There are two sides of referral management to handle – inbound and outbound. In light of the growing need to adopt a low-touch approach that taps into technology while also leveraging workforce skills, Altura Centers for Health sought to make the referral management process as self-sustaining and automated as possible. To better tackle their large volume of referrals, they've begun to implement a new referral system that manages most of the inputs, thereby freeing up more staff from the inbound referral processes. We hear from Arnie Reynoso, chief information officer at Altura Centers for Health, as he talks about their efforts to minimize the need for staff involvement in referral management, from referral to specialist review, scheduling, and ultimately, patient care.

What is equity-centered community design? This transformative concept focuses on centering the voices and decision-making power of individuals with lived experience, who Creative Reaction Lab refers to as “living experts.” It also calls on human-centered design experts and others to use their leverage, access, and influence to support and amplify community voices. In this session, CCI's Chris Conley chats with Hilary Sedovic, a systems thinker and former learning & education director at Creative Reaction Lab. Sedovic, who calls herself a “redesigner for justice,” sheds light onto the key role that design allies have in empowering living experts. Creative Reaction Lab emphasizes building quality relationships, humility, and embracing a collective investment in community well-being in order to move towards greater equity and inclusivity in design. Learn how this type of civic engagement and the redesigning for justice movement can move us to reshape the narrative -- creating a just world through authentic collaboration and community-centered approaches in the design process.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Hilary Sedovic, Systems Thinker | Redesigner for Justice | Pragmatic IdealistCatalyst, CCI's design thinking training programCreative Reaction Lab, building a youth-led, community-centered movement of a new type of Civic Leader: Redesigners for Justice.

Resolving care gaps requires more than simply introducing technological platforms and helping patients get familiar with digital processes. Despite the rise of video visits to help patients expand their access to numerous services, health centers are finding that a robust virtual care team experience may not necessarily be what all patients are looking for. This learning has helped Petaluma Health Center to focus more resources on patient navigation support as well as accommodations for in-person visits. The goal is not that every patient has a video visit, but that every patient gets the kind of visit that's most appropriate for them.Learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Jessicca Moore, FNP, and Director of Innovation at Petaluma Health CenterTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities
For many health centers and clinics, educating a diverse patient population about digital tracking tools to monitor blood pressure is a challenge. However, learning to adapt based on patient needs is vital to ensure both continuity of care and staff bandwidth. Asian Health Services (AHS) in Oakland, California, leverages health coaches and digital health advocates to support these evolving needs. They work closely with community members with varying levels of digital literacy as well as hypertension requiring different levels of management. For the care team, this allows them to move from a labor-intensive and sometimes inconsistent approach to hypertension, to the lighter-touch practice of remote blood pressure monitoring.In our conversation with George Lee, he shares Asian Health Services' multi-phase journey in patient education for remote care and where they've had to pivot along the way in order to better integrate IT into their existing operations.Learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Dr. George Lee, Chief Innovation Officer at Asian Health ServicesTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been an emerging hot topic over the last several months with the rise of Open AI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's integration of ChatGPT technology into its Bing search engine, and Google's announcement of its own chatbot, known as Bard. And while there are concerns about the more “general AI” technologies built to improve neural network capabilities so they are comparable to those of humans, health care systems are able to expand their services by leveraging the more familiar “narrow” or single-task AI tools, such as virtual chat assistance. Deploying this kind of AI technology can lead to an enhanced self-service experience for patients. We welcome Matt White, Director of Innovation at Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS), who shares how they've begun to thoughtfully integrate AI technology in order to better understand their patient engagement, with the ultimate aim to provide a consistent experience across all digital channels.Learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Matt White, Director of Innovation at Contra Costa County Health ServicesHyro.aiTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities
Health Pilots returns in 2023 and we're kicking off this year with an “in-case-you-missed-it” episode from 2022, featuring one of our top, most popular episodes in this "Best of Health Pilots." Enjoy!Scheduling appointments is one of the biggest challenges facing community health centers. Patients often lose those self-addressed postcard reminders, and manually calling patients to book a recall appointment is a major slog for clinic staff. The flurry of activity around COVID-19 tests and vaccines has only compounded that problem, as patients encounter jammed phone lines and long wait times. But starting in 2021, Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center began piloting an automated patient recall system — one that offers easier, more efficient outreach, as well as the personalized text message nudge patients need.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Caleb Sandford, Chief Transformations Officer at Tiburcio Vasquez Health CenterArtera.io (formerly WELL Health)Technology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communitiesFollow CCI on: LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and get the latest news, updates, ideas straight to your inbox!Podcast production services by Wayfare Recording Company.© 2023 Center for Care Innovations.

