FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 9
Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of the grantee to conform to any federal, state

the parties that the State shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely from the
negligent or willful acts or omissions of the State, be indemnified by the grantee from and
against any and all Claims. It is agreed that the grantee will be responsible for primary loss
investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification is applicable. In
consideration of the award of this grant, the grantee agrees to waive all rights of subrogation
against the State for losses arising from the work performed by the grantee for the State.

liability, including costs and expenses, for infringement of any patent, trademark or copyright
arising out of grant performance or use by the State of materials furnished or work performed

which it may be liable under this paragraph. This paragraph does not apply if the grantee is
insured pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-621.

any, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the State as described in this Section unless the
subcontractor or subgrantee is a state agency.

Section do not apply, except that such governmental entity grantee shall provide a Certificate
of Self-Insurance. If the governmental entity grantee is a department, agency, board,
commission or university of the State of Arizona, then the Certificate of Self-Insurance
requirement does not apply either.
16.2. The grantee shall procure and maintain until all of its obligations have been discharged or
satisfied, including any warranty periods under this Grant Agreement, insurance in the amounts
stated below against claims for injury to persons or damage to property which may arise from

In response to the RFGA, Maricopa County Department of Public Health's First Teeth First
program will merge with Dignity Health's Early Childhood Oral Health Program (ECOHP) to form
one program to provide a coordinated approach to oral health prevention services in Maricopa
County. Additionally, a partnership with Arizona Department of Health Services, Office of Oral
Health (ADHS OOH) will allow billing for fluoride varnish services through the Arizona Health Care
Cost Containment system (AHCCCS). Effective July 1, the new collaborative oral health program
will be First Teeth First. First Teeth First will provide preventive oral health education, screening,
and fluoride varnish to children ages zero to five in an effort to decrease the number of children
with early childhood tooth decay and the associated risks for pain and infections that can lead to
lifelong complications to health and wellbeing. As requested in the First Things First oral health
strategy, First Teeth First will provide outreach and training to medical and dental professionals
that serve the target population.
Services will continue at Women, Infant and Children (WIC) clinics, Immunization clinics
and will collaborate with preschools, childcare providers, school districts, and other community
based organizations to provide oral health screening and fluoride varnish treatments to children
and oral health education to children and their families, pregnant women, and caregivers.
Educational supplies will be provided to all those who receive services including a toothbrush kit
and referral information as appropriate. Because First Teeth First and Dignity Health will continue
offering services seamlessly and uninterrupted the expectation will be to exceed the TSUs
A medical model of fluoride varnish application and education will provide cost effective,
high quality and compassionate care. A community-based approach provides opportunities for
underserved children to receive oral health screenings, education, fluoride varnish and referrals.
The program utilizes the expertise of both dental and medical professionals to provide a
comprehensive approach to oral health prevention services.
The First Teeth First program and Dignity Health currently provide services throughout
Maricopa County to the target population. In this partnership, 15 WIC locations, 8 Immunization
clinics, approximately 164 childcare centers, 93 preschools, 38 Head Starts receive services,
complemented with approximately 115 community events. The programs will continue to utilize
registered dental hygienists, nurses, bilingual site assistants and health educators for services
within the program.
Success is measured by meeting or exceeding the proposed service numbers, increased
understanding of the importance of early childhood oral health, and increased access to dental
care. Parent understanding is assessed by administering satisfaction surveys after services are
rendered. This quantitative evaluation provides an overview of services provided (including
general results) to childcare centers and preschools. A reminder for services six months later is
provided. Monthly quality assurance assessments are utilized to increase consistency of patient
care and process of care. An established referral model developed with AHCCCS Early and Periodic
Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) Coordinators provides access to care and
comprehensive services including efforts to establish dental homes. These feedback loops and
measurement tools demonstrate the program's ability to achieve proposed TSUs, overall program
satisfaction, provider quality assurance and quality patient care. Program evaluation has been
conducted annually since fiscal year 2012. An updated report will be completed in May 2015,
summarizing December 2011 through February 2015 program data.

