	“Chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that are often treated in medical home settings can also be the purview of medical specialists other than physicians. Optometrists and dentists both come to mind in this area. At CareMore, we're currently integrating dental care with medical care because we're thinking more broadly about how doctors, dentists and other providers can provide a broader range of services. Ostensibly many of our patients want to preserve their teeth in order to continue eating solid food and maintaining their quality of life. But we also found that because of that, they are more likely to visit the dentist multiple times a year than they are their physician. Integrating the two services is likely to lead to better care that is more closely coordinated.” - Sachin Jain, M.D., Chief Executive Officer, CareMore.
