Imagine trying to fix a leaky faucet without knowing where the water is coming from or how to measure the drip. This project creates a shared set of rules and digital tools to measure how well dental care actually works for patients. It's like creating a universal health check-up manual that helps dentists, insurers, and governments get everyone the same high-quality treatment.
Oral care is the 3rd most expensive treatment area in the EU, yet it lacks standardized quality measurements. This leads to inefficient spending and poor access for vulnerable groups.
A Quality Toolkit containing manuals, interactive digital tools, and a set of quality indicators for monitoring oral care across the EU.
If you are a software developer dealing with a lack of standardized patient outcome data — this project developed interactive digital tools that track quality indicators. This allows you to build dashboards that prove the effectiveness of dental treatments.
If you are an insurer dealing with inefficient payment models for dental care — this project developed quality-oriented commissioning methods. This helps you pay for results rather than just the number of procedures performed.
If you are a clinic manager dealing with inconsistent patient satisfaction — this project developed PROMs and PREMs-based tools. These tools allow you to measure patient-reported outcomes to improve clinic ratings and care quality.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the tools.
Yes, the project is specifically designing an EU-wide monitoring framework and a Quality Toolkit intended for use at practice, community, and policy levels.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project aims to produce a Quality Toolkit with manuals.
The project includes a specific work package (WP7) dedicated to scrutinizing the regulatory determinants of oral care quality improvement.
The project period runs from 2022-08-01 to 2026-07-31, with the final synthesis occurring in the third phase.
The consortium is heavily research-driven with 6 universities and 2 research institutes, but it maintains a practical edge with 4 SMEs and 1 industry partner. Spanning 7 countries, the group balances academic rigor with the ability to test tools in real-world dental practices and policy environments.