Respond to each of the following items:
1. Provide examples of experience implementing related programs and the outcomes of
those programs. It should be noted that past performance on any grants may be taken
into consideration in the evaluation of your proposal.
Dignity Health has been providing oral health prevention services in Phoenix's East Valley
since 2005. Oral screening and fluoride varnish services provided at immunization clinics
highlighted the need for preventive dental services and in 2008, the Children's Dental Clinic began
providing full preventive services to low-income children at a school-based clinic. In 2010 Dignity
Health launched the Early Childhood Oral Health Program (ECOHP), funded by First Things First, to
meet the needs of very young children and their families. The ECOHP provides oral health
education, screening, and fluoride varnish application to children at WIC offices, Head Start and
preschool classrooms, childcare centers, immunization clinics, and Family Resource Centers.
Recurring visits provide the opportunity to reinforce good brushing and nutrition habits through
child-friendly education sessions which include the use of puppets, books, pictures, and hands-on
activities. Additionally, repeat visits offer fluoride varnish application two to four times per year
for each participating child. Through these two programs, Dignity Health provides approximately
800 clinic appointments, 3000 screenings and fluoride varnish applications and more than 20,000
education encounters every year. Dignity Health has a proven record of meeting its grant
obligations and has met all past and current targeted service numbers. These established
locations and partnerships allow for a continued effective and flourishing delivery system of care.
Since implementation of services with First Things First funding in 2010, Dignity Health has
provided 19,348 basic oral screenings for children in the East Valley through January 2015. Of
those children that received an oral health screening, 17,158 received fluoride varnish. With the
strong community presence and program experience, we look to continue providing these
preventive services to the community as an integrated program. Dignity Health has noticed
consistent growth in the number of children receiving basic oral screenings and fluoride varnish
applications. Successful outcomes with educating patients and families on proper oral health
behaviors and external influences have created a more steady growth rate.
A variety of factors impact the services provided in the community which result in
fluctuations in the number of children served from year to year. In 2010, when Arizona passed
SB1070, Dignity Health saw decreased attendance at many community sites. Decreased
attendance was further noted at immunization clinics when the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention ruled that children with insurance could no longer receive no-cost vaccines through the
Vaccines for Children Program. Program success can also contribute to service number
fluctuations. As parents and caregivers become more aware of the importance of healthy oral
habits and early dental visits, it was found that children were receiving dental exams and fluoride
varnish applications at dental offices, resulting in a decrease in consent return rate. Program staff
used data analysis to identify those clinics with declining participation and adjusted clinic
frequency. Additional partnerships were developed to compensate for the fluctuation.
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 16
In 2011, First Teeth First was funded by First Things First to provide varnish services and aid
in the oral health strategy mission. First Teeth First has provided direct preventive services at
some point within the following First Things First Regions: NW Maricopa, SW Maricopa, NE
Maricopa, North Phoenix, Central Phoenix and South Phoenix (previous regional names used).
This fluoride varnish program was new to all of the regions and full implementation was required.
Creation of a training manual, hiring of personnel, training of personnel, opening of each
permanent location (11 currently), creating partnerships with community dental clinics to refer the
urgent needs children to, provide outreach into the community to provide services at childcare
centers, preschools, and community events. Since the inception of First Teeth First, the program
has witnessed consistent growth, especially related to the Target Service Unit deliverables. With
this new grant First Things First can expect First Teeth First to continue providing optimal oral
health services and successful outcomes related to target service units.
Since implementation of services with First Things First funding in 2011, Maricopa County
First Teeth First program has grown immensely since the inception of the program. The oral
health program provided approximately 10,000 children with screenings and fluoride varnish in
the first year of services. With the number of children screened increasing each year, First Teeth
First has accumulated 56,305 basic oral screenings for children in Maricopa County through
February 2015. Of those children that received an oral health screening, 50,849 have received
fluoride varnish. Maricopa County First Teeth First program has become the largest fluoride
varnish program in the state and recognition of the program's services has become well known
within the community by providers and patients alike.
2. Describe your agency/organization's professional knowledge of and experience in
working with the target population.
Maricopa County is the nation's fourth most populous county with an estimated 3.8
million people and is home to 60% of the state's residents and the city of Phoenix, now the
nation's fifth largest city. Spread out over 9,200 square miles, the county is a mix of urban and
rural areas and includes the whole or parts of five Indian Reservations. One of the fastest
growing areas of the country during the 1990s and early 2000s, Maricopa County is the state's
major center of political and economic activity.
Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) is the public health agency of
Maricopa County government. Its mission is to protect and promote the health and well-being of
Maricopa County residents and visitors. MCDPH is organized into offices that are housed in five
Divisions: Community Health Action, Community Transformation, Disease Control, Clinical
Services and Administration. Additionally, the Office of Community Engagement, Office of
Performance Improvement, and Public Health Policy Consultant report independently to the
director. As the third largest health jurisdiction in the U.S., the Maricopa County Department of
Public Health (MCDPH) has more than 674 employees and a FY 2015 budget of $61.2 million.
MCDPH provides an extensive array of grant funded clinical and community health services.
Major programs include maternal and child health home visiting and community education,
parenting education, childhood immunizations, HIV/AIDS counseling and education, STD
prevention and treatment, oral health, tobacco use prevention, health promotion and education,
Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and other nutrition and education services, and health care
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 17
for the homeless. Many of these programs target the First Teeth First Program target population.
WIC is a primary program partner.
MCDPH and the Office of Oral Health have proven track records of engaging community
stakeholders and successfully serving Maricopa County's most vulnerable populations,
specifically underserved, uninsured/underinsured children ages zero to five. The Health
Improvement Partnership of Maricopa County or HIPMC is a county-wide multi-sector coalition
and is the focal point for collaboration and partnerships at MCDPH. The HIPMC has developed
broad-based strategies focusing on health improvement of the more than 3.8 million county
residents. It is guided by Collective Impact Process philosophies of a common agenda, shared
measurement strategies, mutually reinforcing activities and continuous communication. Since
June 2012, more than sixty partner agencies and collaborative groups have come together
quarterly to share ideas and resources, identify gaps and barriers to existing services, and engage
in thoughtful planning to achieve a shared vision of community-based work ongoing in four
sectors: Healthcare, Community, Worksites and Education. MCDPH has built a solid foundation
that provides MCDPH programs and community partners technical assistance support with data
and policy analysis, evidence-based approaches, strategic planning, marketing and
communications, evaluation, and support for large-scale community initiatives. Also, as a neutral
convener - especially for organizations that often compete for resources, the HIPMC promotes a
safe environment for non-traditional partnerships to blossom. One such partnership is the
MCDPH FTF Program and Dignity Health in this grant proposal.
Dignity Health, Chandler Regional Medical Center and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center have
demonstrated a growing investment in community outreach and educational programs, advocacy
efforts and collaborative community partnerships. The Community Integration team has created
partnerships with schools, community centers, churches, medical personnel, community leaders,
state and local government, and Native American communities to establish health and wellness
programs throughout the Phoenix East Valley. In addition to early childhood oral health services,
Dignity Health serves children and their families through prenatal and parenting education,
gestational diabetes classes, immunization clinics, and hearing and vision screening.
3. Describe the capacity and/or infrastructure required to implement the proposed
program.
Currently, services are being provided at various location types throughout Maricopa County.
Permanent locations are considered locations where services are provided on a regular basis (daily, weekly,
bimonthly or monthly). An example of one of these locations would be a WiC or Immunization clinic and
resource centers. All other services are provided at non-permanent locations, which is a location that we
provide services at every six months to one year. Examples of these locations would be childcare centers,
preschools, community events, etc. (See Appendix A1-A5)
First Teeth First has been providing services to the target population of children zero through five
and pregnant women for the last four years. We have been able to reach this target population by
providing services in locations where this population goes for services with our primary focus on providing
services at Maricopa County Women, Infant and Children (WIC) clinics which service children zero to five
and pregnant women. This mutually beneficial partnership has promoted a synergistic approach as both
programs are able to provide services to the WIC clients and educate them on the importance of oral health
and how it relates to overall health. First Teeth First will continue to provide services every six months
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 18
regardless of the insurance status of the child. Through additional visits, staff will be able to reinforce
beneficial oral health habits and promote access to care through dental homes.
The First Teeth First program also provides services at childcare centers, preschools and community
events across the county. Partnerships have been developed with several agencies dedicated to reaching
the target population. Examples of these partnerships include other First Things First grantees (Readiness
Basket, S.N.A.C.K., Peoria Unified School District, etc.), Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services (TOPS), Nurse
Family Partnership (train the trainer model) and working with professionals that are providing services to
children, such as Arizona Academy of Pediatrics. Outreach is provided to child care centers, preschools and
community events by health educators/outreach specialists to reach children in a different setting that we
can return to every six months.
Partnering with organizations that serve the target population to provide professional development
for increased oral health knowledge will be expanded upon. First Teeth First will utilize the model created
by Dignity Health for professional development. A registered dental hygienist will be hired to partner with
Dignity Health's staff to implement this service across Maricopa County. Dignity Health is currently
implementing the Early Childhood Oral Health Program so necessary infrastructure is currently in place to
continue providing oral screenings, fluoride varnish and education. Dignity Health and Maricopa County
Department of Public Health's Office of Oral Health (MCDPH 00H) will work together to create the
additional infrastructure required for the Administrative Home model of the First Things First Oral Health
Strategy. Services will continue to be provided during the time of transition so there will be no lapse in
