RYAN WHITE TITLE III HIV CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING GRANTS - EQUITAS HEALTH’S FY2025 RWHAP PART C CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS REQUESTING $138,043 FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CREATION OF A MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC THAT WILL IMPROVE ORAL HEALTHCARE ACCESS FOR PLWH IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. BY ADDRESSING BARRIERS SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, HEALTH LITERACY, AND FEAR OF DENTAL CARE, THE INITIATIVE WILL PROVIDE PREVENTIVE AND RESTORATIVE SERVICES THROUGH A MOBILE UNIT EQUIPPED WITH A FULLY FUNCTIONAL DENTAL OPERATORY. THIS PROJECT WILL ENHANCE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL CARE, IMPROVE PATIENT ENGAGEMENT, AND PROMOTE LONG-TERM ORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY FACED DIFFICULTIES OBTAINING DENTAL SERVICES. CURRENTLY, PLWH STRUGGLE TO ACCESS DENTAL CARE DUE TO LOGISTICAL AND SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES. STUDIES SHOW THAT TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, FEAR OF DENTAL PROCEDURES, AND COMPLEX ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES PREVENT PEOPLE FROM SEEKING NECESSARY TREATMENT. THE MOBILE CLINIC WILL BE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED IN HIGH-NEED NEIGHBORHOODS, ENSURING CARE REACHES THE TARGET POPULATION. BY BRINGING SERVICES DIRECTLY INTO THE COMMUNITY, THE PROJECT WILL CREATE A LESS INTIMIDATING AND MORE ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. THE INITIATIVE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THREE KEY PHASES. FIRST, A DENTAL OPERATORY WILL BE INSTALLED IN AN EXISTING MOBILE HEALTH UNIT, EQUIPPING IT TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL SERVICES. THIS PHASE INCLUDES PROCURING AND INSTALLING DENTAL EQUIPMENT. SECOND, A ROBUST OUTREACH AND MARKETING CAMPAIGN WILL RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE MOBILE CLINIC, UTILIZING DIGITAL PLATFORMS, CASE MANAGERS, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO CONNECT INDIVIDUALS WITH SERVICES. THIRD, PATIENT SCHEDULING AND SERVICE DELIVERY WILL BEGIN, ENSURING INDIVIDUALS CAN ACCESS DENTAL CARE THROUGH A STREAMLINED APPOINTMENT SYSTEM. PATIENTS WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RANGE OF TREATMENTS, INCLUDING CLEANINGS, FILLINGS, EXTRACTIONS, SEALANTS, FLUORIDE APPLICATIONS, ROOT CANALS, AND X-RAYS. A DEDICATED CARE COORDINATION TEAM WILL ASSIST WITH SCHEDULING, PAPERWORK, AND FOLLOW-UP TO ENSURE CONTINUITY OF CARE. WHEN NEEDED, PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO FIXED-SITE DENTAL CLINICS FOR MORE COMPLEX PROCEDURES. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS CENTRAL TO THE PROJECT’S SUCCESS. EH WILL ACTIVELY GATHER INPUT FROM PATIENTS THROUGH ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND POST-APPOINTMENT SATISFACTION SURVEYS. THIS FEEDBACK WILL BE USED TO REFINE AND IMPROVE SERVICES OVER TIME. ADDITIONALLY, STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS, AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS WILL STRENGTHEN THE PROGRAM’S EFFECTIVENESS. SUSTAINABILITY WILL BE ENSURED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF EH GENERAL REVENUE, REIMBURSEMENT THROUGH FEE-FOR-SERVICE MODELS, AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS. ULTIMATELY, THE MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC WILL SERVE AS A CRITICAL RESOURCE IN REDUCING DISPARITIES AND IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR PLWH IN CENTRAL OHIO.
