Wayne Cottam, DMD, MS Tuesday, October 25 National Harbor, MD Oral Health Workforce: Productivity Standards and Equipment/Staffing Ratios to Fulfill YOUR Mission Wayne Cottam, DMD, MS Tuesday, October 25 National Harbor, MD

Part of NNOHA’s developing Practice Management Resources Current chapters in development for the Operations Manual for Health Center Oral Health Programs include: Health Center Fundamentals – Published! Leadership – Published! Financials – Published! Risk Management – Published! Workforce and Staffing – Coming Soon! Quality – Coming Soon!

Staffing Requirements One size does NOT fit all. HRSA guidelines are just that – guidelines. They are good ones though. Consider: Mission, vision and values of the program Service area and demographic knowledge Growth expectations Scope of services State practice regulations and flexibility of dental workforce Quality management

Dental Assistant-to-Dentist Ratio: For Health Centers, NNOHA recommends 2.0 or more full-time dental assistants per 1 full-time dentist for optimum service. This ratio usually can provide between 2,500 and 3,000 visits annually. Some practice experts even recommend a minimum of 3.0 full-time dental assistants for 1 full-time dentist, especially when the state practice act allows the use of EFDAs

Dental Hygienists Preferably, dental hygienists should have a separate and dedicated operatory. One dental hygienist generally can provide 1,300 to 1,500 visits annually. Dental hygienists are best added after a practice develops a sufficient recall list for preventive services, typically after the first 6 to 12 months of operation.

Equipment Ratios Consider this Health Center formula for equipment: Minimum of 2 dental operatories per FTE dentist. 3 operatories per full-time dentist enables the program to function at peak efficiency. If expanded functions and EFDA restorative services are available in the program, a minimum of 3 chairs should be available per 1 full-time dentist.

Equipment Ratios (Cont’d) Dental hygienists greatly improve their efficiency and are able to see more patients if a dedicated dental assistant plus another operatory chair are added i.e., two operatories per full-time dental hygienist.

Encounter Rates & Productivity Standards Factors to consider: Scope of service allowed in each state The number of support staff Equipment Patient mix Patient needs

Encounter Rates & Productivity Standards (Cont’d) There are different benchmarks: 2010 Uniform Data System (UDS) The average annual visit rates are 2,672 per dentist and 1,338 for dental hygienists Some Health Centers use the RVU system as a standard for productivity, as it enables a director to quantify the output of services performed by the provider. Some Health Centers use the dollar value system. More on productivity standards: http://www.dentalclinicmanual.com/docs/Productivity_measures.pdf

For More Information… Look for the release of the “Workforce and Staffing” chapter toward the end of 2011!