services provided to the community. Community partnerships that have been established by both programs
will continue and additional partnerships will be developed. Dignity Health and MCDPH 00H will continue
to partner with First Things First grantees throughout the six Maricopa Regions.
This success story is a perfect example of how we are reaching the target population to provide
services, education and referring children to a dental home. (See Appendix B)
4. Identify how qualified personnel will be recruited and supervised.
Maricopa County has a human resource structure to recruit and retain qualified personnel.
The entire range of MCDPH human resource functions of selection, recruitment, compensation,
training and performance management are aligned and consistent with state-of-the-art,
professional human resource management. Fundamental values of efficiency, economy, fairness
and high performance are paramount to the program's success. Evaluation of applicant training,
experience, and education is used in the recruitment and selection process.
The First Teeth First program benefits tremendously from incomparable organizational
infrastructure in terms of program leadership and supervision. First Teeth First is a program of the
Office of Oral Health, administered by Vincent Torres, Supervisor. He is a licensed dental hygienist
with a Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene and a Master's degree in Healthcare
Innovation. Mr. Torres also serves as Adjunct Dental Hygiene Faculty at Fortis College, an Arizona
institution that prepares students for employment with dental clinics, in higher education and
public health settings. Mr. Torres develops and teaches community and oral health curriculum
focused on public health program planning and program review. The Office of Oral Health is
within the Department of Public Health Community Health Action Division, administered by Toby
Urvater. With more than twenty years of public health experience, Ms. Urvater is a seasoned,
highly respected program administrator with exceptional organizational
development/management skills and extraordinary success in community collaboration.
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 19
At the program level, First Teeth First is fully staffed and prepared to enhance provision of
services in a highly functioning partnership with Dignity Health. Both organizations have
demonstrated excellent staff retention throughout the life of the program. This staff continuity
provides a stable platform from which to improve and expand the program. Recruitment for
additional staff will be conducted in order to provide services at additional locations. Specific
MCDPH First Teeth First staffing information is required and provided in the RFGA budget
justification and personnel table (See RFGA Section D-Program Personnel Table and Section F-
Budget Narrative) Subcontracted Dignity Health program staff information is presented below:
The Dignity Health organization has demonstrated excellent staff retention throughout the
life of the program. This staff continuity provides a stable platform from which to improve and
expand the program. Program staff includes:
Community Integration Director. Kathleen Dowler, RN, BSHA, reports directly to Vice
President of Mission Integration for Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert Medical Centers.
Kathleen is responsible for the program and will spend 5% of her time on its administration.
Kathleen is responsible for budget, productivity, personnel, and strategic planning for the
Center for Diabetes Management, Community Education, Lactation Program, Community
Outreach, Community Benefit Program development and reporting, Grants Committee, and
Community Investment Committee.
Program Manager, .5 FTE. Megan Miks, MPH reports directly to the Director of Community
Integration. Megan has managed the ECOHP since November 2009. Megan's responsibilities
include oversight of program staff, fiscal management, curriculum development, reporting,
evaluation, partnership development and strategic planning.
Program Coordinator. 1.0 FTE. Melva Molina-Lucas reports directly to the Program
Manager. She has been program coordinator since January 2013. Melva assumes an active role in
program development, planning initiation, evaluation, and performance improvement of the
ECOHP. She is responsible for scheduling clinics and staffing, data reporting, development of
Community partnerships, and supply management.
Community Health Nurse. .8 FTE. Currently Vacant. The RN reports directly to the Program
Manager. The RN is responsible for patient care and follow-up, assistance with planning,
implementing and evaluating the oral health program. The RN will conduct oral health screenings
and fluoride varnish applications for children and educate children and parents about important
areas of preventive oral health care. The RN will educate caregivers and medical and dental
professionals and will be fluent in Spanish. Clinical responsibilities will be supervised by a
registered dental hygienist including training, calibration.
Oral Health Educator 2.0 FTE. Reyna Hively and Myriam Aispuro have both worked for
Chandler Regional Medical Center as Qualified Medical Interpreters and are bi-lingual in Spanish.
The oral health educators provide oral health prevention information to children and their families
in community settings. Their duties include assisting staff with data collection and reporting,
supply management, curriculum development and program planning.
Dental Hygienist 1.5 FTE. Laurie Clark and Karen Felty each have many years of private
practice and community oral hygiene experience. As members of the ECOHP they serve as clinical
experts, provide support and training to staff, and provide oral health education, oral screening,
and fluoride varnish application at community-based clinics. Karen and Laurie will assist with
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 20
curriculum development, program planning and professional education to dental and medical
professionals.
PRN staff: Four registered nurses and two oral health educators currently work on an as
needed basis for the ECOHP. Their duties mirror those outlined above. All PRN staff receives the
same training and supervision as full-time staff.
5. Describe plans for ensuring personnel will be linguistically and culturally competent to
work with the target population.
The First Teeth First program and Dignity Health currently hire bicultural, bilingual site
assistants (Spanish speaking) and Oral Health Educators in order to effectively translate services
and educate parents and children receiving services. FTF program office 'staff including health
educators and program assistant are all fluently bilingual in Spanish as well. Providing personnel
that are linguistically and competent within the culture of the target population inhibits any
erosion within the program's communications systems.. Additionally, services are contracted
through Language Line to be able to reach populations that speak languages other than Spanish
and English. Spanish-speaking staff reduces misunderstanding and increase the likelihood that the
positive oral health messages will be heard and practiced. Annually, First Teeth First staff will be
provided cultural competency education through the classes offered by the Department of Public
Health and AZ TRAIN.
Dignity Health staff are required to participate in annual cultural competency education.
Patients needing health care come from many backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures. Being
sensitive to the differences among all patients is an important indicator for providing quality care.
Additionally, staff participates in age-appropriate educational opportunities to increase their
proficiency to educate both children and adults. FTF and Dignity Health are committed to
providing culturally appropriate services to the changing population and continue to hire diversity
in staff.
6. Describe how your agency will collaborate with existing programs/grantees to provide
oral health screenings and education. Attach any existing Memorandums of Agreements
or Letters of Commitment.
The First Teeth First program is extremely fortunate to be able to partner with several
groups and organizations within the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. Our main
partner is the Women, Infant and Children (WIC) office that serve multiple locations throughout
Maricopa County. Collaborating with the WIC program provides the ideal environment and ability
to provide preventive services such as oral health screenings and education to expectant mothers
and children as well as, fluoride varnish applications to children. This is a vulnerable target
population that oftentimes does not receive oral health services. First Things First has a defined
vision that focuses on early childhood development. The oral health program is an extension of
this vision and the strategy is inclusive of all children regardless of their insurance status.
Initially, our team will collaborate with First Things First to locate preschools and childcare
centers in the region that are Quality First locations to service those children. After health
educators reach out to the Quality First Childcare Centers, First Teeth First staff then looks to find
FTF-MULT1-16-0519-00 Page 21
additional childcare centers in the regions to provide additional services as they are available.
Additionally, we have an Intergovernmental Agreement in place with Peoria Unified School District
(PUSD) (See Appendix C) to provide continued services to children in that school district. The oral
health program also provides services at schools within the Scottsdale Unified School District,
Laveen Elementary School District, and Prendergast Elementary School District.
Regarding more comprehensive services, First Teeth First also partners with local dental
clinics such as Mountain Park, John C. Lincoln Children's Dental Clinic and Maricopa Integrated
Health Services (MU-IS) to refer children with urgent needs for immediate treatment. First Teeth
First looks to integrate a referral base system that is utilized by Dignity Health on a county wide
level.
A formal subcontract with Dignity Health will be established to be able to continue delivery
of services in the East Valley. A Notice of Intent has been completed between Dignity Health and
Maricopa County to provide the following services: oral health screening, and fluoride varnish
application to children ages zero to five, oral health screenings to pregnant women and preventive
oral health education and outreach and training to medical and dental professionals. Services and
outreach will be provided in diverse location settings. (See Appendix D) Dignity Health has
developed partnerships with numerous agencies throughout the East Maricopa and Southeast
Maricopa Regional Partnership areas. These partners were chosen because they have existing
relationships with families of children ages zero to five. This trusting relationship with WIC offices,
Family Resource Centers, childcare centers, and preschools supports access to services. Partnering
with First Things First grantees emphasizes the connection between early childhood development
and health.
7. Identify how your agency will reinvest funds collected through reimbursement in to
expanded oral health service delivery
A partnership with the Arizona Department of Health Services Office of Oral Health (ADHS-
00H) will allow the First Teeth First program to submit claims for Arizona Health Care Cost
Containment System (AHCCCS) eligible children. ADHS will be a sub grantee to the MDPCH First
Teeth First Program. The utilization of this expanded function in delivery of care will help create
sustainability of the First Teeth First program. (See Appendix E)
After the first year of revenues received through billing, it is expected the costs for billing
will be covered. In addition, all funds minus the cost of the billing service from ADHS will be
submitted to the First Teeth First program for reinvestment into oral health services within the
program. First Teeth First would hope to elevate the program to more innovative potentials and
visionary practices with the funding that is generated through reimbursement.
8. Describe the established collaboration(s) in place with one or more local organizations
for the delivery of programs and/or services to the target population.
Currently, First Teeth First has partners with agencies across Maricopa County. Services
are provided on a regular basis (more than once every six months) at permanent locations at the
following sites:
WIC clinics
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 22
Mexican Consulate
Avondale Care1st Resource Center
Additionally, services have been or are provided every six month or annual (depending on
the event) at:
YMCA locations, Paiute and other neighborhood resource locations, Scottsdale
Unified School district preschools and PANDA programs, Fort McDowell H'man
`Shawa Early Childhood Center, Jewish Community Center, Southwest Human
Development collaborations, Catholic Charities West Valley Head Starts,

