Earlier this month, we released a game-changing update to our Health Equity Engine: automated Gaps-in-Care Journeys. This innovation allows safety-net organizations to segment patients directly within their EHRs and enroll those patients into automated messaging to close gaps in care. Read more about how we're advancing the ways that FQHCs, FCCs, and Tribal Health Organizations drive clinical outcomes for their populations.

CareMessage is looking for a senior-level Director of People with experience and skills to build and own the people and HR discipline at CareMessage. This is an opportunity to leverage your expertise to create and own processes that will set our organization up for success in charting the charting the course for the employee journey at CareMessage, owning the benefits and trainings that help us retain and grow our talent, and partnering with the executive team to build upon, refine, and execute our DEIB-first people practices. https://lnkd.in/ggCRqg7b

This week, we made a big announcement that will change the way safety-net organizations drive clinical outcomes for their patients and promote health equity: Automated Gaps-in-Care Journeys. Our initial release focuses on diabetes, the seventh leading cause of death in the US and a huge concern for FQHCs across the country. Not only is addressing diabetes a critical UDS measure, FQHC patients in particular are disproportionately affected by diabetes: 14% of the FQHC population is diagnosed with diabetes, compared to?11.6% of the general US population?and nearly 30% of FQHC patients have uncontrolled diabetes. By integrating directly with EHRs, this new capability of our Health Equity Engine empowers staff to increase efficiency and connect patients with diabetes to the care and critical health information they need.

Looking back on the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) 2024 Community Health Institute & Expo and InnovationEx, I am always so impressed with how innovative, resilient and person-centric health centers are, and have always been. Last week in Atlanta, we hosted NACHC’s Innovation Advisory Council – a group of committed, mission-driven leaders from health centers, PCAs and HCCNs, who come together each quarter to discuss challenges and innovative solutions in the health center ecosystem. We are grateful to our co-chairs, Julia Liou and Faith Polkey MD, MPH, and to all our members. Last Friday, NACHC’s Council, together with the Center for Community Health Innovation, NACHC Select and many of our brilliant colleagues, hosted InnovationEx – a NACHC-members only event for over 150 health centers, PCAs and HCCNs, featuring a keynote by Adimika Arthur of HealthTech4Medicaid, a panel moderated by our CEO Kyu Rhee, MD, MPP on Advancing #TechQuity for our Nation with Janna Guinen from the HLTH Foundation and Tanisha D. Hill, PhD, MPH from the Digital Health for Equitable Health Alliance. We piloted a new workshop on the 5X’s of Health Center Innovation with Peter Shin, Amy Flowers and Camila Silva. Lastly, a new program was piloted called the #TechQuity Tank, where 4 amazing companies pitched their solutions to our panel of health center judges. Thank you Azara Healthcare and Jeff Brandes, CareMessage and Cecilia Corral, eMed and Ron Coursey, and Syntax Health and Rachael Jones, MPA, and to our judges Rashad A. Collins, Deborah Morrison, Julita Mir, MD, and to our colleagues Jason Bellamy and Camila Silva. The rest of the weekend was filled with many of NACHC’s amazing Partners of Choice on the main stage, at key meetings and other panels and sessions. My team hosted sessions with The Commonwealth Fund, the Georgia PCA, Capital Link, Mission Mobile Medical, Leon Lowenstein Foundation, Inc., CohnReznick LLP, Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers and more. Hosting Sesame Workshop thanks to Quest Diagnostics with Super Grover and the Sesame book give-a-way was a treat! We love seeing our NACHC Leader Sponsors in person. Thank you to Centene Corporation, CNECT, Forvis Mazars US, McKesson, Mission Mobile Medical, NextGen Healthcare, OCHIN, Inc. for your partnership. I want to thank my team, the Partnership, Development and Innovation team, for co-designing, leading and staffing so many things that made this conference so special, and for all that you do for NACHC and our health centers: Jason Patnosh, Camila Silva, Jed Barton, Feriel Pietersen Ricks, Carolyn Hane. And to my colleagues on the larger “Team NACHC” – congratulations on another impactful conference! ?#NachcEvents #ValueCHCs #CHCsInnovate
