education so far

16. Continuing Dental Education Totals • Total CE to be provided to chiefs/prevention coordinators: 22.25 + 10 = 32.25 • Total CE to be provided to other dental staff: 10 • Remember that it is the licensed provider’s responsibility, not the IHS’, to achieve enough continuing education to maintain licensure

17. What about the national program? • The existing IHS CDE contract expired at the end of FY 2012. • The Nashville Area is providing temporary assistance by contracting with Dr. Mary Beth Kinney until September 30, 2013. • After that time, IHS Headquarters will assume responsibility for the CDE program.

18. The Future of IHS CDE • Dr. Karol to IHS ADO Group on 5/7/13: “Virtual continuing education will become the standard for most meetings.” • There will be fewer in-person IHS CDE courses in the future, but there will still be some (EFDA, specialty courses). • We need to continue to explore and exploit online/conference call CDE.