9. Describe the outcomes achieved as a result of the collaboration(s) including: how service
delivery has improved; how resources are more effectively utilized across partners; and
how the continued work of this collaboration will impact the implementation of the
proposed program.
FTF-MULT1-16-0519-00 Page 23
Collaboration between Maricopa County and Dignity Health to deliver services by
demonstrating a strong and coordinated multi-agency effort to implement the First Things First
Oral Health Strategy within all regions of Maricopa County. With this partnership, we will
demonstrate organizational, fiscal and programmatic capacity to meet the required description in
the scope of work for children and families residing in the Maricopa County First Things First
regions. First Teeth First and Dignity Health will coordinate in a seamless and cohesive county-
wide approach to achieve oral health outcome objectives, focusing on the First Things First mission
of early childhood development and optimal oral health. The outcomes should reduce duplication,
increase efficiency resulting in increased children and families receiving services across Maricopa
County.
Services at locations such as the Mexican and Guatemalan Consulates and the Avondale
Care 1st Resource Center are a great partnership because we are reaching the target population at
a location that they are already going to. Offering a multiple service approach works well for
efficiency and our target population because transportation is often times a challenge thus making
getting our services difficult outside of these locations. Continuing this model will help strengthen
our services and provide the needed services in these underserved populations.
Dignity Health's collaboration with local school districts has streamlined visits to district
preschools, especially those with large numbers of preschool students. Initially, Dignity Health
staff processed consent forms the day of the clinic and provided education sessions in each
classroom. The amount of time to process 60-100 consent forms, provide several different
education sessions, and concerns about patient identification prompted evaluation of clinic
processes. Beginning with Getz Preschool in the Tempe School District, staff worked with school
staff to address these issues. As a result, process changes included accessing consent forms prior
to the clinic for processing, holding education sessions in a central location and using stickers to
identify children by name and date of birth. These changes were then adopted at the large
preschools in the Mesa, Chandler and Higley School Districts. Subsequently, clinic flow is more
efficient, less time is spent on paperwork during clinic time and patient identification concerns are
mitigated. These changes required communication and cooperation from staff of Dignity Health
and the schools and are evidence of the close working relationships which have been developed.
Respond to each of the following items:
1. Describe the proposed program that includes implementation of the Administrative
Home responsibilities and tasks. Include details of how the Administrative Home will
work effectively with sub-grantees and how the Standards of Practice will be adhered to
and how key personnel requirements will be met during program implementation.
Address how a centralized intake and referral will be implemented and specifically how
the referral process will coordinate with subgrantees (if applicable). In addition, describe
the implementation of a model of case management to ensure that urgent/emergent
referrals for dental care are made and that families seek that level of care.
FTE-M ULTI-16-0519-00 Page 24
Maricopa County Department of Public Health Office of Oral Health administrative home
responsibilities and tasks:
A. Fiscal Management and Reporting:
Maricopa County Department of Public Health's First Teeth First program will oversee all
budgetary responsibilities and fiscal oversight. Communications and reporting of overall program
cost-effectiveness and financial responsibilities will be reported by First Teeth First to First Things
First. Any reports related to the sub-grantee will be developed and reported by First Teeth First in
an overall oral health program perspective.
First Teeth First will provide all financial and administrative management for the program
and work with the sub-grantee (Dignity Health) to develop a Target Service Unit forecast. The sub-
grantee will submit an initial annual forecast during the grant application process. Upon
implementation of the oral health program, the sub-grantee will provide the Administrative Home
with reports related to monthly and quarterly target service units and relative units met Any
projections related to performance measures will be discussed on a monthly basis and both
organizations will review the units of services delivered for compliance with the proposed Target
Service Units quarterly. Dignity Health will receive grant funds through the Administrative Home
(First Teeth First) based on their projected cost of delivering services that aid in meeting the Target
Service Units.
A partnership with the Arizona Department of Health Services Office of Oral Health (ADHS-
00H) will allow the First Teeth First program to submit claims for Arizona Health Care Cost
Containment System (AHCCCS) eligible children. After the first year of revenues received through
billing, it is expected the costs for billing will be covered. In addition, all funds minus the cost of
the billing service from ADHS will be submitted to the First Teeth First program for reinvestment
into oral health services within the program. First Teeth First would hope to elevate the program
to more innovative potentials and visionary practices with the funding that is generated through
reimbursement
B. Coordination of data collection and reporting
First Teeth First will continue to utilize a centralized database to collect, track and record
patient information and services. This database is accessed at all First Teeth First permanent
locations (e.g. WIC and immunization clinics) and provides a delivery of care system that decreases
the possibility of duplicative services. Dignity Health will record all data regarding patients and
services rendered which will then be collected by First Teeth First on a weekly basis. Locations
outside of the permanent locations will also be entered into the database weekly. Summary
reports reflecting the deliverables and monitoring of oral health indicators can be produced
through the Maricopa County First Teeth First program. The database can be used to evaluate
performance measures as it relates to providers and the program. Continuous evaluation and
improvement to reduce duplication will be implemented. Data collection will be done regionally in
order to provide regional councils with region specific numbers for reporting purposes.
C. Evaluation and Quality Assurance:
At a minimum, the grantee shall submit quarterly, one Program Narrative Report and three
Data Submission Reports (one per month) by the 20th of the month following the quarter via the
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 25
First Things First Partner Grant Management System (PGMS). The reports shall contain summary
information as deemed necessary by First Things First which includes documentation of program
evaluation and quality assurance.
First Teeth First implements quality assurance protocols consisting of site inspections
monthly to ensure programmatic standards are being met. Quarterly trainings are held with all
field registered dental hygienists and site assistants. These meetings are used to review protocols
and policies and procedures for reliable program services. In addition, regular calibration training
is held with the clinical staff to assure consistent implementation of services. Dignity Health
currently practices similar evaluations that elevate successful outcomes related to deliverables and
quality of service. As the two organizations solidify their union within this first year of delivering
services, steps toward creating a single quality assurance and evaluation system will be developed.
D. Service Integration to sub-grantees: Collaboration of program services with sub-
grantees to implement SOW based on SOP
Dignity Health and First Teeth First will align to provide clinical services that address the
needs of families with children ages birth through five and expectant mothers. Both
organizations will complete oral health screenings to children and expectant mothers in a manner
consistent with the scope of practice. Only children ages zero to five are eligible for fluoride
varnish applications. Proper informed consent from a parent or guardian will be documented and
patient confidentiality will be maintained. During the oral health screening, children and
expectant mothers will also receive a complete dental caries risk assessment using the Basic
Screening Survey (BSS).
The development of the initial Basic Screening Survey (BSS) model in 1999 was led by the
Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors, in collaboration with the Ohio Department of
Health. Technical assistance was provided by the Division of Oral Health, National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The 2008 revisions to this publication and any accompanying materials were supported by
Cooperative Agreements from the Division of Oral Health, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), and from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services
Administration, Department of Health and Human Services. First Teeth First will work with
statewide grantees to ensure that all oral health grantees are using the 855 correctly and similarly
in order to collect meaningful data in a universally accepted fashion. This survey will help providers
and site assistants deliver patient education and oral hygiene instruction to the children, families
and caregivers.
During fluoride applications on children ages zero to five, appropriate fluoride varnishes
containing the recommended dose of sodium fluoride (5% NaF) will be topically placed on the
teeth to facilitate re-mineralization of the enamel. Fluoride varnish provides a highly
concentrated, temporary dose of fluoride to the tooth surface. 1
Outreach and oral health education will be promoted through individual and group
formats. Group sessions will be provided during locations and visits that consist of child care
centers, preschools, and community events

