Consortium for Oral Health Systems Integration and Improvement

OHRC, in partnership with the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD) and the Dental Quality Alliance (DQA), was awarded a cooperative agreement for the Consortium for Oral Health Systems Integration and Improvement (COHSII). COHSII was a 3-year project (2021–2024) funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration.

COHSII was a national partnership serving the public health community. The purpose of the project was to expand access to integrated preventive oral health care for the maternal and child health (MCH) population, particularly in safety net sites, by providing high-quality oral health technical assistance (TA), training, and resources. COHSII addressed three goals: (1) identifying gaps and barriers, (2) improving systems of care, and (3) translating evidence to practice.

COHSII continued and expanded activities of the Center for Oral Health Systems Integration and Improvement (2017–2021), which addressed three goals: (1) providing TA and training to states and Maternal and Child Health Bureau–funded oral health projects, (2) establishing a set of MCH oral health quality indicators, and (3) developing and disseminating resources.
