Learning healthcare systems are foundational for measuring and achieving value in oral health care. This paper describes the components of a preventive dental care program and the quality of care in a large dental accountable care organization. A retrospective study design describes and evaluates the cross-sectional measures of process of care (PoC), appropriateness of care (AoC), and outcomes of care (OoC) extracted from the electronic health record (EHR), between 2014–2019. Annual and composite measures are derived from EHR-based clinical decision support for risk determination, diagnostic and treatment terminology, and DMFT measures. Annually, 253,515 ± 27,850 patients were cared for with 618,084 ± 80,559 visits, 209,366 ± 22,300 exams and 2,072,844 ± 300,363 clinical procedures. PoC metrics included provider adherence (98.3%) in completing caries risk assessments and patient receipt (96.9%) of a proactive dental care plan. AoC metrics included patients receiving prevention according to the risk-based protocol. The percent of patients at risk for caries receiving fluoride varnish was 95.4 ± 0.4%. OoC metrics included untreated decay and new decay. The 6-year average prevalence of untreated decay was 11.3 ± 0.3%, and average incidence of new decay was 13.6 ± 0.5%, increasing with risk level: low=7.5%, medium=18.8%, high=29.4% and extreme=28.1%. The preventive dental care system demonstrates excellent provider adherence to the evidence-based prevention protocol, with measurably better dental outcomes by patient risk compared to national estimates. These achievements are enabled by a value-centric, accountable model of care and incentivized by a compensation model aligned with performance measures.
