Logistic regression analysis of medical care gap closure,* by total MDI† population and MDI model type.
| MDI POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS | ODDS RATIO | 95% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL | p VALUE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total MDI Population | |||
| MDI population | 1.46 | 1.29–1.65 | < .0001 |
| Non-MDI population | 1.00 | NA‡ | NA |
| MDI Model Type, Dental Clinic | |||
| Least integration: Colocated medical and dental office, nonembedded medical staff. Salmon Creek | 1.18 | 1.02–1.37 | < .0007 |
| Moderate integration: Stand-alone dental office, embedded medical staff. Glisan | 1.70 | 1.36–2.12 | < .0346 |
| Most integration: Colocated medical and dental office, embedded medical staff. Beaverton, Cedar Hills | 2.08 | 1.73–2.50 | < .0001 |
| Non-MDI population | 1.00 | NA | NA |
Population includes patients enrolled in Medicare who were patients 65 years or older with 1 or more care gaps at baseline. All care gap closure assessed at 30 days after index visit, except for fecal immunochemical testing, mammography, annual diabetes mellitus examination, retinopathy examination, and smoking cessation, which was assessed at 60 days after index visit. P value from logistic regression analysis.
MDI: Medical-dental integration.
NA: Not applicable.
