30. And now …

31. Conclusion Conclusion: Feasible
The requirement for large scale public oral health surveys was met in full by the:
Deployed digital eCharting tool
Applied organizational approach

32. Recommendation Next steps Validate approach
Calibrate surveying dentists
Optimize eCharting tool
Scale up surveyed population (integrate initiatives)
So that ultimately
Regularly scheduled large scale public oral health surveys are conducted, and
Annual trends of population at large be monitored

33. Recommendation (2) Stake holders PDA Department of Education
Department of Health …
Yet to be determined
Multi-year program and schedule of scale up
Partners for scale up
