As a dental hygiene faculty member, you collaborate with a local hospital to develop a dental clinic for special needs patients. You form an interdisciplinary committee to plan the clinic and its programs, seek grant funding, and pursue policy changes to facilitate the program. Plans include the use of an interprofessional collaborative practice (ICP) approach to operating the dental clinic.
-To increase workforce capacity and access to dental services, and to reduce program costs, the committee explores the idea of pursuing a mid-level practitioner workforce model and direct access for dental hygienists in the state as a pilot project. Because this would require legislative action, the committee meets with representatives from the state health department, members of the legislature, and state dental board members to discuss this possible initiative. What role of the dental hygienist are you filling as you pursue this legislative proposal?
