Oral Health Integration Continuum Framework
A Self-Assessment Framework for Health Clinics and Care Teams
This framework helps health care organizations assess where they currently stand on the path toward fully integrated oral and medical care — and identify concrete next steps for improvement. Organized into five key components — communication, referrals, patient engagement services, data, and culture — the continuum describes three levels of integration for each component, from early-stage coordination to fully embedded, whole-person care workflows. Use it as a self-assessment and planning tool to guide your team's integration journey and track progress over time.
