| Abstract |
|
The aims of this study were to evaluate quality indicators that can be applied to the dental care delivery system in Korea. This study was performed with a three-step process. Firstly, authors searched for quality indica-
tors developed in dentistry field. Among them, 80 quality indicators were selected as the indicators that used in
dental institutions, and then 33-item preliminary list was extracted through evaluation by 9 experts consisted of dental clinicians and professors (college of dentistry and department of dental hygiene). Based on this 33-item preliminary list, a Delphi process was conducted twice by a stakeholder group consisting of 17 panels (dentists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, professors of dental colleges, and dental hygiene professors). Each item of the preliminary list was classified into 5 domains of importance, relevance, feasibility, reliability, and sensitiv-ity. The panels were asked to rate from 0 to 3-point (very unnecessary - very appropriate) to the 5 domains of all items. As a result, the sealant treatment item received the most consent, and the item of whether unnecessary antibiotics is prescribed received the lowest preference. Among the 33 items, the items that received a score of 2.5 or higher were sealant, brushing, fluoride application, caries prevention, periodontal management, regular
check-up, continuity of treatment, and evaluation of current symptoms. This study was performed as basic re-
search. Based on international consensus on the definition of the quality of oral health care, development of new
measures is necessary to produce quality indicators that suitable for the dental setting in Korea. |
