5.  / Date of Initial Proposal: (Enter the date you first submit the Action Plan Submission Form to the unit manager for review.)
October 20, 2009
6.  / Description of Action Plan: (Include an overview of the Action Plan, including issues leading to the development of the plan, general outline of anticipated activities, and desired results.)
The remaining equipment in the Dental Hygiene Clinic Lab is fourteen years old and out-of-date. It is not up to the standard of what is utilized in the modern dental facility. The old chairs break down repeatedly, requiring continuous service repair. The dental equipment company will discontinue support of the remaining dental chairs in 2014, which means parts will be difficult to obtain. The dental tubing on the old chairs must be disinfected, which is costly to the department. This also poses a safety hazard of cross contamination; the new dental chairs are equipped with antimicrobial tubing eliminating the need to disinfect with costly chemicals.
It has been reported that with-in five years dental radiographic film will be difficult to locate. The majority of modern dental facilities utilize digital radiography.
The request for the USB intraoral camera will meet industry standards utilized in patient risk assessment.
The desired result is to complete the Dental Hygiene Clinic Lab Renovation Phase II. This would allow equitable learning for all students and prepare them to enter a workforce with current knowledge of industry standards.
7.  / Identify the impact on resources and anticipated costs of the Action Plan. (Resources to consider include Budget (supplies and/or equipment), Facilities, Human Resources, Staff Development, and Technology. Be sure to check with the appropriate college office for assistance in developing these costs; for example, check with the Director of Technology for technology purchase estimates, or the College Business Manager for estimates of human resource costs. Provide a total estimated cost of the Action Plan.)

Facilities

Carl Simms, SCCCD Director of Maintenance and Operations, is aware of a copper connection that would require soldering in order to accommodate the new A-dec dental chair vacuum system. Mr. Simms and his team provided this service during Phase I of the renovation.
The old dental chairs have been used in the Health Sciences building for the 14 years. When the old dental chairs are removed from the clinic, floor tiles under the chairs may be broken and/or removed completely. Mr. Simms said that if it is just a few tiles, his crew can probably make the repairs.
A-dec Dental Equipment Company and Patterson Dental Company have been contacted and have provided a written estimate for Phase II of the Dental Hygiene Clinic Laboratory renovation. Contracts reflect the costs of the clinic equipment and installation. Part of the cost ($800.00) is not included in the contract; it involves moving 16 A-dec 1021 chairs from the clinic to the District warehouse. The old clinic equipment would then be advertised for sale by the District and sold at the FCC surplus property public auction.

Human Resources

The American Dental Association, Commission on Dental Accreditation; requires a 1:5 instructor to student ratio. The Department of Dental Hygiene is in accordance with this accreditation requirement. No additional HR resources are requested at this time.

Technology

The support for Eaglesoft dental software must be factored into the budget, the current support (Phase I years 1-3) will expire in three years. As technology evolves, the computerized dental equipment will require support and replacement. Years 4-6 will require a budget line of $2,700.

9.  / Objective(s) under the Goal: (Select the objective(s) under the goal selected in question 9 that the Action Plan addresses. Enter the objective(s) exactly as written.)
The Strategic Plan Objective 3.1 “The college will schedule programs and course offerings to meet learner needs” best describes the objective of this Action Plan.
10.  / Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) specific to the Action Plan and Objective(s): (Select one KPI that will be the primary measure of the results of this Action Plan. If desired, you may include additional KPIs to measure the results. As appropriate, adjust KPIs with the addition of more specific measures for your action plan, e.g., Student learning outcomes might change to: “percentage of students that pass the medication math exam on the first attempt”).
KPI #9 Student Educational Goals regarding Degrees/Certificates and Job Placement.
Dental employers are surveyed regarding the qualifications of Fresno City College dental hygiene graduates. Positive responses to questions that address the preparation of students to work in modern dental practices would be an indication of program success.
11.  / Program Review Recommendation
The Program Review Committee was impressed with the Quantitative Data for the program. The retention and success rates are excellent for the program. The document was accepted as written, with minor corrections. A motion was made, seconded and passed by the Program Review Committee to accept the self-study document and approved recommendations that the Program continue.
A motion was made, seconded and passed to support the Dental Hygiene Action Plan for the Dental Hygiene Clinic Lab Renovation Phase II project.
12.  / Baseline data and additional supporting evidence: (Provide a copy of relevant Enrollment Trends, Advisory Committee Minutes and Recommendations, and any other evidence that would support the approval of the Action Plan, along with any baseline data that the Action Plan will seek to improve.)
The Fresno City College Dental Hygiene Program remains a valuable program for the college. There were 128 applicants in the lottery pool for the 2011 entering class, of which the program accepted 30 students.
The Fresno City College Dental Hygiene Advisory Committee wrote a letter of support for the Dental Hygiene Clinic Lab Renovation Project, and recommend the Phase II project be completed.
The Action Plan for the Phase II project will address the concerns of Dental Hygiene Graduates of 2010 currently surveyed. The survey clearly demonstrated a need to include modern dental equipment and technology into the program curriculum.
13.  Describe the final outcomes once the Action Plan is implemented: (Outcomes are ways to measure the success of the Action Plan – the “end results” of the Action Plan. Outcomes need to be specific, measurable, and obtainable. Example for SMART Classroom Action Plan: Provide a minimum level of audio/visual capability to every classroom, lab, and conference/meeting room on campus.)
When the Action Plan is completed, students will be able to:
1) Successfully complete patient treatment utilizing safe and reliable dental equipment according to occupational and licensing guidelines.
2) Demonstrate the skills to work in a modern, digital dental practice by entering patient treatment data, digital radiographs and intraoral photographs on the computer at their units. This skill would make graduates more employable and lead to more employer satisfaction.
14.  Action Plan Activities and Timeline once the Action Plan is approved and funded: (Identify specific activities that you will implement with the Action Plan. Sequence the activities from beginning to completion of the Action Plan. State the anticipated start date following Action Plan approval. Identify any landmark dates during the Action Plan activity. State the anticipated completion date of the Action Plan. (Move to end of form)
