The End of an Era? Dentistry and the New “Moral Era” in Health Care
Carlos Quiñonez, DMD, MSc, PhD, FRCD(C)
This session will apply Berwick’s “three era” framework to understanding the ethical and professional pressures now at play within the dental care sector. From proposed and actual reforms in the governance, financing and delivery of dental care, to related calls for greater accountability and transparency within dentistry, some argue that dentistry’s golden era has come to an end. Is this true? Is there reason to be worried, or is our new environment replete with opportunity? Now, more than ever, dentistry is called upon to fulfill its social contract, and it can do so for the benefit of all, whether practitioners, funders or patients. Learning Objectives: • To understand Berwick’s “three era” framework and how it applies to the dental care sector • To understand how the “moral era” provides dentistry with an opportunity to meet its social contract for the benefit of all stakeholders • To consider what the delivery of dental care might look like in the years to come
