ENHANCING COLLABORATION BETWEEN DENTISTS AND NURSING THROUGH HEALTH INFORMATICS TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE QUALITY
Abstract
Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential in modern healthcare to provide holistic and patient-centered care. Dentists and nurses often work in silos, yet their combined expertise can significantly improve patient outcomes, especially in areas like oral-systemic health, chronic disease management, and post-operative care. Health informatics serves as a powerful tool to bridge these gaps, facilitating communication, data sharing, and coordinated care delivery.
This research explores how integrating health informatics can enhance collaboration between dentists and nurses, thereby improving healthcare quality. It delves into the current state of collaboration, identifies challenges, and highlights health informatics-driven strategies to address these gaps.