To assess patients on a one-to-one basis for social determinants of health (SDOH) is an important, yet often high touch process conducted by health center staff. So what might a lower touch approach to these vital screenings look like? Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC) sought to explore innovative solutions in order to assess the specific needs of their over 80,000 patients throughout Los Angeles County. Today we hear from Debra Rosen and Alejandra Mata at NEVHC about their exciting and ongoing journey in digitizing the patient screening process.

Rolling out a new phone system can be a daunting undertaking for health centers, especially because it involves call center personnel as well as office managers, medical assistants, and IT staff. During the pandemic, this pivot was especially important to support staff who found themselves shifting to remote work or bouncing between their home and office workstation. West County Health Centers made this leap, switching from traditional phone hardware and a reliance on telecom engineers to internet-based phones and a cloud-based system. Its leaders confirm it was a challenging endeavor, but one that was well worth it in the long run.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Summer Penn, Director of Clinical Informatics at West County Health CentersDialpad, an all-in-one voice -over-IP (VoIP) cloud-based platform that provides voice calling, messaging, and meetingsTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities.© 2022 Center for Care Innovations.

What does it look like to reshape the experience of scheduling appointments in a way that enhances the continuity of care? Patients manage competing commitments and may face certain barriers to make appointments and follow-ups. Community health center staff members are tasked daily with a large volume to meet the often insurmountable expectations of appropriately matching a given patient to the correct provider to a timely appointment. Petaluma Health Center took on this challenge leading with a data-driven and patient-attuned mindset aimed to optimize appointment utilization while also better enriching staff capability despite limited human resources, and overall ensuring for greater access to health.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Kimberly Keller, Director of Business Operations at Petaluma Health CenterJessicca Moore, Family Nurse Practitioner and Director of Innovation at Petaluma Health CenterAidan Health PRAPARE Screening ToolWELL HealthTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities.© 2022 Center for Care Innovations.

A patient portal is a great innovation, but busy clinic staff don't have time to help every patient get set up on them and answer all their questions about it. In addition, patients often need ongoing support on how to communicate with their provider on the website, get updates, and access their health records.Enter the Health Tech Navigators — people serving in a role that is for the community, by the community. These Navigators, hired directly from the community, work closely with patients to support not only enrollment, but to increase portal use and to bridge gaps in healthcare accessibility that have long existed with language, culture, trust, and tech literacy. Listen to how the Los Angeles Department of Health Services (LADHS) created and supports its Health Tech Navigator program to surface a growing practice of cultural humility and competency in patient engagement.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Anshu Abhat MD, MPH, Director of Patient Engagement in the Office of Patient Access at LADHSMayra Ramirez, MSW, ASW, Staff Analyst, Program Manager with the Patient Engagement Program at LADHSLA Health Portal AppTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities.© 2022 Center for Care Innovations.

Can a more advanced patient portal improve face-to-face visits? Appointments are often jam-packed with asking key questions, deploying screening tools, and then chronicling all those answers that it's increasingly difficult to also analyze patient data and provide insightful, in-the-moment guidance. Shasta Community Health Center bet that a revamp of its patient portal could enable patients to take a more active role in their care while also improving provider workflows. In this episode, we discuss how staff, patients, and other key stakeholders all collaborated on retooling and optimizing this platform.Listen all the way through to the end for a special guitar jam from our guest!Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Charles Kitzman, chief information officer, Shasta Community Health CenterInteliChartTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities© 2022 Center for Care Innovations.

Scheduling appointments is one of the biggest challenges facing community health centers. Patients often lose those self-addressed postcard reminders, and manually calling patients to book a recall appointment is a major slog for clinic staff. The flurry of activity around COVID-19 tests and vaccines has only compounded that problem, as patients encounter jammed phone lines and long wait times. But starting in 2021, Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center began piloting an automated patient recall system — one that offers easier, more efficient outreach, as well as the personalized text message nudge patients need.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Caleb Sandford, chief transformation officer at Tiburcio Vasquez Health CenterWELL HealthTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities© 2022 Center for Care Innovations.
