Articulation of medical and dental practices has been strongly called for based on the many oral-systemic connections. With the rapid development and adoption of electronic health records, the feasibility of integrating medical and dental patient data should be strongly considered. The objective of this study was to develop an initial understanding of the medical providers' core dental information needs and opinion of integrated medical-dental electronic health record (iEHR) environment in their workflow. This was achieved by administering a 13 question survey to a group of 1,197 medical care providers employed by Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin, United States. The survey received a response rate of 35%. The responses were analyzed based on provider 'Role' and 'Specialty'. The majority of the respondents felt the need for patient's dental information to coordinate or provide effective medical care. An integrated electronic health record environment could facilitate this holistic patient care approach.
基于众多口腔与全身的联系，强烈呼吁整合医学和牙科实践。随着电子健康记录的迅速发展和应用，应充分考虑整合医疗和牙科患者数据的可行性。本研究的目的是初步了解医疗服务提供者对核心牙科信息的需求，以及他们对整合医疗-牙科电子健康记录（iEHR）环境在其工作流程中的看法。这是通过对美国威斯康星州马什菲尔德诊所雇佣的1197名医疗服务提供者进行一项包含13个问题的调查来实现的。该调查的回复率为35%。根据提供者的“角色”和“专业”对回复进行了分析。大多数受访者认为需要患者的牙科信息来协调或提供有效的医疗护理。整合的电子健康记录环境可以促进这种整体的患者护理方法。
