The University of California, San Francisco, has begun using Virtual Dental Care's Teledentix software to improve oral healthcare access in children, according to a June 28 press release.
Teledentix assists dental offices with virtual communication and documentation tools. UCSF will use the software to manage patient flow and documentation for its Virtual Dental Home project.
The project includes goals of addressing underserved communities, furthering medical and dental integration, and establishing virtual dental homes in rural health departments.
UCSF will also utilize Teledentix to offer hybrid dental visits for children with special healthcare needs.
