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. They share how integrating different tools on a familiar platform can better identify specific patient population needs and allow them to offer pertinent community resources more widely - while also impacting the provider's quality of service at the point of care.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Debra Rosen, RN, MPH, Director of Quality, Health Equity, and Innovation; and Alejandra Mata, Associate Director of Health Equity - Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC)One Degree, web and mobile platform that makes it easy for low-income families to find, manage, and review nonprofit and government servicesTechnology Hub, a CCI program that helps organizations vet, pilot, evaluate, and spread innovative digital health solutions targeting Medicaid markets and historically underinvested communities. *Exciting announcement!

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.

Happy Summer! CCI is taking a break this August. During this organization-wide closure, CCI staff are planning to “unplug” together — rescheduling activities, snoozing notifications, and turning off screens. If you're also looking to unplug, you should find this episode particularly compelling! We invite you to take a moment to [re]listen to one of last year's most popular Health Pilots episodes called, “Readiness, Response, Recovery, and Renewal.”This "4 R's" framework covers the different phases of the pandemic: readiness, response, recovery, and renewal. Our hope is that this scaffolding can help health centers and other safety net organizations navigate the evolving crisis.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Dr. Irene Sung, CCI coachDr. Ken Epstein, CCI coachResilient Beginnings Network, a CCI program dedicated to advancing pediatric care delivery models that are trauma- and resilience-informed so that 100,000 young children and their caregivers have the support they need to be well and thriveHeal SF, a comprehensive effort to provide immediate and coordinated mental health services for San Francisco's public, private, and non-profit health care providersRetired Public Health Leaders Respond to COVID Mental Health Crisis, Heal SFTrauma Transformed, an organization that advances trauma-informed and healing-centered systems© 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.

What does it take for an entire network of safety net health centers to transition to a new electronic health record (EHR) system — one that enhances coordinated care and is better equipped to serve their communities? For Community Health Center Network (CHCN), it was a multiyear journey involving many readiness assessments, drumming up excitement to encourage staff buy-in, and lots of collaboration across all levels of the organization. In this episode, we discuss lessons learned and the bright spots of this enormous project.

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.

Elizabeth Morrison, an expert motivational interviewing trainer, returns to share best practices in empathy-based communication for virtual health care settings. This episode is for anyone who wants to learn more of these key techniques for phone and video visits.Morrison tells us:Affirming strengths means noticing and amplifying a person's values and goodness. By affirming strengths, we show people that we are focused and attuned to what is best about them, their inherent worth and unique abilities. This strengths perspective represents a paradigm shift in the field of health care. It is a move away from traditional deficit and pathology-based communication models and towards truly whole-person care.If a rift in a conversation opens up, use “repair strategies” to rebuild the trust and relationship at hand. These strategies include expressing apology, regret, and wishes.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Elizabeth Morrison ConsultingRsourced, Morrison's curated collection of human-centered resourcesEmpathic Communication in Phone and Video VisitsWhat Exactly Is Motivational Interviewing?Webinar: Empathic Communication Strategies for Telemedicine© 2021 Center for Care Innovations.

Elizabeth Morrison, an expert motivational interviewing trainer, joins us to share best practices in empathy-based communication for virtual health care settings. This episode is for anyone who wants to practice these key techniques for phone and video visits. Morrison tells us:Reflective listening involves repeating back what we have heard the other person say. This demonstrates that we are paying attention and that we want to make sure we've heard someone correctly. More importantly, it demonstrates hearing them is important to us, and that we value what they've shared. When we are very skillful in using reflective listening, we can actually help others identify how they feel and what they think, just by interpreting and reflecting what they've said.When questions are truly open, we don't know what we will hear next or where things might go in the conversation, and that is OK! In asking open-ended questions, we are demonstrating to others that we value their story and their perspective — not imparting our own judgment or opinions on their experience. Open-ended questions are an invitation for others to share what's on their mind, allowing us to see things from their point of view and catch a glimpse of their beliefs, values, and strengths.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: Elizabeth Morrison ConsultingRsourced, Morrison's curated collection of human-centered resourcesEmpathic Communication in Phone and Video VisitsWhat Exactly Is Motivational Interviewing?Webinar: Empathic Communication in Virtual Practice© 2021 Center for Care Innovations.

