摘要:

Oral diseases and conditions may adversely affect general health, and certain medical conditions may have a negative effect on oral health.1–9However, little attention has been given to assessing the economic costs and consequences associated with care that is a direct result of, or has a direct impact on, an underlying medical condition and/or its resulting therapy. The costs can be significant for patients; their families; third‐party payers such as insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid; and society. The health consequences of such conditions may dramatically affect function, morbidity, quality of life, and survival.This paper reviews one possible approach for identifying and measuring the costs and consequences associated with medically necessary oral health care and presents a framework for evaluating medically necessary oral health care. The paper also describes the cost components of care and the dimensions of health consequences. Finally, an example illustrates this approach.The summary information presented here is meant to offer concepts and ideas important in assessing the costs and health consequences associated with medically necessary oral health care. Individuals interested in a more detailed discussion of economic evaluation of health care programs and outcomes assessment are referred elsewhere.10–23This is the text of a presentation to the Consensus Conference on Medically Necessary Oral Health Care, Chicago, IL, April 29–30, 1995, sponsored by the National Alliance for Oral

摘要:

This paper examines medical malpractice law as it applies to medically necessary oral health care. The basic legal concepts and reported cases involving medically necessary oral health care are reviewed. It is concluded that dental professionals and consumer advocates must advance their educational and legislative advocacy efforts so that health professional colleagues and the public will become aware of the importance of these services and insurers will routinely include coverage of medically necessary oral health care in their medical and dental policies. While failure to provide medically necessary oral health care can be violative of patient rights and legally actionable, medical malpractice litigation should always be the behavior modifier of last resort.
