It is commonly acknowledged that the United States’ health-care system produces some of the finest care in the world for some people but fails to meet the needs of others. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued six aims for a redesigned health-care system, that it be: safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. The purpose of this paper is to use an ongoing community-based study to illustrate current problems in the provision of oral health services that could be addressed through information technology. Appropriate use of information technology can assist dental schools and clinics in community-based clinical outcomes research needed to assemble the evidence base for improving oral health care. This conference serves as an important steppingstone to establish a means for information technology to improve the community’s oral health.

A new framework is needed for patients with chronic pain and their primary care physicians that acknowledges the individual’s experiences and provides evidence-informed education and better linkages to community-based resources. This study describes the experience of 19 chronic-pain sufferers who seek relief via the health care system. Their experiences were recorded through in-depth semistructured interviews and analyzed through qualitative methods. The participants reported early optimism, then disillusionment, and finally acceptance of living with chronic pain. Both individuals with chronic pain and their health care professionals need evidence-informed resources and information on best practices to assist them to manage pain. Empathetic communication between health care professionals and individuals with chronic pain is crucial because insensitive communication negatively affects the individual, reduces treatment compliance and increases health care utilization.
