The OHNEP Interprofessional Oral Health Faculty Toolkit Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Program CURRICULUM INTEGRATION OF INTERPROFESSIONAL ORAL HEALTH CORE COMPETENCIES: • Adult-Gerontology Health Assessment • Adult-Gerontology Health Promotion • Adult-GerontologyPrimary Care • Resources © Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice (OHNEP) INTRODUCTION The Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice (OHNEP) program has developed an Interprofessional Oral Health Faculty Tool Kit to S! provide you with user friendly curriculum templates and teaching-learning resources to use when integrating oral health and its links to ! overall health in your Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner program. ! Oral health and its relation to overall health has been identified as an important population health issue. Healthy People 2020 (2011), the IOM Reports, Advancing Oral Health in America (2011) and Building Workforce Capacity in Oral Health (2011), as well as the IPEC Competencies ! (2011), challenged HRSA to develop interprofessional oral health core competencies for primary care providers. Publication of the report, ! Integrating Oral Health in Primary Care Practice (2014), reflects those interprofessional oral health competencies that can be used by Adult- Gerontology Nurse Practitioners for faculty development, curriculum integration and establishment of “best practices” in clinical settings. ! The HRSA interprofessional oral health core competencies, the IPEC competencies and the NONPF core competencies provide the framework for the curriculum templates and resources. Exciting teaching-learning strategies that take students from Exposure to Immersion to Competence can begin in the classroom, link to simulated or live clinical experiences and involve community-based service learning, advocacy and policy initiatives as venues you can readily use to integrate oral health into your existing primary care curriculum. The Adult- Gerontology Nurse Practitioner curriculum template illustrates how oral health can be integrated into health promotion, health assessment and clinical management courses. The Smiles for Life interprofessional oral health curriculum provides a robust web-based resource for you to use that articulates with the oral health curriculum template for each course. A good place to begin oral health integration is by transitioning the HEENT component of the history and physical exam to the HEENOT approach. In that way, you and your students will NOT forget about including oral health in patients encounters. Research evidence continues to reveal an integral relationship between oral and systemic health. Chronic diseases managed by Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioners, such as diabetes, Celiac and HIV, are but a few of the health problems that have oral manifestations that can be treated or referred to our dental colleagues. It is important for nurse practitioners on the frontline of primary care to have the oral health competencies necessary to recognize both normal and abnormal oral conditions and provide patients with education, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and referral as needed. We encourage you and your students to explore the resources in the templates as you “weave” oral health and its links to overall health into your Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner program.
