"Orofacial Manifestations of Systemic Diseases"

Course Objectives

Oral cavity is readily accessible for inspection and a gateway for assessment of general health. In fact, many systemic conditions affecting organs far from the head and neck region could manifest in the orofacial region, sometimes prior to their diagnosis. Abnormalities detected in the orofacial region may also represent complications related to medical therapy or raise concerns about substance abuse. This program provides illustrative examples of orofacial findings associated with diagnosed or subjectively silent systemic disease, medical therapy and substance abuse. Relevant signs, symptoms, and diagnostics are reviewed and the potential role of oral health care providers in recognition, referral, follow-up and overall management is emphasized.

OPWDD Launches Medicaid Data Dashboards

Oct 28, 2024

Per the notice below, the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) has launched a series of Medicaid data dashboards on the services it provides to the developmentally disabled population.

OPWDD Releases New Data on Developmental Disabilities Services

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

As part of my commitment to enhancing the agency’s transparency and being more responsive to stakeholder feedback, I am excited to share new, interactive, Medicaid data dashboards as part of this year’s annual release of information on services.  For the first time, the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) has added Medicaid expenditure data on OPWDD services and supports that can be broken out by region, type of service, type of self-direction being used, if applicable, and service provider.  Different “data dashboards” provide information on total expenditures, average expenditures, and the use of services, and can be sorted in a number of ways, depending on user interest.  For example, you could look at information about services received by people in a particular region of the state or by people of a particular age group.  In addition to these interactive dashboards, we have redesigned our data webpages to make it easier to access the information and have released a new set of By the Numbers infographics that provide concise visual summaries of information about our services and supports.  These updates will help OPWDD to make information about our service system readily available and easy to understand for everyone.  We remain committed to continually improving our ability to collect, analyze, and share data about our service programs and sharing data that informs our policies and our ongoing work to improve the service system.  To view the new data resources, visit www.opwdd.ny.gov/data.

Sincerely,

Willow Baer
Acting Commissioner
