It can mean meeting people in hospitals, food distribution centers, religious meeting places, or social service agencies. It can also mean meeting people in prisons and jails, drug and alcohol treatment centers, or crack-houses.
The dental case manager is the glue that keeps the program together.

Building the Case for NAHC’s Patient Navigator (Pre-2006)
Wide range of dental services offered at NAHC– Compact dental team focusing on clinical services
Referrals for HIV+ persons from 14+ agencies to NAHC dental
Sporadic success in managing dental treatment – Sometimes resulted in incomplete appointments, missed
appointments– Confusion on the part of the patient, NAHC and referring agency– Dentist or over burdened receptionist often requesting + med info– Most treatment plan completions for patients with the least
amount of access issues– 35% no-show rate for dental appointments from HIV+ patients
referred from partner agencies1

Creating Dental Case Management
The chicken or the egg?
Option 1:
Dental staff and train for case management
Option 2:
Case manager and upgrade dental i.q.
Patient Navigator-GOALS
Increase Access– Identify barriers to care during interviews, and treatment;
customize support or ancillary services Intro the idea of a dental home
– Patient will identify with NAHC, their dentist, and dental case manager as THEIR provider, fostering understanding and motivation towards treatment plan completion
Build Team Mentality– Build cohesiveness of the dental team– Bridge resources with medical case managers– Bridge resources for referrals– Partner w. the patient, and care givers to meet their needs and
accomplish their dental goals– Identify other medical or community resources for the patient
