  Building Trust: Multidisciplinary Approach to Patient Care

  Rebecca Haas, Erin Brown, Simona Lysakova, and Megha Shankar

  A multidisciplinary team collaborated to design an innovative care plan for a simulated patient grappling with chronic, sporadic headaches and a deep distrust of healthcare providers. Despite having good insurance, a stable income, and residing in an affluent neighborhood, our patient confronts the stigma that often hinders individuals from seeking the care they need. This raises a critical question: How can we rebuild trust in the patient-provider relationship to ensure that our patient not only experiences immediate relief but also long-term care for preventative measures? Our care plan was directed based on the health professional programs represented in the care team.

  Multidisciplinary Approach: Postpartum Menorrhagia, Depression & Homelessness

  Makaila LaShomb and Violet Sullivan

  Taking a multidisciplinary approach to addressing patient needs creates an opportunity to address the source of a patient's symptoms, while providing an emotionally safe space for the patient to feel seen. This case demonstrates a potential approach for providing medical, dental, and mental healthcare to a patient experiencing deficits in multiple aspects of the social determinants of health. Taking time to listen to the patient's social needs and goals and including the patient in determining the course of treatment will assist in addressing current basic needs, while educating and empowering the patient moving forward.

  Integrative Care Approaches for Dental Rehabilitation in a Patient with Complex Medical and Social Needs

  Stephen McRae, Essie Love, Mallory Kingsley, and Stephanie Merril

  This case involves a 35-year-old female patient presenting with chronic dental pain and poor oral health, expressing a desire for complete tooth extraction and denture placement. The patient reports a 5-year history of worsening tooth pain primarily affecting her maxillary teeth, with a background of abscesses and previous mandibular molar extractions due to decay. She experiences constant pain, gum inflammation, and significant difficulty chewing, with over-the-counter pain relief measures proving ineffective. The patient acknowledges a lack of regular oral hygiene practices, attributed to limited access to clean water, and reports a diet consisting mainly of coffee. Her dental health is severely compromised, necessitating consideration for extraction and prosthetic rehabilitation. The patient is insured through MaineCare and is currently unemployed. She has a history of substance use (methamphetamine), along with comorbid conditions including anxiety, depression, anorexia nervosa, and psoriasis. Given the patient's significant dental issues, socioeconomic factors, and underlying health conditions, a multidisciplinary approach is warranted to address her immediate dental needs and long-term health outcomes. Future dental visits are planned, with transport arranged through her caseworker to ensure continuity of care.
