Dental Leaders Collaborate to Advance EHR
Interoperability, Mentor Young Dentists, Empower Women Dentists,
and Promote the Economic Benefits of Expanded Oral Health
Coverage
Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC) will participate in and
present at the FDI World Dental Congress 2024 taking place in
Istanbul, Turkey, from September 12-15, 2024. The FDI World Dental
Federation (FDI) represents more than 1 million dentists from 134
different countries and comprises approximately 200 national member
dental associations and specialist groups.
At this year’s Congress, FDI's Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Task Team will unveil its inaugural Consensus Statement. This
statement, the culmination of a 2022 Henry Schein-supported
project, outlines the essential EHR data fields that should be
shared between medical and dental professionals to facilitate
seamless interprofessional collaboration and comprehensive patient
care. Additionally, there will be presentations and gatherings
arising from initiatives supported by Henry Schein, including a
young dental professionals forum, initiatives to support women in
dentistry, and a panel discussion highlighting the economic
benefits of including oral health coverage within health care
policies and plans.
“The FDI is the global convener for organized dentistry, and its
annual Congress brings together global dental professionals,
leading academics, and industry stakeholders to showcase the latest
advancements and best practices in dentistry and discuss
opportunities for implementation partnerships,” said David Kochman,
Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Henry Schein. “This year’s
Congress will showcase key aspects of Henry Schein’s commitment to
innovation, excellence in the oral health industry, and deep
collaboration with the profession.”
Advancing the Integration of Electronic Health Records in
Dentistry
On September 13, Dr. Ryan Hungate, Chief Clinical Officer at
Henry Schein One, will present on “Interprofessional Collaboration:
Reforming Health Systems Through Electronic Health Records,”
discussing the importance of standardized data fields across
medical and dental EHRs to improve interoperability and patient
care.
Dr. Hungate’s presentation is part of a larger, multi-year
collaboration between Henry Schein and FDI to establish
standardized benchmark best practices of interoperability for
specific information field sharing across medical and dental EHRs.
The EHR Task Team – led by Dr. Mark Wolff (USA) and Dr. Jina Linton
(Korea) – will share FDI’s first Consensus Statement on EHR
interoperability, including a core set of oral health indicators
and baseline EHR interoperability standards that should be shared
across medical and dental EHRs to advance interprofessional
collaboration. This initiative aligns with the Company’s commitment
to advancing interprofessional collaboration and transforming
health care delivery through technology and innovation.
Supporting the Next Generation of Dentists
As a founding supporter of the Young Dentists Forum, Henry
Schein will once again participate in the second edition of this
global program to convene, inspire, and empower young dental
professionals. The program offers practitioners, researchers, and
students a unique opportunity to connect with a global community,
learn from industry leaders, present their work, and gain valuable
insights into the latest advancements in dentistry.
The 2024 Young Dentists Forum will take place September 13-14,
2024, and will include, among other notable events, comments from
Nicola Loynes, Vice President, Special Markets EMEA at Henry
Schein, on the afternoon of September 13, and a keynote
presentation by Dr. Miguel Stanley (Portugal), who will lead a
session entitled, “Leading in Dentistry: Mindset for Success.”
Empowering Women in Dentistry
On September 13, 2024, the FDI Section of Women Dentists
Worldwide will offer a full-day learning and networking session to
educate and connect female dental leaders across the globe. Among
Henry Schein’s panel participants discussing the topic of how we
can improve women dentists’ competitiveness in the dental arena
will be Ms. Loynes and Dr. Sara Hurley, Senior Consultant, Global
Professional Relations at Henry Schein.
Developing the Economic Case for Investing in Oral
Health
Finally, Henry Schein is excited to convene a panel discussion
highlighting the economic benefits of investing in oral health on
September 14, 2024, as part of the World Economic Forum's (WEF)
Oral Health Affinity Group, of which Henry Schein is a founding
partner. This global initiative seeks to unite industry leaders and
stakeholders to address the pressing challenges facing oral health
worldwide and advance the economic rationale for national
governments and all payors to provide comprehensive oral health
coverage as part of the broader case for universal health coverage.
A recent WEF paper sets forth the longitudinal data evidencing the
strong correlation between oral health and overall health outcomes,
along with the attendant benefits to population health, employee
productivity, and family stability. By showcasing the Oral Health
Affinity Group’s work at the FDI World Dental Congress, Henry
Schein and its partners hope to further awareness and dialogue with
the goal of increasing oral health coverage as part of overall
health care policies and economic stimulus strategies.
