On December 6, 2018, in Washington, DC, the Roundtable on Health Literacy of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop titled Integrating Oral and General Health Through Health Literacy Practices. Health literacy can be a powerful force in both driving and motivating the integration of oral health care and general health care, explained the roundtable chair, Bernard Rosof, chief executive officer of the Quality in Health Care Advisory Group, and professor of medicine in the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.

In 2017, the oral health collaborative commissioned an environmental scan on integration efforts. The resulting paper, "Integrating Oral Health, Primary Care, and Health Literacy: Considerations for Health Professional Practice, Education, and Policy," is a comprehensive look at efforts to integrate systems that operate in what the authors call parallel, if not separate, universes.2 The December 6, 2018, workshop provided an opportunity to build on the commissioned paper and on the roundtable's previous efforts related to oral health.
