| Description: The primary goal of this proposal is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated electronic health record system that includes a eMedical Record (EMR), eDental Record (EDR), and a Personal eHealth Record (PHR) to improve the quality and safety of dental care for patients with chronic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, pulmonary disease, and conditions that cause xerostomia (dry mouth).
