SEATTLE, -- Each year tens of millions of dollars are invested in Dental health research and innovations, but it often takes many years before the results arrive at most dental offices or even impact patient care. A new Institute for Oral Health launched today by health care best intends to bridge this gap.
Headquartered in Seattle, the Institute was created to accelerate the development and adoption of progressive treatment guidelines and release methods for health care policy makers, the dental line of work and the public. The Institute's mission is to boost the use of innovations that would make the U.S. dental care system more effective, more cost well-organized and widely accessible.
"The Institute for Oral Health is a new voice for advancing dental care delivery," said Cathye Smithwick, IOH optional faculty member and Principal with Mercer Health and Benefits. "It's the first time nationally-recognized experts from academia, dental investigate and public health have joined with commercial dental carriers and purchasers in a public forum to advance how dental care is delivered."
