Aetna’s Dentists get iPads to Help Patients Stop Smoking
January 31, 2012 Aetna is set to begin a trial program that equips New York City-area dentists with iPads to help them better educate their patients about tobacco use in an effort to curb smoking. The trial program includes a clinical decision support system (CDSS) that is built on a medical knowledge base, patient data, and decision support technology that provides dentists with personally targeted advice for each patient. The trial is still in its earliest stages: Aetna is working with Columbia University to design and implement the program.
