In this conceptual framework, the intervention is a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for primary care screening and care coordination at chairside that may be adapted for a variety of dental settings. Dental hygienists and their patients are the primary individuals involved, and successful implementation of this intervention may improve care coordination between dental settings and primary care practices, leading to improved patient care.
