The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate and synthesize the current research on medical-dental integration (MDI) in order to provide an overview of what is known about this topic. MDI is a relatively new concept as it lacks consensus on what it entails. However, the general consensus is that MDI is a way of improving overall health care outcomes by integrating dental care into the medical system. This literature review the various definitions of MDI, the benefits and challenges of implementing MDI, and the current state of research on this topic. This paper is also to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on medical-dental integration (MDI) models and their potential to improve healthcare outcomes in vulnerable populations. MDI models are defined as models of care delivery that integrate medical and dental services in order to improve the overall health of patients. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that MDI models can improve the quality of care and reduce the cost of care for vulnerable populations. In addition, MDI models have the potential to improve access to care and reduce disparities in healthcare outcomes. The literature review will begin with a discussion of the rationale for MDI models. Next, the literature review will describe the evidence supporting the efficacy of MDI models. Finally, the literature review will discuss the challenges associated with implementing MDI models. Integrating medical and dental treatment may enhance a patient’s health in a few ways, which is especially helpful for diabetic patients. To begin, patients with diabetes are able to obtain the necessary dental treatment needed without going to a separate dental office if dental care is provided within the context of primary care settings. Patients who have trouble gaining access to dental treatment may benefit from this in a particularly significant way. Second, the integration of medical and dental treatment enables practitioners to more readily coordinate care and communicate with one another about the requirements of their patients, which is a significant benefit. This may assist to ensure that diabetic patients get the highest level of treatment that is appropriate for their condition. Patients who have diabetes have the opportunity to get treatment from practitioners who are acquainted with their medical history and who are able to give care that is more all-encompassing when dental care is provided within the primary care setting. Medical providers can easily make referrals to necessary specialists within the appointment as well as any dental specialists required. Other limitations to medical-dental integration is that it may not be possible to provide all of the dental care that patients need within the primary care setting or may not be feasible for all patients with diabetes. Finally, medical-dental integration may not be able to improve healthcare for all patients with diabetes. There is no single definition of medical-dental integration (MDI), one definition comes from the American Dental Association (ADA), which defines MDI as “a delivery model that links dental providers with medical providers to share information, resources, and expertise to improve patient care and population health” (American Dental Association, 2016, p. 1). Another definition of MDI comes from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, which defines MDI as “a delivery model in which dental and medical providers work together to improve the overall health of patients” (University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, 2016, p. 1). The ADA and the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine are two of the leading organizations in the United States that are working to promote MDI. A number of MDI models have been developed over the years. The most common MDI models are the team-based model, the co-located model, and the electronic medical record (EMR)-based model. The team-based model is the most common type of MDI model. In this model, a team of medical and dental providers work together to provide care for patients. This model has a number of advantages. First, it allows for the sharing of resources between medical and dental providers. Second, it allows for the coordination of care between medical and dental providers. Third, it allows for the development of a care plan that is tailored to the needs of the patient. Finally, it allows for the tracking of outcomes. The co-located model is a type of MDI model in which medical and dental providers are located in the same facility. This model shows similar types of positive improvements to the overall health of the community they serve. A number of studies have been conducted on the efficacy of MDI models. These studies have generally found that MDI models are effective in improving the quality of care and reducing the cost of care. A study by Mouradian et al. (1) found that MDI models improved the quality of care for patients with periodontal disease and improved the coordination of care between medical and dental providers as well as the communication between medical and dental providers. A study by Tiwari et al. (2) found that MDI models improved the quality of care for patients with diabetes. A study by Puzhankara et al. (3) found that MDI models improved the quality of care for patients with oral cancer. Challenges Associated with Implementing Medical-Dental Integration Models are a number of challenges associated with implementing MDI models. First, MDI models require the coordination of care between medical and dental providers. This can be a challenge because medical and dental providers are often located in different facilities. Second, MDI models require the sharing of resources between medical and dental providers. This can be a challenge because medical and dental providers often have different budgets. Third, MDI models require the development of a care plan that is tailored to the needs of the patient. This can be a challenge because medical and dental providers often have different training and experience. Fourth, MDI models require the tracking of outcomes. This can be a challenge because medical and dental providers often have different electronic medical records. For the purpose of the evaluation study, the authors used both a quantitative and a qualitative approach to data collecting. In-depth interviews, a review of the paperwork that was supplied by the states, and performance indicators were the key methods that were used to gather data. The authors used full transcripts of interviews, developed a codebook in accordance with the interview guide, and refined both documents iteratively as they coded. Responses were compared within and across states to identify commonalities in the challenges and opportunities encountered. The narrative sections of the state-submitted papers were categorized and analyzed in the same manner as in-depth interviews. One viable solution by which this problem can be achieved is by merging oral health care with noncommunicable disease management where community surveillance of cases can be jointly undertaken as outlined by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) as it described its six-level approach with communication, physical proximity to practice change as key concepts. Preventive dental care services can be carried out at primary health centers where health care staff, who will be primarily the providers of these dental services can be trained in a core set of oral health care competencies, the first approach, raising an issue of encroachment of medicine to the field of dentistry with the abbreviated competency training to strike a balance to these inequities in health care delivery. This is in line with the second approach of identifying the systems that are key players in the provision of dental health services to which finance, healthcare systems, and healthcare professions are considered, practice change is the method by which these core competency training will be implemented. Integration of medical and dental treatment may also enhance the quality of healthcare for diabetic patients by coordinating care and increasing communication between the two specialties on the requirements of their patients. When medical and dental care are combined, it is much simpler for providers to coordinate patient treatment and communicate with one another on the requirements of their patients. This may assist to ensure that diabetic patients get the highest level of treatment that is appropriate for their condition.This project demonstrated that state oral and chronic disease programs may leverage financing to offer training and enhance screenings and referrals for oral disorders that share risk factors with chronic diseases via partnership. More research is required to better understand some of the logistical problems associated with conducting integration programs, such as developing efficient and durable referral networks.
