Total number of children (enrolled for at least 90 days) receiving: (each line represents an unduplicated count of children)

Quality
The Dental Quality Alliance

Learning & Informatics Summit 2018
Lack of standardized, validated
dental quality measures
“Oral health lags significantly behind the remainder of the health care system in developing quality measures, and as a result, little is known about the quality of oral health care.”
IOM Report: Advancing Oral Health In America, Key Findings and Conclusions
“Many complex and interrelated factors contribute to poor oral health and lack of access to oral health care, including . . . a lack of quality measures by which to evaluate and improve oral health care.”
IOM Report: Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations, Findings and Conclusions
Quality Measurement

Dental Quality Alliance: CMS is interested in forming a Dental Quality Alliance (DQA)
and is currently in discussion with the American Dental Association (ADA) to begin
this process. The DQA would bring together parties from many aspects of oral
health fields including national dental organizations, Federal and State partners,
payers and consumers to begin working together on measurements that could be
used by State for purposes of improving the delivery of oral health services and the
development of quality measures. These measures could ultimately be used to
enhance reporting on the CMS form 416 or through state-based value based
purchasing initiatives. While children eligible for Medicaid will be the primary area
of concern, the DQA will also address dental services for the adult population.

Some payment is linked to effective management
of a population or episode of care
Payments still triggered by delivery of services -
opportunities for shared savings or 2-sided risk
