An Inner-City Community Center Has Existed in Your City for Several

Question 3

Multiple Choice

An inner-city community center has existed in your city for several decades to serve the local urban community. The center has provided varied social services to the community and offered a meeting place for the community members. Twenty years ago the center added a comprehensive health center that was approved and funded as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) . The FQHC has been providing comprehensive dental services for the last 10 years. However, a staff pediatrician at the FQHC has noted that she is unable to get dental appointments for her patients who have obvious dental caries. Dental services are primarily adult focused, with less than 7% of dental patients in the pediatric age range. Concerned about this problem of limited pediatric dental service availability, the pediatrician collaborated with colleagues to develop a proposal for presentation to the governing board of the health center to expand pediatric oral health services to include screening and risk assessment followed by preventive services, oral examination, and necessary dental treatment. The board accepted the proposal and appointed a committee to explore solutions and develop a grant proposal for increased HRSA funding to accomplish this goal.
-All of the following factors EXCEPT one have the potential to affect the oral health capacity of this FQHC. Which one is the EXCEPTION?


A) Medicaid dental coverage for very young children is expected to increase as provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010 are implemented.
B) The interprofessional collaborative practice (ICP) approach of the center is designed to integrate oral health care into the overall healthcare delivery system.
C) FQHCs provide comprehensive, culturally competent, and high-quality primary healthcare services.
D) FQHCs are required to employ teledentistry.
