Barriers

What barriers would there be to implementing these changes?

staff and money

Not enough tequila

I don’t think I would have a barrier i have a good relationship with my community and can share this information with them.

limited resources to accommodate special needs population-physical plant limitations. limited staffing.
We are not FQHC-no additional financial resources to pay for needed changes

The medical needs are great but at times resources are not readily available unless a person has to travel great distances to find specialty providers.

Barriers are almost always present because people do not consider baby teeth to be important because they will be lost. People do not want to take the time to brush their children’s teeth; they put them to bed with bottles containing sugary liquids, including milk and formula; they do not always take their children to the dentist as needed because they do not have access, transportation, or they just don’t care!

Access and identifying training programs

proper tools in office for seeing special needs patients

I don’t see any barriers, it is something all clinics should do. Referring a patient from medical to dental and dental to medical and integrating the electronic record system so that each clinic can see the patient history and medication list on file.

NA

N/A

None

pts going through with the referrals

lacking infrastructure for sharing of information with other providers

Time will be the only barrier I would have.

no barriers

Only barriers I can think of may be communicating with other areas of care in an effective manner and with cooperation in those other areas . Getting the way of thinking about integrating all aspects of health care and opening communication in an effective manner between different entities as well as documentation of all communications .

none

None.

Buy in from some of the staff

N/A

Having more track specifically for CHW’s as I stated many felt that some sessions were very informative but way above our level of service or it was geared more to the professional medical providers.

To implement a system that would merge Community Medicine and Dental Professionals, embracing the comprehensive needs.

The only barriers I foresee is getting the community involved to attend our group sessions and our community events. We sometimes go into the schools and the young people are the one that pass on the information presented. The young people are good at educating their parents or grandparents.

Time and money.

None

Reaching out to dental professionals that are passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise.

None

Barriers will be limitations of the american health care system.

Time

Addressing to providers at the IHS level.

reaching out to these types of patients’

Funds and Oncology resources in Santa Fe.

Patient resistance.

Getting people to attend the workshops can be challenging. I get verbal acceptance and they agree to attend the workshop but then do not show. Transportation to and from the event can also be a barrier.

Difficult to do if you do not have buy-in from all practitioners.
