The Purpose of a Needs & Assets Assessment

The purpose of a Needs & Assets Assessment is to develop a well-defined scope of understanding of the current state of school-based oral health services, identify which oral health services are needed, and how these services may best be implemented. Each school-based oral health program is unique to the school setting and student needs. The Feasibility Calculator is key to assessing the possibility of implementing a school-based oral health program.

The Feasibility Calculator is designed to assess the financial sustainability of an existing or future school-based oral health program. It also may be used to assess the financial sustainability of expanding services by enabling users to modify numbers and quickly see how that affects models.
