Ohio Comprehensive Primary Care Program Webinar

Ohio Comprehensive Primary Care Program Webinar

The Kasich Administration recently announced the launch of the Ohio Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) Program.  Commonly referred to as Ohio CPC, it seeks to financially reward primary care practices including FQHCs that keep people well and hold down the total cost of care.  There are two payment opportunities:  PMPM (paid quarterly) and annual shared savings which are tied to hitting efficiency measures, service requirements, and clinical measures.  The model is scheduled to launch with an early entry cohort in January 2017 and then open to any primary care practice that meets program requirements in January 2018 and beyond.

Screening for High Blood Pressure in Ohio's FQHC Dental Practices: Making It Work!

Screening for High Blood Pressure in Ohio's FQHC Dental Practices: Making It Work!

One of the goals at OACHC is to fully integrate Oral Health with Primary Care by having our dental centers incorporate blood pressure screenings into their daily routines. As a partner in patient-centered care, screening patients for hypertension is an important service that oral health professionals can provide for their patients. Taking a patient’s blood pressure in the dental chair is easily done while educating the patient on the risks and appropriately referring them to their physician. It can be done by the dental assistant while preparing the patient to be seen by the dentist.  

 Join our panel of experts as we kick off “Screening for High Blood Pressure in Ohio's FQHC Dental Practices: Making It Work!”- A partnership between Ohio Dental Association and Ohio Association of Community Health Centers.

This webinar will cover:
- Demonstrate the positive impact blood pressure screening can have on identifying and effectively managing patients with hypertension.
- Understand how dental anesthesia effects blood pressure in patients.
- Validate the feasibility of assessing blood pressure among patients and making appropriate referrals for intervention.
- How to obtain materials at no cost to your health center
