The Azara DRVS Dental Module is a specialized component designed to provide healthcare organizations with comprehensive dental population health management capabilities. Rather than treating dental and medical data as separate silos, this module integrates oral health information with medical records to enable a complete understanding of patient health and the correlation between oral and systemic conditions. The module addresses a critical gap in population health management by offering dental-specific clinical measures, scorecards, alerts, and registry data elements that allow organizations to maximize dental care quality, foster dental integration across care teams, and drive quality improvement. Healthcare organizations can access caries risk data to explore trends, identify patients with outstanding dental treatment needs, and recognize those with active periodontal disease. The module enables creation of custom registries and cohorts using dental registry data elements, supporting both dental population analysis and dental provider panel management. By combining data from both medical and dental health records, organizations gain deeper understanding of their dental populations and can identify correlations between oral health conditions and chronic diseases such as the relationship between uncontrolled diabetes and periodontitis. The module integrates seamlessly with existing DRVS workflows, including Patient Visit Planning Reports and Care Management Passports, allowing dental care gaps to be addressed during patient visits. With pre-built scorecards, measures, and registry data elements, users can generate comprehensive dental reports with a single click, saving time and resources. The Dental Module has achieved significant adoption, with over 65 community health centers across 13 states implementing these measures since launch.
