The Patient-Centered Dental-Health Home
a CHC establishes contracts with a formal bid for
equipment and service suppliers, after a grant has
been awarded by the U.S. Government, prohibit
companies from competing if they have drafted
the specifications for the CHC. There may also
be fiscal, administrative, civil, or other penalties
for programs and companies involved with
non-compliant activities. We're sure you agree -
we all want to do what's right.
Henry Schein is helping you meet Federal
Procurement Guidelines for the formal bid process,
while providing your program with informational
resources to help you make expert decisions within
approved parameters:
* Before you issue a bid, and to help with the
creative process, we will provide you with
example clinic floor plans and access to design
tools on the Henry Schein design website:
www.henryscheinintegrateddesign.com.
* We will provide you with example layout
templates for treatment rooms.
* We will wait until you have completed the bid
process to provide you with specific floor plans
for your designated space; as part of any bid
award to Henry Schein for equipment for your
project, we will provide comprehensive design
services for your site including equipment
specifications and site readiness requirements
at no additional charge.
* Before you issue a bid, and to help with budget
planning and grant applications, we will provide
you with complete, but generic equipment and
technology lists with solid budget estimates.
* When you request the bid, we will provide
a legal response with complete, specific
equipment item numbers, manufacturers,
descriptions, and exact pricing.
* We will provide you with useful marketing
materials on products and resources you may
want to know of.
* If you choose to use a sole-source approach in
lieu of the bid process, we can provide you with
technical information and details to assist you.
Begin with a Plan
This may sound basic, but it's important advice
from our expert panel. They have seen too many
community health programs add a dental program
without a complete plan, which is not just a facility
design, but a comprehensive analysis of how the
oral health program will function and be sustainable
is needed. Your planning team should include
an attorney, an architect, and an experienced
building contractor (in dental clinics). Dental
programs are expensive to create and expensive
to operate. Community Health Program dental
needs are different from those of private practice.
Fortunately, there are many successful programs
around the country that are willing to share their
best practices as well as the guiding principles we
are about to share. Mistakes can be crippling. Too
many programs underestimate cost, not just for
operations but for adding a dental clinic.
