Immediate Past-President Report
ADHA Annual Session
June 17, 18, and 19, 2012
Phoenix, AZ
The South Dakota Dental Hygienists’ Association delegation for annual session consisted of:
Lead Delegate Jeanette Miranda-Immediate Past President
Delegate Zona Hornstra-Legislative Chair
Alternate Delegate Raye Brown-President
Alternate Delegate Teresa Bell-Member at Large
The delegation arrived at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Phoenix on Friday, June 15, 2012. We attended the IOH Benefit/President’s Reception
Friday evening. The theme was Southwest Salsa. Our donated Black Hill’s Gold RDH pin for the IOH Benefit sold for $75.00.
On Saturday we began the day with the Plenary Session and Awards Presentation. The Continental Breakfast was provided by Wrigley/Orbit gum.
We were entertained by American Native Hoop Dancers and Dancing with the Stars Season 13 Winner, J.R. Martinez was the featured speaker.
After the Plenary Session, it was off to make money for our association. Market Place was a BIG success this year. We sold a grand total of $485!
Please see attached report by Zona. The Association Update was provided by Ann Batrell, ADHA’s executive director. The environmental scan was
reviewed. Our final delegate duty on Saturday was the District VII Discussion #1. We gathered with the delegates from North Dakota, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin to evaluate the Proposed Resolutions and Proposed By-Law changes. We concurred with most of the proposals. District VII did
agree to propose an amendment for resolution dealing with a dental home for infants. The proposal recommended that all children have a dental
evaluation by the age of one year. We agreed that children should have a dental evaluation, but we did not want to put limitations on the ADHA
recommendations with a specific age attributed to the child.
Our delegate duties officially began on Sunday morning at 8:00am with the opening of the House of Delegates. After the opening session, we
listened to the Reference Committee accept testimony for changes of the proposed resolutions and by-law changes. After the Awards of
Excellence/President’s Luncheon, we met with Kathy Schroeder, ADHA Governmental Affairs. Please refer to Zona’s report. Sunday evening we
met with all of District VII for our District Dinner.
Mega Issues Discussions began the Monday morning festivities. Our topic this year was “How Should the Profession Prepare Dental Hygienists to
Work in Diversified Work Settings of the Future?” Many thoughtful and innovative suggestions were shared. We then went back to our District
Discussion #2 forum to review the Reference Committees recommendations. There was spirited debate during the 2nd House of Delegates during the
afternoon, but we finished the House business on a timely basis. Please find attached the outcomes of our voting. Balloting for our new slate of
officers was efficient. We finished our duties early enough to make the Diamondback’s/Mariner’s baseball game that evening.
Tuesday morning began early. We divided and conquered, with Zona and Teresa attending the Legislative Workshop and Raye and Jeanette
attending the Membership Workshop. A panel discussion on Cultural diversity examined dental hygienists role in addressing the changing needs of
the populations we serve. The 3rd House of Delegates consisted of announcements, acknowledgements and installation of our new officers and
trustees.
It was a successful, informative and fun adventure in dental hygiene.
Collaborative Supervision Committee
During the SDDHA Annual Session, a group of hygienists gathered to create a tool kit to assist hygienists and dentists seeking to enter into a
Collaborative Supervision Agreement. We have met monthly during the summer via phone conference. At this time, the committee is composed of
Raye Brown, Melissa Hill, Zona Hornstra, Suzanne Luken, Abby Schiley, Jean Gross, Julie Ellingson, Keri Thompson, Lonna Jones, Pat Alyward,
Katie Pudwill, Tami Peterson, and Jeanette Miranda. We are presently working on letters to dentists, hygienists, and nursing homes to encourage
participation in this opportunity. USD is assisting in creating continuing education courses to aid in making our Collaborative Supervision work.
While we are making strides in our effort for a streamlined process, we still have much work to do.

The constant contact information was sent without specifics on dental assistant, office personnel and dentist fee
options listed, so this may have affected early registration and frustration for those looking to attend. I had several
emails regarding the member and non-member only fee, which was listed as $65 member and $130 nonmember
and $75 at the door.
2. ANNUAL SESSION, Rapid City, May 17-18, 2013
I am working on speakers for the annual meeting at this time. I have a possible speaker, Sherry Burns with Hu
Friedy, charging a co-sponsor cost of $1800 that would be on our association. This is a very high fee and I am in
contact with Gina Opland at Henry Schein to be the co-sponsor and cover the fee. I have been awaiting a reply for
approximately 3 weeks.
Sherry Burns would provide 6 hours of CE on Saturday, 3 CE being “hands on” and the other 3 CE hours being

