日本全民医疗保险制度于2012年引入围手术期口腔管理(POM)。与牙科诊所的合作对于没有牙科部门的医院来说很重要。一位新被指派为患者流动管理中心成员的牙科卫生员主持了一次研讨会，以促进通过网络进行合作。本研究是探讨医院口腔卫生人员在区域口腔医疗合作中可能扮演的角色的第一步，通过问卷调查评估他们参与提供此类服务的意愿。方法通过网络研讨会后的问卷调查，对参与者的满意率和合作中存在的问题进行评估。所有的医院牙医，但在诊所工作的牙医中，只有47.8%的人参加过POM。牙科保健师比牙医更愿意参与POM。所有受访者对牙科保健员作为医院与当地诊所医牙合作的关键管理者的作用表示赞赏。结论驻医院的牙科保健员可以在POM网络研讨会的策划和管理中发挥作用，以提高对POM的认识，促进区域医牙合作。
IntroductionPerioperative oral management (POM) was introduced into the Japanese universal health insurance system in 2012. Collaboration with dental clinics is important for hospitals without a dentistry department. A dental hygienist newly assigned as a member of the patient flow management centre led a seminar to promote collaboration via the web. This study represents the first step to explore the possible role of the hospital‐based dental hygienist in the field of regional medical–dental cooperation of POM by assessing their willingness to participate in providing this type of care by a survey.MethodsThe rate of attendees' satisfaction and the current problems of the collaboration for POM were evaluated through a questionnaire survey after the web seminar.ResultsAll respondents reported satisfaction with the web seminar although it was the first experience of an online seminar for half of the respondents. All hospital dentists, but only 47.8% of dentists working at clinics, had participated in POM. Dental hygienist tended to show greater desire to participate in POM than dentists. All respondents appreciated the role played by the dental hygienist as a key manager of medical–dental collaboration between the hospital and local clinics.ConclusionThe hospital‐based dental hygienist can play a role in planning and management of web seminars for POM, to raise awareness and promote regional medical–dental cooperation of POM.