Based Approach. September 2014

Dignity Health and First Teeth First have a close working relationship and have collaborated
previously to enhance program delivery and presentations. As a sub-grantee, Dignity Health will
work closely with First Teeth First as the Administrative Home to ensure alignment in strategy and
service delivery. Dignity Health and First Teeth First will continue to provide oral health screening,
fluoride varnish application and education in accordance with the FTF Scope of Work and
Standards of Practice with the goal of creating a coordinated system of oral health prevention
activities throughout Maricopa County. Dignity Health and First Teeth First will work
collaboratively to identify areas of opportunity regarding service delivery, data collection and
professional development.
E. Centralized Intake and Referral:
First Teeth First has developed and integrated a centralized intake system that is capable of
monitoring and storing data related to patient information, services and record keeping. The use
of this electronic database system as the main server of information will be used for surveillance,
tracking trends, consent intake and record keeping regarding services rendered. All permanent
locations will have access to this database. Providers will enter patient information at each visit
and review a brief patient history of services and documentation notes. This process will alert
providers and site assistants of patient eligibility. All process of care documentation will be
entered into the database at the time of service delivery at permanent locations.
The hygienist and site assistant approach families about the First Teeth First cavity
prevention fluoride varnish program in permanent locations. If the parent agrees to give
permission for services, the site assistant will give them a consent form to record basic information
(name, date of birth, demographics), medical history, risk for cavities questionnaire, and parental
or guardian signature. Initially, the site assistant will review the database to see when was the last
time the client received fluoride services and if they are eligible for this visit. On a daily basis, the
site assistant types the written consent form and treatment record into the database at
permanent locations. The database helps the program keep surveillance, tracking clients,
treatment status, and services given. The database will also provide date of services and the
providers who provided the service from previous visits.
Services are also provided at childcare centers, preschools and community events.
Outreach is provided to locations to give consent forms and inform the location of services. Site
locations distribute forms and on date of service, forms are collected. Services are provided and
urgent children are referred as necessary. Data collected from these services is entered into the
database within the week of services.
Children who have urgent dental needs (i.e. moderate-severe cavities, abscess [infection],
and/or in pain) are referred to a community dental clinic partner and, if AHCCCS enrolled, their
AHCCCS health plan. The community dental clinic partners currently include: Maricopa Integrated
Health Systems (MIHS) Dental Clinic, John C Lincoln/Desert Mission Children's Dental Clinic, and
Mountain Park Health Center Dental Clinic. The referred to dental clinic will attempt to contact the
parent to schedule an appointment within 24-48 hours from when the screening is provided.
Children who are uninsured or underinsured will receive assistance from eligibility coordinators at
each clinic. In addition to being referred to a community dental clinic, AHCCCS children are
referred to their AHCCCS health plan service coordinator for follow up and assisting in finding a
dental home. Dignity has currently developed a DDS referral base for urgent need children in the
FTF-MULT1-16-0519-00 Page 27
East Valley. With this new grant, the oral health program will work to adopt this referral system
on a county wide basis to extend our capacity for referring directly to a dentist. Additionally, we
will include on all community dental clinic referral lists the First Things First Health Teeth AZ
website.
Dignity Health will follow the same intake procedures as the First Teeth First Program.
Program forms will be utilized across all regions in Maricopa County. First Teeth First and Dignity
Health have consulted regarding cross training providers on the intake process. Initially, consent
forms and treatment records will be given to First Teeth First weekly for data entry. First Teeth
First hopes to streamline this intake process by allowing access to the database for Dignity Health
staff during site visits. This added measure will continue to inhibit possible duplicative services.
F. Coordination of professional development and training:
Tooth decay is the most prevalent chronic childhood disease and it negatively impacts the
overall health and wellbeing of children in Arizona. The progression of this disease is amplified by
lack of awareness of this disease, misunderstandings about early oral health care and focus on
individual behavior solutions. A systems-thinking approach to this issue includes partnering with
schools, childcare centers, WIC offices and other community-based sites. Linking oral health
professionals with early childhood system providers, increases awareness of the importance of
early childhood oral health care, and reinforces the idea that the solution to decreasing early
childhood caries lies with the entire community rather than solely focusing on individual
behaviors. Engaging the entire early childhood community to educate parents, provide access to
screening and prevention activities and make connections with dental professionals raises the
level of awareness and expands access to care.
The utilization of a registered dental hygienist for professional development and training
will be incorporated. First Teeth First will implement two training modules focused on oral health.
The modules will differ based on the audiences. One module will be delivered to the health
professionals themselves and it will involve more comprehensive clinical oral health curriculum
and overall systemic health links. The other format will be delivered to personnel of organizations
responsible for carrying out their agency's professional development. This module is intended to
disseminate the oral health strategy to various healthcare settings responsible for delivering
services to expectant mothers and young children.
Outreach and Training (Direct Professional Training):
Educating medical professionals on the importance of oral health care for pregnant women
and young children will incorporate a training module that highlights oral health in non-dental
settings. This training module along with modules such as The Baby Oral Health Program 2 will be
directed at practitioners who provide services to First Things First target populations. The Baby
Oral Health Program is nationally recognized education training on the principles of infant and
toddler oral health. The training focuses on equipping providers with the necessary tools to be
comfortable and competent at providing preventive oral health services for young children.
Building partnerships with medical and dental professionals has been a strong component of
Dignity Health's program in the East Maricopa and Southeast Maricopa Regions and First Teeth

First will expand this model throughout Maricopa County. Presentations to dental and medical
offices improve the opportunities that very young children and their families receive early oral
health intervention. Presentations to general dentists and their staff will provide them with
strategies for working with young children and expanding their practices as a dental home for
families with very young children. Presentations to pediatricians and their staff include strategies
to identify children at risk for tooth decay and information about referrals to dental professionals.
Through an established partnership with A.T. Still University, First Teeth First and Dignity
Health dental professionals may receive Continuing Education credits recognized by the ADA
Continuing Education Recognition Program (ADA CERP). Pediatricians receive Continuing Medical
Education credits endorsed by the American Medical Association. First Teeth First also provides
free continuing education for tobacco cessation which meets the required chemical dependency
standard for dental professionals. These continuing education sessions are offered to internal
staff as well as professionals in the field. This training program provides valuable education to
health professionals relative to oral health education and the systemic links to overall health.
One critical target population within the professional development piece is medical and
dental healthcare students. These new health care professionals are in a perfect setting to absorb
current practices promoted in public health venues. Not only will partnering with these
organizations promote dental public health, but students will get a better understanding of how
innovative collaborative strategies are used to serve the community. The training will focus on the
First Things First mission of early childhood development and improved oral health among the
target population. Incorporating student rotations into the oral health program upon completion
of the didactic training module will provide further experience for these new professionals.
Ideally, this will enhance student's understanding of the target population's needs and oral health
disparity. Generating a future healthcare professional community that has a better grasp of early
childhood development will contribute to the vision of First Things First.
Currently, Phoenix College is providing oral health services in the Phoenix South region.
Because Phoenix College did not respond to the Notice of Intent from Maricopa County
Department of Public Health, we are unable to collaborate with them on this application.
However, once funded the program will partner with Phoenix College to continue the professional
development already established. The First Teeth First program plans on creating a professional
development piece that mimics the model First Things First funded through Phoenix College
throughout the county with multiple dental hygiene and allied health institutions (e.g. Fortis
College, Rio Salado, Carrington College, etc.). Creating coalitions and enhanced dental teams
through this multidisciplinary approach will extend the idea of early childhood development and
overall health of children to all allied health professionals.
Train the trainer (Organization Training):
In order to provide training and professional development opportunities, we will enhance
existing and further develop partnerships with Arizona Dental Association, Arizona Dental Hygiene
Association and Arizona Department of Health Services. Collaborating with Dignity Health to
conduct outreach to Family Resource Centers and Pediatric offices is a priority and this outreach
will stretch across Maricopa County. Alliances with organizations such as Phoenix Children's
Hospital, CVS, Arizona State University, Tempe Community Council and Worthy Institute are in
developmental stages to implement a training session to educate practitioners on the link
between oral health and overall health. The training will specifically focus on providing
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 29
organizations with the necessary information needed to educate their staff. Again, objectives
related to expectant mothers' oral health and evaluating young children in a medical health care
setting will be covered. Supporting printed educational materials are provided as appropriate. As
the First Teeth First program continues to develop the professional development training system,
a continued concentration on current best practices and evidence-based approaches will be
sought and incorporated. Each partnership will serve as an extension of the First Things First
vision for increased knowledge within our healthcare professional community and a focus on
optimal quality delivery care systems.
Both representatives from Dignity Health and First Teeth First will continue to work with
First Things First Community of Practice (COP) to utilize state -wide grantees to provide feedback
and information about current professional development and educational tools to use throughout
Maricopa County. Any web-based training developed will be shared with the COP so all those
providing oral health services across the state can benefit.
G. Policy Advocacy
First Teeth First staff is currently working with the Arizona Dental Association (AzDA),
Arizona Department of Health Services Office of Oral Health (ADHS-00H) and The Arizona
Partnership on Immunization (TAPI) on oral health policy related issues. First Teeth First will
continue to work with AzDA, ADHS and TAP1 and other professional agencies to create a platform
for oral health communications and education to policy stakeholders and the public. Professional
staff will advocate for advancement and awareness of dental public health issues by speaking at
dental professional institutions and schools. The program will work with dental hygiene schools
to create student rotations through community based oral health clinics. The grantee will team up
with organizations (MOLAR, Arizona State Dental Hygiene Association) to advocate for current
policy issues regarding policy that would benefit the early childhood community. The
Administrative Home will provide leadership and assistance to implement solutions to oral health
problems through collaborative efforts with community stakeholders and the First Things First
Community of Practice. Providing evidence based information to community stakeholders, such as
Children's Action Alliance, in order to promote good oral health practices.
H. Supporting Oral Health activities at First Things First
First Teeth First will work with internal and external entities to enhance coordinating
services to reach the First Things First target population of children zero through five years of age.
The programs will work to promote First Things First programs and grantees to the community
while providing services out in the community and connecting program participants to other First
Things First services.
The programs will actively support oral health activities at the regional and statewide level.
First Teeth First and Dignity Health will seek active involvement and representation in First Things
First activities. The grantee will serve as a referral mechanism to the First Things First Healthy
Teeth AZ website and advocate for enrollment of providers. The Administrative Home will align
and practice the mission of First Things First in all programmatic encounters. First Teeth First will
be actively involved in the First Things First Community of Practice (COP). Staff will regularly
attend all COP meetings, participate in subgroups and work towards forwarding and implementing
all efforts put forth by the COP.
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 30
2. Identify whether the proposed program is evidence-based, evidence-informed, or a
promising practice, and summarize the supporting research and data that supports this
determination.
The First Teeth First program model is based on evidence from the American Dental
Association, Maternal Child Health Bureau, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others.
Oral health education, screening, and fluoride varnish are made available in community locations
in an effort to provide repeat fluoride varnish application every three to six months.
Studies have shown that fluoride varnish application along with dental health information
for caregivers is effective in reducing the incidence of childhood caries. 3 The Maternal and Child
Health Bureau conducted an expert panel in 2007 to develop a decision support matrix on topical
fluoride use for high-risk children. The experts concluded that "an ideal prevention model
targeting high-risk children would include population-based fluoride interventions combined with
individual risk assessments conducted during dental and medical appointments". The matrix was
developed primarily for a non-dental audience including paraprofessionals and professionals
without formal dental education working in public health settings (child care centers, Head Start,
WIC) because the panel recognized the important role of these individuals in primary and
secondary prevention among higher-risk populations because of their ability to reach these
children at younger ages. 4
As stated previously, the ADA recommends that children under age six in a high risk
category receive fluoride varnish application at three-month intervals 5 and the majority of studies
demonstrate that at least two applications hi-annually, for at least two years, are necessary to
demonstrate effective reductions in dental caries". 6
The education provided to parents and children follows the guidelines outlined in the First
Things First Oral Health Standards of Practice and is obtained from:

