What is PREDICT?
PREDICT is a quality improvement project designed to dramatically improve dental access while reducing dental disease and dental care costs. PREDICT stands for Population Centered, Risk-Based, Evidence-Based, Dental Inter-Professional Care Team. The target population for PREDICT is low-income children under age 21 and pregnant women (up to 2 months post-delivery). The goal is to manage dental care for this population in community settings and also change payment systems for dental care providers. The PREDICT model is being implemented in 7 "test" counties where there is potential to impact more than 40,000 lives. These counties were selected at random and include: Coos, Deschutes, Douglas, Jackson-Josephine, Klamath, Morrow and Wasco. Results will be compared with 7 "control" counties: Crook, Curry, Grant, Jefferson, Lake, Lincoln and Umatilla. Advantage Dental Services, LLC (Advantage) will provide the dental care and referral for treatment for PREDICT.
