What is Systemic Health?
Systemic health recognizes the fundamental
interconnectedness of all bodily systems to an
individual’s overall health and well-being.
The Importance of an Integrated Care Approach to Systemic Health
Benefits:
- Patients: Better health outcomes; lower costs; more convenient care and reduced time visiting providers; reduced stress on individuals and families
- Providers: Healthier and happier patients; expanded patient base and higher revenue
- Society: Lower health care costs; higher societal productivity due to less healthcare complications; improved health equity
- Cost: A prevention and wellness approach leads to savings for individuals, private payors, and the U.S. Healthcare System
An integrated care approach recognizes the importance of patient-centered care, the opportunity to close care gaps, and advance healthy equity, and the necessity of shifting away from sick care to a model of preventive care and wellness, underscoring the importance of maintaining routine medical, dental, mental health care.
Current Barriers to Integrated Care
- Education Model: Aspiring and current Dental and Medical practitioners are educated in silos
- Behavior: Practitioners need to be motivated to have a vested interest in each other’s respective professions
- Scope of Practice: Relevant governing boards in each state must permit the respective professions to conduct diagnosis and recommend treatments/care plans without fear of violating their licensure
- Reimbursement Potential: Providers engaging in interdisciplinary care should not have to do so as charity or at a loss
- Infrastructure: Every healthcare professional — medical, dental and mental health—must be empowered with the patient data (i.e., integrated health records) and tools (i.e., products, testing, etc.) to provide care
