The Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) recently released its annual State Health Improvement Plan report, which showed that making Medicaid dental providers available to underserved communities is one of the areas requiring the most work.
The report, announced at the DPH's annual stakeholders meeting, is designed to show how the state's actions are lining up with its health priorities, which are determined through a State Health Needs Assessment (SHNA), according to an article on the state government's website. Additional areas identified as priorities by the SHNA include chronic disease, maternal and child health, substance use disorder and mental health.
The area with "the greatest degree of alignment" with the SHNA priorities was the "making the healthy choice the easy choice" educational effort.
