I think that, for me, part of the appeal of data analytics / data science is the aspect of seeking structure in chaos. My executive functioning skills have been especially suffering during work-from-home times, but my graduate studies are helping me build the skills to take the chaos and disorder and translate it into an organized format that can then be analyzed, optimized, and used to better-understand the big picture.

Since I’m still floating around in survive-then-thrive mode, I don’t yet have the time to put together any helpful tips for others to consider; however, doing so is ultimately my major goal for this blog. Some topics I’ve already been learning and hope to address soon via new content are:

Identifying reliable research via 6 key characteristics

Building a strong hypothesis for a research study

Designing effective research methods

Understanding key concepts in beginner database management and design

Skills I haven’t learned yet but eventually want to share:

Programming in R

Programming in SQL

...and likely SO much more

COVID-19 and Dentistry: Challenges and Opportunities

Background

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) effectively shut down approximately 198,000 active dentists and dental specialists in the USA.  As individual states authorize the resumption of routine dental care, discussion has centered on how to provide safe oral healthcare, care that has been defined in a previous primer, given the nature of the virus and how easily it may be dispersed during common dental procedures. However, the time has come to look beyond treating urgent dental care needs and start planning for resumption of routine dental care and finding creative ways to care for dental patients who are reluctant to come to the dental office for the foreseeable future. This will be a challenging task given the uncertainty surrounding the timeline for resolution of this pandemic.

The Patient Safety Challenges

(Infection control and prevention in the dental office setting) Dental professionals are very familiar with occupational health issues and corresponding risk assessments in order to reduce risk, and with applying Standard Precautions for minimizing spread of infection directly or through cross-contamination. Preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 requires new management strategies that may differ from those used to manage other diseases. COVID-19’s incubation period can range from 2-14 days (median, 4 days), and while the virus is known to be highly transmissible when patients are most symptomatic, transmission can occur before any symptoms are apparent. Additionally, the majority of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 may have no symptoms or symptoms that resemble seasonal allergies or influenza, contributing to a significant number of undiagnosed cases. Hence, even asymptomatic dental patients should be considered as potential carriers and therefore it is recommended to implement a routine screening process for both patients and staff, to ensure that both symptomatic and recently exposed individuals stay home for the safety of all patients and dental team members.

Re-configuring Dental Practice

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, new challenges may prevent the return to routine delivery of non-emergent care. Up-to-date recommendations for communications, protocols, and physical measures must be in place to resume safe patient care. For example, interim guidance from the ADA includes:

Sending patients reassurance letters;

Implementing a pre-appointment screening process via text, telephone, or email to ensure that patients with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 – or recent exposure to infected individuals - do not travel to the dental office;

Expanding the in-office registration process to screen out patients with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or who have been exposed to or recently tested for SARS-CoV-2; to provide and require proper use of a face mask; to check patients’ temperature (<100.4°F) with a thermometer; and to provide wipes or materials to clean pens,     clipboards, counters, phones, keyboards, light switches, and other “high     touch” surfaces;

Extending time between patients, as necessary, to allow for proper cleaning and decontamination of examination rooms;

Extensive preparation strategies for the physical office and staff to prepare the environment and familiarize the staff with new policies and procedures to reduce the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2;

Implementing a chairside checklist to prepare operatories;

Staff protection strategies that may include recommendations for in-office clothing (emphasizing that clinical attire should only be worn in the     dental practice, not back to staff members’ homes or other community     settings, to prevent cross contamination of SARS-Cov-2), special guidance for staff who are pregnant or have other factors that increase the risk of severe COVID-19 disease, and a COVID-19 daily screening log for dental team members to use before entering the practice;

Limiting the number of patients in the waiting room at the same time; as part of physical distancing; and

Using tele-dentistry such as real-time video consultations to determine if a patient’s oral health needs can be handled remotely.

PDA Interim Guidelines

Based on the recommendations of the DOH, WHO, and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the PDA issued a series of guidelines to avoid the spread of COVID-19, urging a no-contact screening procedure. The recommended guidelines are as follows:

1. Dentists and all staff must wear the prescribed personal protective equipment (PPE) including protective eyewear, surgical mask, disposable caps, and disposable gloves.

2. Dentists should screen patients by phone before confirming an appointment to avoid close physical contact with persons infected with COVID-19.

3. Elective procedures are not allowed.

4. Only immediate concerns such as pain, infection, oromaxillofacial conditions, or trauma can be addressed by dentists. Patients for these urgent dental concerns are required to fill up a screening form, including their companion.

5. Patients with temperature higher than 37.3°C or 99.14°F and with respiratory disease will be referred to a hospital immediately 

Dental Opportunities

During the pandemic, many dental personnel have been redeployed to frontline health services to provide a range of clinical procedures beyond their usual scope of practice. The scale and pace of this integration of dental personnel into the wider health system has been remarkable. Dentists, dental hygienists or therapists, and dental nurses, have all had a substantial effect in supporting health service delivery during this crisis and have developed new skills and clinical knowledge in the process. Rather than being isolated and separated from mainstream health care, this crisis has clearly shown that dental personnel can be integrated into the wider system—the challenge ahead is to delineate the clinical roles of dental personnel in a more integrated model of care. The COVID-19 pandemic presents several opportunities for dental researchers to focus on key issues. Important research priorities may include estimating the costs and benefits of expanded PPE use (and other changes in dental practice workflows), developing and testing innovative approaches to minimize aerosol generation during dental procedures, testing and validating tele-dentistry models, and evaluating alternative dental workforce models, such as dental therapists.