Before the coronavirus struck, a Los Angeles-based healthy fast-food chain called Everytable had just received grant funding to roll out its social equity franchise program. During the pandemic, it pivoted from a retail model built on storefronts and meal subscriptions toward a mobile emergency response team to tackle food insecurity. It quickly became a lifeline for city residents and isolated people in need.In fact, working with the City of Los Angeles Department of Aging, Santa Monica College, and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, Everytable distributed more than 3 million emergency meals to homeless shelters, senior living centers, homebound elders, and hungry college students and families who didn't always know where their next meal was coming from. We sat down with Sam Polk, the co-founder of Everytable, to discuss good eats, health care partnerships, and more.Here's where you can learn more about the people, places, and ideas in this episode: How Everytable Transformed Food Justice in LA Sam Polk, co-founder and chief executive officer of Everytable© 2021 Center for Care Innovations.

While Medicaid expansion dominates North Carolina’s health care headlines, other topics deserve attention, too. Jordan Roberts, John Locke Foundation health care policy analyst, focuses on two health care innovations. First, he explains how Medibid connects patients and doctors through online auctions. Second, he discusses the planned merger of Aetna and CVS and the potential impact on retail health care. Advocates of a Convention of States made their pitch again this year in North Carolina. Mark Meckler, president and founder of the Convention of States project, enlisted public support for the idea from conservative commentator and former Florida congressman Allen West. Meckler and West explain how a convention could help rein in an unaccountable federal government. They also rebut concerns from critics who believe a runaway convention could lead to unintended negative consequences. Most public school students advance from grade to grade with their same-age peers. But not all of them are ready for the academic challenges linked to the next grade level. That’s why some state lawmakers are pushing for study of a competency-based education system. You’ll hear details of their plan. Some lawmakers are working again this year to scale back or even eliminate North Carolina’s certificate-of-need restrictions on new medical facilities and major medical equipment. They explained their goals during a recent news conference. They also cited research that questions the value of CON restrictions in states that employ them. Fourteen years after the infamous U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London, North Carolina still has taken no steps to boost protection for residents against eminent domain abuse. Jon Guze, John Locke Foundation director of legal studies, explains why state policymakers should address the issue. He says the N.C. House has approved seven different eminent domain reform bills since Kelo. The Senate has yet to address any of them.

When the promises of workplace wellness programs and population health analysis don't live up to expectations, lack of trust can stifle growth for the entire sector.

Show Notes: 1:35 – What is the Value Institute? – Review of outcome measures 5:50 – Meaningful outcome measures – Simple questions with big predictions 7:12 – The holistic approach to measuring the health of a population and how third parties work with employers. 9:50 – Direct vs. indirect measures of health in a population: challenges and expectations for employers 10:45 – Data protection, 3rd party vendors, neutral middle man, confidentiality 13:10 – Validation Institute origin story 14:45 – First customers and impact in the payer marketplace 17:07 – Helping data shine over marketing 18:03 – Breaking through the “conventional wisdom”, understanding clinical guidelines vs wellness guidelines 19:24 – Backing up health screens and fitbit challenges with real data: Accreditation vs. Validation 22:44 – Biggest opportunities in validating health claims – Standard Bearer: Morning Star, “Show me the CarFax” 24:10 – Employers need to watch out for intuitive and easy to track measurements with no objective, scientific validity 26:46 – Opportunities for health systems – financial risk contracting forces health systems to be more diligent and weary (‘measure sensitive') than employers, should be doing their own analysis about what works, 3rd party can give feedback towards “getting to no” and alternative measures that would be more effective 29:25 – Health Value Awards 31:17 – Most exciting new idea – Integrated Musculoskeletal Care, link of overview of contestants 33:11 – World Healthcare Congress About Linda Riddell Linda K.
