In July, 2011 representatives from your organization gave a presentation to the Regional Operations Quality Group (ROQG) at the Kaiser Permanente Building. I was fortunate enough to be in attendance and I realized how much the work you do is in parallel to the work that I am doing for Permanente Dental Associates as the Associate Director, Quality of Care. I have been working with Kristi McWilliams (the Director, Dental Quality & Service for Kaiser Foundation of the NW Dental Program) to develop a scorecard for dentistry and we would like to explore the possibility of working with your organization to develop measures for dentistry that are similar to the HEDIS measures for Medicine. If this is of interest to you please contact me at the e-mail address above or at 503-813-4947. Thank you for your consideration. Regards, Chuck
