This article describes a quality improvement (QI) initiative that is in process at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) Dental School and the website that grew out of this effort. The process of screening and assignment of patients was selected for improvement in 2006. QI methods were used to develop a website that improves access to care for patients and assists in the matching of patients and students. The website (www.dentalscreening.com) has received more than 15,000 screening applications in the period from May 2007 to January 2010 and has provided unprecedented insight into the needs of our patients. This article outlines the process by which the website was created, the rationale for the design, and the benefits of establishing a screening website for any dental school. The program was developed entirely at UTHSCSA, but it addresses a problem that may affect many dental schools.
本文描述了德克萨斯大学健康科学中心圣安东尼奥分校（UTHSCSA）牙科学院正在进行的一项质量改进（QI）计划，以及由此产生的网站。2006 年选择了筛选和分配患者的流程进行改进。QI 方法被用于开发一个网站，以改善患者的护理机会，并帮助患者和学生的匹配。该网站（www.dentalscreening.com）自 2007 年 5 月至 2010 年 1 月期间已收到超过 15000 份筛选申请，并前所未有地深入了解了我们患者的需求。本文概述了创建该网站的过程、设计的基本原理以及为任何牙科学校建立筛选网站的好处。该计划完全由 UTHSCSA 开发，但它解决了可能影响许多牙科学校的问题。
