Developing a Multilayer Framework for Integrating Oral Health into General Health: A Scoping Review from Oral Healthcare Workers’ Perspectives

: This scoping review synthesizes five integration domains and four cross-cutting strategic directions for embedding oral health within broader healthcare systems. By conceptualizing integration across macro, meso, and micro levels, the study provides a structured framework that may serve as a reference for policymakers, educators, and health service leaders. The findings highlight potential enablers, such as coordinated governance, workforce development, digital infrastructure, and community engagement, which could support integration.

Abstract

: This scoping review synthesizes five integration domains and four cross-cutting strategic directions for embedding oral health within broader healthcare systems. By conceptualizing integration across macro, meso, and micro levels, the study provides a structured framework that may serve as a reference for policymakers, educators, and health service leaders. The findings highlight potential enablers, such as coordinated governance, workforce development, digital infrastructure, and community engagement, which could support integration.
