No full textThe effectiveness of SMS Reminders and the impact of patient characteristics on missed appointments in a public dental outpatient clinic
No full textThis paper reports on the Failure To Attend (FTA) rate of appointments as well as patients following the implementation of SMS reminders in a public dental outpatient service. Given the ineffectiveness of the intervention and a highly representative patient’s profile, this paper identifies the demographic characteristics of patients who miss all of their appointments. Data on appointment attendance, patient demographics and dental service type was collected over a time period of 46 consecutive months. Using descriptive and inferential statistics (chi-square, two sample tests and Marascuilo procedure) we found the SMS intervention was ineffective in reducing the FTA rates. Further, patients associated with high rates of non-attendance exhibited one or more of the following characteristics: male; age 26 – 44; non-concession card holders; a person of Indigenous, local, Asian or African descent, and of refugee status, persons living in low socio-economic areas; and appointments in General Care and Student Clinics. Whilst the literature overwhelmingly attributes SMS reminders to improving the attendance rate of patients in outpatient clinics, our contradictory findings suggest a more targeted approach in settings whose patients exhibit strong characteristics associated with non-attendance
Evaluation of an intervention to promote minimally invasive dentistry (MID) in an Australian community dental agency—A pilot study
No full textOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of an intervention consisting of a 1‐day continuing professional development (CPD) education programme on the International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS(™)), and monthly performance feedback, and to promote minimally invasive dentistry (MID) for children aged under 12 years in an Australian community dental agency. The a priori hypotheses assumed the intervention would increase preventive services, and treatment demand was met. METHODS: A quasi non‐randomized controlled trial with convenience sampling method was adopted. Fourteen dental practitioners received the intervention. The prevalence of dental caries and gingivitis in Australian children was used to determine the treatment demand and used as the performance benchmark. Ten types of preventive and non‐preventive dental services were examined. A Difference‐in‐Differences (DiD) of 12‐month pre‐ (baseline) and post‐intervention analysis was performed. RESULTS: The intervention group demonstrated increases in topical fluoride application and dietary analysis and advice services. The standard care group had increases in oral prophylaxis or scale and clean, topical fluoride application and oral hygiene instructions (p‐value <0.05). The DiD analysis confirmed the above findings in the intervention group, while other preventive services declined. In the intervention group, the performance benchmark for oral prophylaxis or scale and clean and oral hygiene instructions was met at baseline and post‐intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Only a few preventive services had already met the performance benchmark. The intervention was associated with varied changes to preventive and non‐preventive dental services. More robust study design addressing the study limitations and validating the performance benchmark is required
