Access to dental care for young children in North Carolina: history and current status of workforce issues.

The 2000 North Carolina IOM report contained 23 recommendations. To date 16 have been fully or partially implemented. This represents progress, but accomplishing full compliance remains a goal. Absent new training programs in our state, as current federal training grants phase-out, identifying financial support to continue training an adequate number of pediatric dentists for North Carolina will be a challenge.

Access to care and the allied oral health care workforce in Kansas: perceptions of Kansas dental hygienists and scaling dental assistants.

Access to oral health care continues to be a problem in the United States. Research has called for innovative approaches to improve access to oral health care and reduce oral health care disparities. Successful alternate approaches have been reported. In 1998 the Kansas Legislature passed a proposal to enhance access to care and manpower needs by allowing dental assistants to provide supragingival scaling, a service traditionally assigned to dental hygienists. In 2000, Mitchell et al. investigated the perceptions of Kansas dental hygienists and scaling dental assistants in relation to House Bill 2724 (HB 2724), which allows dental assistants to perform coronal scaling. The intent of the study was to collect baseline data in relation to HB 2724. The purpose of the present study was to follow up on the impact of HB 2724 six years after legislation. Both groups report satisfaction with their professions: scaling dental assistants believe the delivery of care in Kansas has changed, and areas of Kansas previously noted as dental health professional shortage areas are now served by either a registered dental hygienist or scaling dental assistant.

Diversity in the imaging workforce.

Culture is the coherent, learned, shared view a group of people has about life's concerns that ranks what is important, and instills attitudes about those things which are considered appropriate as well as prescribed behavior. It notes that some things have more significance than others. "Culture shock" is what happens when a person suddenly finds himself or herself in a place where "yes may mean "no," where a fixed price is negotiable, where to be kept in an outer office is not a cause for insult, and where laughter may signify anger Effective leaders should be able to vary their styles of management, such as leading, planning, organizing, motivating, decision making, staffing, and more importantly, communicating with groups of workers from different cultural backgrounds. Leaders need to perceive conflict as both a challenge and an opportunity. Awareness about team members' cultural similarities and differences is key to foster effective conflict resolution. Synergistic organizations transcend the distinct cultures of the team members. They use these differences as a resource in designing and developing organizational systems. Effective leaders must become a champion and capable of acting in many ways, not experts rigidly adhering to a single approach.

[French physicians in independent practice: opinions on their conditions of work and the issue of over/under staffing of medical workforce in their areas].

In France, ambulatory care is provided to patients mostly by independent physicians, GPs and specialists, paid on a fee-for-service basis. A national agreement between the Sickness Insurance Fund and the medical associations sets the price of different medical services. Due to the numerus clausus imposed upon the medical schools since the 70's, the yearly number of new graduates has sharply decreased and a feeling of manpower shortage has spread throughout the health system, in the public hospitals and the ambulatory care sector as well. Moreover increased dissatisfaction has been perceived among independent practitioners (they were 56 % of all the medical profession in early 2004). In this context, an opinion survey was undertaken among a sample of 3000 independent doctors whose one thousand have answered to the postal questionnaire.