• Resources listed in the First Things First Oral Health Standards of Practice
The First Teeth First program along with Dignity Health supports the need for early
intervention to prevent tooth decay. Early childhood caries have become increasingly and
alarmingly clear in recent years. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry cites the following
statistics.
• Over 40% - 50% of children will be affected by tooth decay before age 5.
• More than half of the children born each year will have cavities by the time they
reach second grade.
• While 9 million children in this nation do not have medical insurance, more than
twice that number (23 million) does not have dental insurance.
• According to the May 2000 Surgeon General's report, Oral Health in America, more
than 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental-related conditions.
The problem is especially prevalent in Arizona. The Arizona Department of Health Services
conducted an open mouth survey of preschool aged children in 2009 and identified the following
key findings: (Office of Oral Health, Arizona Department of Health Services, 2011)
• 52% of 4 year olds have treated and/or untreated tooth decay
• 30% of 2-4 year olds have untreated tooth decay (16% nationally)
• 40% of 4 year olds have early or urgent dental treatment needs
• Parents don't take their children to the dentist because they think the child doesn't
need a visit
(46%), the dentist won't see the child (34%), and they can't afford it (12%)
• 50% of children ages 0 to 4 have never visited a dentist
Research shows that oral health is progressive and cumulative and becomes more complex
over time. If left untreated, tooth decay can lead to needless pain and suffering; difficulty
speaking, chewing, and swallowing; missed school days; increased cost of care, loss of self-esteem;
and the risk of other systemic health problems due to poor nutrition, infection, and abscess.
Tragically, several young children have died as a result of infections caused by tooth decay or the
effects of sedation used during treatment.
Fluoride varnish application has been shown to be an effective method of preventing
dental caries, preventing decalcification, and slowing the progression of existing caries? Fluoride
varnish is simple to apply with very low risk of adverse effects and does not require a dental
cleaning prior to use; making it the ideal choice for community-based oral health prevention
programs. The Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors recommends initiating fluoride
varnish applications as soon as the first tooth erupts, stating that 'rage two is too late for children
at highest risk." 8
The American Dental Association recommends that children under age 6 in a high risk
category receive fluoride varnish application at three-month intervals. 9 Maternal Child Health
Bureau experts state that low socioeconomic status, and specifically income is the best indicator of