LEGISLATIVE REPORT FOR SEMI ANNUAL SESSION
28 September 2012
Legislative Committee consists of Lonna Jones, Teresa Bell, Cloie Nygaard. SDDHA Policy
and Procedure Manual sent to committee for review as to follow within their rights as a
committee member.
ORAL HEALTH COALITION MEETING 10 Sep 2012
In attendance: Raye B, Lonna J, Zona H, Nicole G, Jean G, Kerri M for RDH, several from
Avera, Scot Jones and 3 others from Delta, Paul K, Dept of Health, ---Utilization and Data- SDDA, and Delta wanting IHS information on procedures and billing
-Potential changes to Adult Medicaid reimbursements
-Avera clinics doing community health assessments to include Oral Health
-OHC will support IHS/ Delta coordinating to capture procedure information
-OHC not verbally support billing for procedures on Pregnant mothers and EducationNeed to consider writing letters to Medicaid to see if we as SDDHA can help get this pushed
through.
Paul K wanting to do more education on in office disability procedures and how to deal with this
level of patients. OHC will need to do online curriculum

Smile with Pride Delta Grant with IHS going to hire 7 RDH and 15 local OH
coordinators to work with tribes. Will need to be credentialed through tribe rules. Delta
Dental has ads out NEEDS TO PUT THIS ON MAIN SDDHA PAGE
 Future studies on silver nitrate to arrest decay- may become standard of care
 Volunteerism project like Mission of Mercy projects but do on reservations after initial
screening have been completed.
Zona reported on Collaborative Supervision- basics of how new practice act is supposed to work
and enhance access to care.
-SDDHA organized workforce group to organize toolkit to assist RDH in moving
forward with asking DDS for agreement and help figure out liability, reimbursement, and forms
needed to proceed
-Raye writing letters to state RDH to encourage participation in CS, Zona writing letters
to Nursing Home and Assisted living association and organizing visits with two nursing homes
to work on project implementation
-several DDS not interested in collaborating due to lack of profitability, liability and time
to see CS patients
Scott Jones states that CS works well for Delta Dental Buses because their RDH are paid
a salary and they can go ahead and expand treatment for care mobiles, but Zona and Nicole state
there is no business model for the clinical RDH to practice because they cannot be a Medicaid
provider and DDS may not want to collaborate.
-NPI numbers are good to have but have nothing to do with being reimbursed
Tele-dentistry pilot project and Paul K had discussion with DDS at board meeting and they are
not excited about this, due to their concern for a hands on clinical exam. Standard of Care in
dental schools is not to use explorers to check for decay Also there is no way (as of now for
DDS to be paid through a teledentistry exam by insurance).
Teledentisry could help CS in the future but we need to contain our excitement and see
what happens with this and CS, we still want CS to be tried and find better solutions to the bill
and existing change in the PA.
Discussed amongst Delta Dental and Paul K to bring in Speaker in May to talk about
Teledentistry and I recommended doing a pm session and involving the entire staff in the CE. It
is interesting that Delta wants to bring in Apple Tree from MN, because the State Board of
Dentistry is very opposed to this model due to the corporation potential that is could have within
the state of SD>.
Lonna, acting as Legislative Committee Member took on task of contacting Medicaid to try and
move forth with RDH getting a Medicaid Number.
Discussion has been extensive the last week on ADHA Public Health list serve about states able
to apply for Medicaid reimbursement and stressing the importance of all RDH’s obtaining an
NPI number first and a document to nationally track billing and forecast care provisions for oral
health care at the federal level.

