dental clinical services that provided a formula for setting dental fees. <br /> *Formatted the Dental Policies and Procedures Manual for the Dental Health Service <br /> Division to meet Accreditation Guidelines. <br /> *Assisted in researching and writing the Oral Health Section of the 2007 Community <br /> Health Assessment. <br /> *Developed an Assurance Methodology Tool to be used in conjunction with Community <br /> Health Assessments in determining access to dental services in Orange County. <br /> Future projects included writing a Business Plan for the Dental Health Service Division, <br /> Access to Dental Care in Orange County for Safety Net Dental Providers; Developing <br /> plans for the addition of a dental clinic at SHSC and the new Hillsborough Commons <br /> Center. The students extend staff resources by surveying current research, developing <br /> tools and analyzing data. <br /> S-10 * DHS -- Proposal (Provide a brief description of the service change) <br /> Reduction in Certification and Licensure Allocations for Clinical Dental Staff <br /> S-10 * DHS -- Fiscal Impact (This number should correspond to the amount included <br /> on the department's budget request excel spreadsheet) <br /> $1,489 reduction: <br /> $1,208 Reduction in the Certification and Licensing expense. <br /> $281 Reduction in Training. <br /> S-10 * DHS -- Description — Describe, in detail, the service delivery impact of the <br /> proposed reduction/change. <br /> Reduction in Certification & Licensing of$1,208: There are six clinical dental staff <br /> members (one dentist, one dental hygienist and four dental assistants). All need <br /> continuing education credits to renew their license and/or certification annually. The <br /> Certification and Licensing expense also includes payment renewal fees for their license <br /> and/or certification and for a total of eight dental staff to attend the NC Dental Public <br /> Health meeting. These are the minimum requirements for the dental staff to obtain <br /> updates in public health dentistry from the Oral Health Section. <br /> Currently the UNC School of Dentistry offers a reduced rate for certain classes to health <br /> departments that accept dental students on regular rotations. The proposed reduction is <br /> based on this reduced rate. If the dental school no longer can provide the reduced cost, <br /> the dental staff would not meet the requirements for licensing and/or certification, and <br /> would not be able to keep up with new techniques and best practices potentially <br /> increasing the risk for malpractice liability. The staff would incur the cost of license renewal <br /> fees and continuing education courses. <br /> Reduction in Training of $281: Two Dental Office Assistants will not be able to attend any <br /> workshops or trainings. The amount budgeted in the training line item is for the Dental <br /> Division Director to attend two courses from UNC School of Dentistry at the reduced rate <br /> for Bloodborne Pathogen Annual Update Training and Medical Emergencies/Risk <br /> Management which are mandatory. This training is used to keep policies and practices <br /> current with requirements. <br /> 38 <br />
