Physical Findings

That the speech clinician can play an important role in the identification and referral of clients with certain syndromes is exemplified in this case report. Speech and structural deviations in a client seen in the Osseo, Minnesota, Public Schools prompted referral to the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Although the structural deviations were of minimal significance for speech production, the combination of physical findings led to the diagnosis of a rare syndrome of oligodontia, taurodontism, and facial features of ectodermal dysplasia. The dental and genetic significance of these findings are discussed.

Age Range

Prescription opioid medications continue to be abused on an epidemic level and have been shown to be a “gateway” drug to heroin abuse. Individuals experimenting with opioids commonly fall in the 10- to 19-year age range in which dentists are the highest prescribers. To reduce the number of excess opioids, the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Minnesota, developed and implemented an evidence-based opioid prescribing policy. Data were collected via electronic health record for the previous year and compared with the year following the protocol implementation. The results showed a drastic decrease (>46%) in the number of prescriptions given over a 1-year period. All departments reported a decrease in opioid prescriptions and the average number of tablets per prescription. The concern of undertreating pain was not found to be significant, as there was no increase in after-hours calls, recall appointments, or documentable emergency room visits. The results support the efficacy of an opioid prescribing policy's ability to lower the frequency and number of opioids given to patients, while still adequately treating patients’ pain. Continued evaluation and modifications of the protocol and close monitoring of prescriber habits will enhance patients’ pain control while also limiting the number of opioids available for abuse.

Abstract:The development of an innovative clinical decision-support project such as the University of Minnesota’s Clinical Workstation initiative mandates the use of modern client-server network architectures. Preexisting conventional laboratory information systems (LIS) cannot be quickly replaced with client-server equivalents because of the cost and relative unavailability of such systems. Thus, embedding strategies that effectively integrate legacy information systems are needed. Our strategy led to the adoption of a multi-layered connection architecture that provides a data feed from our existing LIS to a new network-based relational database management system. By careful design, we maximize the use of open standards in our layered connection structure to provide data, requisition, or event messaging in several formats. Each layer is optimized to provide needed services to existing hospital clients and is well positioned to support future hospital network clients.