OLD BUSINESS
ADHA Annual Meeting: There were no questions or concerns. Brown encouraged everyone to
attend the Annual Meeting.
Dental Hygiene Month: Brown handed out National Dental Hygiene Month pocket notebooks,
buttons, and gum.
Membership Challenge: Encouraged everyone to refer friends to join ADHA. Members who
refer will be entered into drawings for a paid registration fee for the Boston meeting.
Membership Profiles: Hill emailed profiles to Gmail. 33 out of 127 members filled this out.
Most people had 20 plus years of service. SF had the most members and the Black Hills had 3
members. Most people did not have any interest in volunteering. This survey was passed out at
the end of the Annual Session 2011. Miranda recommended not allowing lunch until forms are
filled out. 78 people attended Annual Session. Meyer stated 51 hygienists are signed up for
Semi-Annual Session. It was recommended to improve this with constant contact. Hornstra
recommended we work with ADHA to send us another survey. The goal of the survey was to
get to know our members and if SDDHA met the needs of our members. Hill, Miranda, and
Zona volunteered to work on the next survey for Annual Session.
Peterson- There will not be a Sweet Tooth 5K this year. 4 x $25 dollar gift cards were received
from (Black Hills District Dental Society)
Sona and Schiley sent toothbrushes in the Feeding America backpacks.
Brown recommended putting completed community service work in the local papers.
Budget Review: Meyer just payed the last bill. We profited $903. Incoming funds keep
decreasing. Spring posted budget numbers on the screen for board members to view. SemiAnnual Session budget is $3,000. Constant contact costs $55 per month. Brown recommended
we send out a postcard reminder of Annual Session to check the SDDHA website.
Bylaws, Procedures, and Policies: There was discussion about fees and lost CE audits. We are
to review these every year.
Amendments were made to the policies and procedures manual. “A motion can be made by any
board member and the president calls for the vote. Motions can be active through emails. The
president needs to tally the vote and submit it to the secretary. The secretary adds the email
motion to the following board meeting minutes. All discussion must be completed within the
week of making the motion. The vote will be at the end of the specified period. The vote must
come within the specified time. Page numbers also need to be added. Everyone should have a
flash drive instead of CD.” Llorens will add the amendments to the policies and procedures
manual after the above will be voted on in January, 2012.
Audits. If members loose cards of CE verification for their audits, they will turn to SDDHA to
ask for verification of attendance. The process is to take a photocopy of the sign in sheet,
highlight name, verified by who, state position, and date. Mail the photocopy to the person
requesting. Luken recommended we make this a policy and send this policy to the State Board
of Dentistry. Miranda recommended there be a fee for this. Luken recommended this be a
member benefit. The fee will be determined by the board. Hill recommended $10 per piece of
CE verification requested with a maximum. Extra Continuing Education cards remaining from
classes should be destroyed after CE is completed.
Brown requested to add Semi Annual session to the Vice President’s report.
The write-up will be voted on at next meeting (p. 12 in the bylaws). This will be presented in
May at the next Annual Session on what the wording should be.
Website Review:
7% opened SDDHA emails through constant contact.
Brown recommended a way of archiving or maintaining the newsletter.
EB 269- 12 Hill motioned to take a break at 4:31 PM and Dellman 2nd the motion. Motion
carried.
Brown called the meeting back to order at 4:41PM.
Brown pulled up the website to update it.
Luken said ADHA website will go live on Dec. 17th (512 is the newest version).
Dellman will take off the Marketplace button.
Aylward recommended a tobacco cessation link.
Brown asked for a motion for a committee.
EB -270-12 Miranda moved to form a website committee.
Motion failed due to no 2nd.
Committee was tabled. Every board member is responsible for emailing suggestions to Dellman
for reconstruction of the website. Jennifer recommended to Brown to get recent graduates to
step onto a group to give us feedback on the website recommendations. The goal is to enhance
our public image.
Collaborative Leaders:
Hornstra is currently gathering ideas from dental hygienists across the state. There is an issue
with liability insurance not covering hygienists outside of their original employment.
Luken discussed Bridging the Gap Program in North Dakota. They are writing a business plan
for hygienists to present to dentists. A profit for ND dental workers has been shown.
Brown referred Aylward to Miriam to work with us to get press release through ADHA.
Aylward recommended an Easy Media List. 146 media outlets for $140 (this includes email,
phone, fax, and mail address).
EB-271-12 Aylward motioned for $141.30 be available to purchase Easy Media List to send out
National Dental Hygiene Lists, Miranda 2nd it. Motion passed.
Aylward asked for a motion for a contact person.
EB -272-12 Fix motioned that Hornstra be the contact person for press release. Miranda 2nd the
motion. Motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
ADHA Delegate. We are the only state in our district that has an increasing number in
membership! We sent 2 delegates and 2 alternates to the ADHA session. It would cost $6,000
to send 4 people and $5,000 to send 3 people. Brown recommended we send 3 people as it is
unlikely someone would get sick on the trip so only 3 people are needed. It can be a delegate or
someone who has been there as an alternate.
Discussion tabled until the January meeting.
Legislative Review- Hornstra- Currently figuring how to get hygienists paid under the
Collaborative Agreement.
Lobbyist contact- Our grant fell through this year. We are struggling with our budget and we
are searching for rules and regulations in finding donations.
EB -274-12 Hornstra motioned to take a 5 minute break at 6:40 PM. Miranda 2nd the motion.
Motion carried.
Brown called the meeting back to order at 6:45 PM
Leg. Board Meeting- January 27, 2013- 3 PM (the next day we will serve breakfast to the

Past Annual fees: $65 for ADHA members, $75 at door for ADHA members, $130 for non
members, $60 for assistants and front office staff, $120 for dentists. ADA member’s charge
$150, allied staff member was $40 per person, $70 to become an allied staff member at the
meeting. We are losing DH’s to the Dental Meeting at Annual Session due to their cheaper
prices.
Sona recommended adding a separate lunch tab for DH’s to sign up for.
Brown asked for a motion to update fees.
EB 275-12 Meyer motioned to increase the fees $10 across the board (Semi-Annual: $75 for
ADHA members and assistants, $140 for non members and dentists) (Annual: $85 for ADHA
members and $160 for non members and dentists, $95 for members and $170 for dentists for
registration at the door). Aylward 2nd it. Motion carried.

The luncheon charge will be tabled until January.
Brown recommended 4-5:30PM Social in Rapid City be funded by the Black Hills Component
(Celebrating 100 years in the Dental Hygiene profession). This will also be tabled and discussed
in January.
Pre-Board Meeting- May 16- 1:00 PM
District Workshop May 3-5 in Sioux Falls- We will be hosting this. The President Elect and
Immediate Past President will organize rooms for this (will review proposed bylaws in Boston).
Student delegates will be there. Please encourage USD students to write their essays to be

include the following: “We are glad you are on board. Call us today.”
