Implementing Integrated Electronic Medical Dental Records in Dentistry and Its Implications on Dental Education

Implementing Integrated Electronic Medical Dental Records in Dentistry and Its Implications on Dental Education

Recorded On: 09/28/2022

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allocated $17 billion for incentive payments to hospitals and physicians adopting electronic health records. This led to a rapid adoption of electronic health records by medical and dental providers and hospitals. However, to date, only a limited number of dental institutions have adopted integrated electronic medical and dental records (iEMDRs). 

iEMDRs provide a centralized archive for easy access, review and longitudinal tracking of patients’ medical and dental health-related information in the same charting system. There are numerous benefits of using iEMDR compared to standalone dental charting systems, including reduced number of charting errors and increased patient safety. But one of the biggest caveats of iEMDR incorporation is the lack of a solid integration of iEMDR into a clinical dental educational curriculum. Additionally, the training needed for new users and for educators to use iEMDRs is substantial and often prohibitive. Thus, there is a need for dental educators to incorporate standardized iEMDR training for the students enrolled in health care programs and develop competencies for evaluation of effective and responsible use of iEMDR. 

Join us for this complimentary live webinar where we will share experiences from implementation and use of an iEMDR at two institutions. During this presentation, we will discuss details regarding prerequisites for iEMDR implementation, its impact on clinical practice and its integration into our dental and medical educational programs. 

The presenters also will demonstrate the functionality of iEMDR software and share a detailed overview of the competency model for effective and responsible use of iEMDR by students. Additionally, the research data on iEMDR competencies and impact of training modalities for students will be presented.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Discuss the existing systems for dental records with pros and cons of each.
  • Demonstrate the functionality of iEMDRs in dentistry.
  • Recall the importance and implications of implementing iEMDRs in dentistry. 
  • Discuss competency evaluations for students for effective and responsible use of iEMDRs.