dental decay risk 10 making immunization clinics, WIC offices, and family resource centers ideal
locations for providing oral health prevention activities. Children at moderate risk for dental caries
are recommended to receive fluoride varnish application every six months.
While oral screening and fluoride varnish are important tools to prevent tooth decay,
simple behavior changes can also have a lasting effect on a child's oral health. Interaction with
parents in the community reveals that many parents are unaware of the harmful effects of
common behaviors including putting baby to bed with a bottle, the use of sippy cups, frequent
snacking, and inadequate tooth brushing. Educating parents and caregivers must be a significant
component of any oral health prevention program.
The First Teeth First and Dignity Health programs provide an evidence-based screening
process that is a nationally recognized system of screening preschool and school-age children. The
Basic Screening Survey (BSS) was created by The Association of State & Territorial Dental Directors
(ASTDD) and is a tool for obtaining data for an oral health surveillance system. The data collected
from the BSS consists of Plaque/Gingivitis, Non-Cavitated White Spots, Early Childhood Caries
(ECC), Untreated Decay (with the number of teeth) and Treated Decay (with the number of teeth).
3. If there is a need to adapt an evidence-based or evidence-informed program as a
promising practice, explain what the adaptations are and the justification for why they
are being proposed.
There is no need to adapt any promising practice theories as the Administrative home and
subcontractor are an established delivery care system that promotes current best practices.
4. Describe how the proposed program approach aligns and builds on the early childhood
system development in the Phoenix South, East Maricopa, Northwest Maricopa, Phoenix
North, Southwest Maricopa and Southeast Maricopa regions.
First Things First funding has created a network of programs aligned by the common goal of
ensuring children enter kindergarten ready to succeed. The oral health program addresses the
First Things First Goal to increase access to preventive oral health care and provide oral health
screenings for children through age five. This program network provides an ideal opportunity for
collaboration. First Teeth First and Dignity Health have already established partnerships with other
First Things First grantees including Thrive to Five, Readiness Basket, Teen Outreach Pregnancy
Services (TOPS), FindHelpPhx, Nurse Family Partnerships, South Phoenix Healthy Start, Pregnancy,
Parenting, & Play, Child Crisis Center, Family SPOT Resource Centers, Avondale Care1st Resource
Center, Chandler CARE Center, Health Care Connect, Keogh Foundation, Parents As Teachers,
Quality First Child care centers, and the Chandler Christian Community Center. These partnerships
allow parents to receive multiple services in a single location and understand the connectivity
between the school readiness strategies supported by First Things First.
The program directly addresses the First Things First School Readiness indicator regarding
the number of children age five with untreated tooth decay. Tooth decay is preventable with
10 Maternal Child Health Bureau Expert Panel. Topical Fluoride Recommendations for High-Risk Children, Development
of Decision Support Matrix, 2007
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 33
simple behavior modifications. Early oral health screening, identification of children with
untreated tooth decay, fluoride varnish application, basic oral health prevention education, and
referral to dental professionals increases the likelihood that a child will receive early dental care,
thus improving their ability to learn and succeed in school.
5. Identify and describe the target population to be served by the proposed program,
including:
a) Population demographics (e.g., children birth through five, families of infants,
early childhood professionals, etc.)
The First Teeth First and Dignity Health program's only requirement to receive no cost
services and applied fluoride varnish is the child must fall within the age range of zero through five
or be an expectant mother within Maricopa County. Those with no teeth will receive education:
for newborns (0-3 months) and infants (3 months until their first tooth) and provides a Spiffie
Dental Home Kit and a demonstration on how to use them. Most of these children visit the
permanent locations. Most of these permanent locations are housed in the Maricopa County
WICs and Maricopa County Immunization Clinics. We also see expectant mothers anytime during
their pregnancy. In addition to direct services to children ages zero to five and expectant mothers,
the FTF and Dignity Health programs provide education. The education portion can also include
parents/guardians and even family caregivers such as grandparents, aunts/uncles, and older
siblings. In addition to providing direct services and one-on-one education; the health educators
provide community presentations, educational tables at events/ resource centers/ and age specific
educational pamphlets. In the past, the First Teeth First and Dignity Health program has given oral
health presentations to early childhood professions like Arizona Head Start teachers and
administrative staff, preschool teachers and school administration staff. For the future, the First
Teeth First and Dignity Health will continue to visit medical offices such as OB-GYN providers to
promote good oral health during pregnancy and partner with private dentists who are willing to
provide pro bono treatment on urgent dental need children.
The Administrative Home and sub-grantee will serve a specific target population and
they will direct services that align with the oral health strategy of First Things First.
Population Demographics:
• Young children from birth through age 5 and their families
• Expectant mothers
• Caregivers of families
• Early learning and care providers
• Oral health and medical professionals
b) Target Service Number(s) based on the Unit(s) of Service included in the Scope of
Work of this RFGA.
The oral health program will provide oral health education, screening and fluoride
varnish to children birth through five. Oral health education and screening will be offered to
expectant mothers. Oral health education will also be presented to parents and family members,
caregivers, medical and dental professionals. Since there will be no lapse in service delivery, the
FTF-MULTI46-0519-00 Page 34
First Teeth First program will exceed the overall Target Service goals throughout Maricopa County.
Data collection will be done regionally in order to provide regional councils will region specific
numbers for reporting purposes. (See Appendix F)
Targeted units of service include:
• A minimum of 25,500 children receiving oral health screenings
• A minimum of 25,500 children receiving fluoride varnish application
• A minimum of 2,400 expectant mothers receiving oral health screenings.
• A minimum of 9,775 of participating adults.
• A minimum of 425 of participating professionals.
c) How the proposed program will be culturally competent, linguistically
appropriate, age appropriate, and gender responsive for the target population.
The First Teeth First program utilizes bilingual site assistants at all locations that services are
provided. Maricopa County has a large Spanish speaking population requiring a definite need for
linguistically appropriate educational information for increased understanding and retention. Personnel,
program forms (including consent and take home finding form) and educational materials (e.g. brochures
and referral materials) are all provided in both English and Spanish format. Quality Assurance site visits are
conducted monthly at each site location to ensure appropriate use of translation and oral health education
is being provided. Coaching is provided should bilingual site assistants need guidance on translation.
Should a family speak a language other than Spanish, site staff may utilize a contracted
company, the Language Line, which provides translation services for roughly 75 + languages so that services
and educational materials can be provided to the parent in the most culturally competent and linguistically
appropriate way.
Ongoing training ensures staff is competent to provide culturally competent, linguistically, age,
and gender appropriate care. All Dignity Health staff participates in annual hospital-mandated continuing
education including cultural competency, Patient and Family-Centered Care and HIPAA Compliance,
Program specific education has included the learning styles of adults and children. Our bilingual staff
provides care that is culturally sensitive which reduces misinformation and misunderstandings.
d) How the target population will be identified, recruited, and retained in the
program.
Recruitment and outreach efforts are provided through the venues where services are
provided and in the community at large. The First Teeth First and Dignity Health programs have
two specific recruitment models which focus on permanent and off-site locations. The permanent
models are primarily WIC clinics and Immunization clinics where the population visits regularly
which increases the chances of retaining the same clients for their six month follow up oral health
screening and repeated fluoride varnish application until the child turns six. Each permanent
location has the ability to review a child's past treatment records to survey each encounter with
the program. Hygienists are to review the previous treatment record in the system before
applying fluoride. If there were any comments indicating untreated decay or a need for follow up
with the dental provider or clinic, this is addressed at this time.
Parents of children at preschools and childcare centers are provided with take-home
packets which include information about the benefits of oral screening and fluoride varnish. The
FTF-MULTI-16-0519-00 Page 35
last date of service for child care centers, preschools, and head starts are tracked to follow up
every six months for repeat services for continuous cavity prevention.
6. Describe specific initial and ongoing professional development opportunities that will be
provided to existing and/or new staff/subgrantees (if applicable), including how it will be
provided, a timeline for when it will be delivered and how it will enhance skills necessary
for effective program implementation.
First Teeth First and Dignity Health will provide ongoing quality improvement practices
such as new employee orientation on the first day of employment from sources including the
American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Academy of
Pediatrics, National Children's Oral Health Foundation, and the National Maternal Child Oral
Health Resource Center.
A registered dental hygienist hired by First Teeth First will be responsible for all clinical
oversight regarding delivery of care and have the responsibility of the annual calibration trainings
to ensure proper standards of practice. First Teeth First and Dignity Health will integrate their
professional development programs by participating in trainings and continuous educational
opportunities to ensure competence, calibration and aligned service delivery.
Oral health knowledge is acquired and updated during initial training and continuing
education from sources including the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry, American Academy of Pediatrics, National Children's Oral Health Foundation, and the
National Maternal Child Oral Health Resource Center. Staff participates in ongoing continuing
education covering early childhood oral health, general health, and education techniques.
Initial and continuous education ensures that staff is providing up-to-date, proven oral
health prevention information in a manner that is culturally sensitive and appropriate for all
audiences. Staff training ensures that staff is able to provide patient care in the community that
equal the standards set for our inpatient population. All trainees will be asked to complete a post
training evaluation in order to provide feedback for quality improvement. Additionally, all staff is
required to complete learning modules regarding Cultural Competence, General Workplace Safety,
Corporate Compliance, Patient Rights, Confidentiality, HIPAA, Infection Control and Patient and
Family Centered Care. This training ensures that staff is providing up-to-date, evidence based oral
health information in a manner that is culturally sensitive and appropriate.
Registered Dental Hygienists obtain their clinical training as part of their degree program.
Provider credentials are renewed on a triennial basis through regulatory agencies. These agencies
require a predetermined amount of continuing education (CE) hours that each provider is
responsible for retaining. Quarterly education sessions on a variety of topics is provided for CE's
and a hygienist study group is also available for CE's with groups of five or more hygienist.
Practitioners will have the opportunity to attend the Western Regional Dental Convention as the
oral health program allows for time off during this session. Nursing staff are trained to perform
oral screening and fluoride varnish application using the following training materials.

