Abstract
ORATEL (a telematic system for quality assurance indicators in oral health care) is a three-year project with the ultimate objective of improving the quality of oral health care through the use of appropriate computerised information systems. These tools are designed to promote quality assurance and quality of care development in oral health care by using common quality indicators/standards. ORATEL has developed three prototypes of computerised information systems: an interactive multimedia teach software on quality assurance in oral health care, ORATEL-TEACH; a proactive quality assurance support tool for real time use at the dental unit, ORATEL-PROACT; and an integrated set of modules for monitoring and self assessment at the clinical level and for the computerised reporting of aggregated data for evaluation at higher levels, ORATEL-REVAL. The initial experiences of using these tools was assessed during 1993 in general dental practice locations in Liverpool and clinics in for other European countries. Overall, the dentists were positive about the potential usefulness of the ORATEL tools but further improvements were considered necessary. Finding has been approved by the European Commission for further development under a new project called ORQUEST.
