Meet Tamara, a clinical systems and special projects senior manager on our Care Management team. After recognizing the impact she could make beyond direct service as a social worker, she switched gears and began focusing on our care management clinical systems. “Embracing this change allowed me to use my skills and experiences in new ways, contributing to our organization's mission of improving health care outcomes.” Tamara is a great example of someone dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our members and finding the most impactful way to do so. #TeamAlignment

🔒 Genuine concern for patient privacy. Agreeing on data sharing is one thing; feeling comfortable sharing sensitive data outside your organization is another. There is real vulnerability here for care providers. How does your organization address these concerns? #PatientPrivacy #DataSecurity #Healthcare #SocialCare
It's another Coffee & Contracts Tuesday!☕🍪 Here are this weeks 5 highlights from the breakout room I moderated on the intersection of #datasecurity, #compliance, and #qualityimprovement from a Community Care Hub perspective. 1) ITS A WHOLE LOTTA LOTTA WORK to stand up the technology infrastructure, governance and oversight infrastructure, and audit-passing processes for community social care organizations that are required by contracts with #managedcareplans and other #healthcare entities. Often, it takes years. 2) MEASURES ARE DIFFERENT. Health Plans work in CPT codes and ICD-9 codes. Community social care providers deal in Social Needs Categories. 3) THE TOPIC EVOKES STRONG SENTIMENTS ALL AROUND. Participants used words like "paralyzing fear" to describe how some health plans feel when trying to navigate partnerships with CBOs, and "beast" (my personal favorite) to describe the complex set of requirements that CBOs must navigate to do business with health plans. 4) GENUINE CONCERN FOR PATIENT PRIVACY. It's one thing to sign a BAA and agree about data sharing standards. It's another thing to feel actually and personally comfortable about sending sensitive data (e.g. behavioral health data) about clients you care for outside your organization when you are not in control of it once it leaves and you very well may not have IT training. There is a patient/client care vulnerability there for care providers that is real. And, thank goodness for it! 5) SIZE MATTERS. Building up the capacity for interoperable data systems or access into existing health care systems is one thing if you have 10,000+ employees and a budget to match. But, for small and mid-sized community social care providers, the struggle can be real. Requirements set by large, mature well-funded organizations can be very hard for smaller organizations invited to collaborate in new ways that are different from their decades-long history. Thanks as always for the privilege of moderating on such an important topic and for the folks in my section that contributed your wisdom! Partnership to Align Social Care Eviset Camden Coalition

📊 Size matters. Building interoperable data systems is a challenge for small and mid-sized community social care providers compared to large, well-funded organizations. What strategies have you found effective in overcoming these hurdles? #DataIntegration #Healthcare #SocialCare #Interoperability

PACFA registered Counsellor, Narrative Practice, Trauma informed counselling, Storywork, Care, Mental Health, Program Development, living on the lands of the Quandamooka people
Reflecting on the need we have, as practitioners working in health care, to work together and support each other in the work we do. I just had a moment of connection with some fellow practitioners in the hub where I practice. We chatted about the ethical requirements of our caseloads and how this impacts us, and the ways we manage this. Spaces to share these things are important. #multidisciplinarypeersupport #teamwork #sharedgoals

Healthcare has always been centered around the patient (as it should be) but let’s not forget that the hospital is also a workplace. Our designers can take workplace strategies and apply them to healthcare environments to improve clinician wellbeing. Please let me know your thoughts on my blog piece below. #healthcare #healthcaredesign #burnout #caregiver #healthcareplanning
Clinician burnout is a complex, multifaceted problem, but as designers we have a unique opportunity to advocate for healthcare professionals and address burnout and staff retention through the built environment, writes ZGF's Michelle Kohlberg Sanders. https://bit.ly/3YqiluV

Great article by my colleague Michelle Kohlberg Sanders highlighting the critical issue of burnout and fatigue among healthcare professionals, with some excellent observations and recommendations for how designers can help improve it through the built environment. Worth it a read!

Improve finances to improve more and better delivery team members. This better practice environment will be more productive and will improve finances. The practice will also save on turnover, orientation, recruitmente, and retention costs and losses. The focus is specific to the only innovation that matters - the one on one innovation between delivery team member and patients. HRSA must tell CMS to let their people go - their community health centers. HRSA must tell CMS to stop voting their 1.4 trillion dollars against primary care, mental health, womens health, geriatrics, and care for most Americans most behind. CHCs are trying to make a differences where Americans most need care, but CMS defeats them. CMS also defeats any training intervention, including its own Graduate Medical Education dollars. Training interventions including pipelines and special training such as Teaching CHC residency programs, are only rearrangements of the deck chairs until there is substantial increases in funding - such as an annual upgrade to 400 billion. This is far beyond the 250 billion pittance for primary care which is actually even less due to more costs of delivery and more burdens placed on delivery team members. Our patients that are most vulnerable need our full attention. We should stand together and tell the cost cutting/obsessive measurement disorder/micromanagement from far away crowd that the only innovation that matters is one on one with each patient. And when there is better support, we can allow them some polishing activities - but after not until major funding changes.
HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care Associate Administrator Jim Macrae previewed a self-assessment toolkit at the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) 2024 P & I Forum as one that will help health centers "support discussion and planning for improvement; enhance their quality improvement efforts; guide their strategic planning," and more! #NACHCEvents