7. Describe the program data collection process, including what resources will be needed;
who will be responsible for data collection and data submission; what procedures will be
in place to ensure timely, accurate, and secure collection and submission; and how data
will be used to inform and improve programming. Describe how child level surveillance
data will be collected and used to eradicate duplication of service delivery. If applicable,
also include the anticipated approval process to collect, submit, and report data from
tribal government programs.
When services are provided at permanent locations (WIC and immunization clinics), the
site assistant will search the database to see if the child has been seen before with our program. If
services have not been provided within the last five to six months, services will be provided and
the information will be input into the database on a daily basis. Each site and site assistant has a
laptop and access to the First Teeth First database at each of the locations to provide timely data
FTF-M ULT1-16-0519-00 Page 37
input. A parent satisfaction survey is offered to each participant of our services to ensure
customer satisfaction is being met; this information is kept in a Satisfaction Survey database for
tracking purposes.
Services are also provided at childcare centers, preschools and community events.
Outreach is provided to locations to give consent forms and inform the location of services. Site
locations distribute forms and on the date of service, forms are collected. Services are provided
and urgent children are referred as necessary. Data collected from these services is entered into
the database within the week of services.
Monthly the consent and treatment records are brought directly to the main office from
each permanent site by staff members for database cross checking. This is done to ensure proper
data entry has occurred at locations. Health educators provide monthly reporting on community
involvement and success stories that are incorporated into a quarterly narrative report to First
Things First. Quarterly, the program coordinator combines all narrative information from all staff
to report directly to First Things First. Additionally, numeric data is reported at this time as well.
This information is used as a feedback loop for program improvement and service delivery
awareness.
Currently, there is no approval process needed from tribal government programs. First
Teeth First does provide services at the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation at their H'rnan 'Shawa
Early Childhood Center every six months. This is a First Things First funded location and no
agreement has been necessary thus far.
8. Describe any anticipated barriers to implementation and your plans to overcome those
barriers.
Challenges to operationalizing the integration of First Teeth First and Dignity Health are as
follows:
• Access to First Teeth First database outside of permanent locations (WIC and
Immunization clinics) and training of Dignity staff on database procedures. First Teeth
First staff will work with Maricopa County's Office of Information Technology to grant
access to the Dignity Health personnel for data entry. Dignity Health staff will be
trained by First Teeth First staff on database systems.
• Combining programmatic materials to be consistent across regional boundaries (e.g.
consent form and language). Both organizations will need to review documents with
the proper entities at the organization for approval prior to implementing services.
This process can occur once this RFGA funding is approved.
• Expanding professional development county wide and integrating into the local
educational institutes. The oral health program will seek relationships with numerous
educational institutions in order to provide provider outreach to allied health
professionals. Creating this network will take time to develop and the oral health
program will nurture these partnerships to communicate quality care and increased
oral health knowledge to medical and dental professionals.
FTF-MULT146-0519-00 Page 38
Dignity Health and MCDPH are already meeting to strategize and streamline the above
challenges and any other transition issues that may come up.
9. Describe how collaboration with one or more local organizations will be carried out in
program implementation, and identify the expected results due to the collaboration.
Specifically, identify your organization's level of collaboration with existing
providers/grantees
First Teeth First and Dignity Health have an exceptional working relationship that is based
on fluid communications, trust and complimentary abilities to deliver impeccable healthcare
services. Both organizations have a long history of working with First Things First and meeting the
expectations of the community and peers. Entering into this grant as two units working together
to provide seamless and quality oral health services across Maricopa County is effortless because
of the outstanding accomplishments by both organizations First Things First can expect optimal
delivery of care and successful outcomes regarding the performance measures related to the oral
heath strategy. Maricopa County along with Dignity Health is enthusiastic about the formation of
the First Teeth First program through all of Maricopa County. All tasks and responsibilities are
taken seriously and the oral health program (First Teeth First) will not disappoint the community
or the grantor.
MCDPH has a long standing positive working relationship with ADHS in general and the
Office of Oral Health. Both organizations are excited to partner in generating revenues for
continued oral health expansion and innovation. The expertise, national relationships and other
collaborations of the ADHS 00H will enhance not only the First Teeth First program, but also the
other oral health programs across the state and the First Things First service delivery.
One innovative vision of the oral health program is a pilot program with CVS minute clinics
regarding implementing an oral health component into their healthcare delivery system. CVS
understands that oral health is paramount to an individual's overall health. CVS minute clinics
provide nurse practitioners and physician assistants at locations throughout Maricopa County.
First Teeth First and Dignity Health have the ability to provide outreach and education to these
health providers regarding oral health education and fluoride varnish application. The recent oral
health Omnibus Bill allows for medical providers such as nurse practitioners and physician
assistants to apply fluoride varnish and properly bill for services. Establishing a relationship with
CVS will help more children throughout Maricopa County receive oral health preventive services
and leverage new policy related to provider scope of practice to accomplish this. As First Teeth
First and Dignity Health don't anticipate an issue reaching the required Target Service Units, this
relationship will allow for an increased organic delivery system of care. Ideally, First Teeth First
will educate and train CVS staff on oral health education and fluoride varnish application to carry
out services in their locations.

Please provide a brief description (250 words or less) of the proposed program, including service area and target
population. This description may be used by First Things First for public information regarding the grant.
The First Teeth First program provides oral health screenings, fluoride varnish and education to children
through the age of five years at Maricopa County Women, Infant and Children (WIC) clinics, childcare
centers, preschools and community based organizations in Maricopa County. This program provides a
basic oral health screening to the child and provides one on one education to parents at the time of
service. Children receive a toothbrush kit once services are completed to promote healthy brushing
habits to the child. The parent is encouraged to bring the child back to the site every six months to
receive services again and continue to promote healthy habits. Screenings and education is also provided
to expectant mothers. Professional development and outreach to medical and dental providers will
increase awareness and services to young children. In addition, partnerships with other health
professional learning institutions will enhance knowledge of oral health and how to incorporate this
knowledge into their practice. Finally, submitting claims for reimbursement will allow revenues to be
reinvested in the program for expansion, enhancement, and innovation and to sustain the program.

Success Story:
The First Teeth First program saw three year old Kevin at the Immunization clinic located at 67 th
Ave and Peoria. Kevin was screened by our dental hygienist and found that Kevin had three
teeth with very deep decay in them and was in pain. The hygienist informed the parents of the
cavities. The parents told the hygienist they didn't have any dental insurance and had no place
to take Kevin to receive services. The staff sent the urgent referral over to John C. Lincoln (JCL)
Desert Mission Children's Dental clinic that day and the staff at the clinic contacted Kevin's
parents to make an appointment. Kevin was seen the following Monday to have a dentist
examine him and the family was able to apply for the program at JCL clinic. The JCL clinic staff
was able to find a pedodontist to do all of his dental work pro bono. The family was very happy
with the services from all the agencies and will be taking Kevin back for routine 6 month visits
once all of the treatment has been completed.

Dear Ms. Urvater:
The Arizona Department of Health Services Office of Oral Health supports the application from the Maricopa
County Department of Public Health for the Multi-Region Oral Health Strategy RFGA No. FTF-MULTI-16-0519-
00,
The intent of the Oral Health Strategy is to provide best practice approaches that enhance the oral health status of
children, birth through age 5, residing in IVIaricopa County. This is a multi-regional strategy supported by the East
Maricopa, Northwest Maricopa, Southeast Maricopa, Southwest Maricopa, Phoenix North and Phoenix South
regions. The expected results for children are prevention and reduction in prevalence of early childhood tooth decay
and the associated risks for pain and infections that can lead to lifelong complications to health and wellbeing. The
approaches for this strategy include: oral health screening for children and expectant mothers with referrals to oral
health providers for follow up care as needed; fluoride varnishes for children; oral health education for families and
other caregivers; and outreach to families, caregivers and oral health and medical professionals.
If the grant proposal is awarded, the Office of Oral Health is committed to being a partner and working with the
Maricopa County Department of Public Health to support grant activities:
Grant Activities — The Arizona Department of Health Services Office of Oral Health will provide oversight
and administration of submission of dental claims for eligible children who receive fluoride varnish and
oral health services with the First Teeth First program.
The Office of Oral Health supports your grant proposal to improve the oral health of Arizona's children by
preventing and reducing the prevalence of early childhood tooth decay and providing services for underserved
populations.

Julia Wacloff, RDH, MSPH
