I would argue that ensuring Community Health Workers and other staff with expertise (and time) related to addressing health-related social issues are critical to care coordination efforts. So often it is not anything clinical impacting length of stay, readmissions, or avoidable ED utilization. #valuebasedcare #caremanagement #carecoordination #SDoH #HRSN

Fostering relationships with specialists, organizations, and people who refer patients to your health center is a great way to increase the number of new patients you see. Here are some excellent referral sources to whom you can start educating about your services, reciprocate the referral, and show your appreciation regularly. ?? Specialty providers: Like primary care providers, dental and behavioral health providers refer to specialists; specialists can also refer people to your providers. Run a report from your EHR to see who is referring patients to you and send them a token of your appreciation. Or, see who is not currently referring patients to you and ask to give their staff a presentation on the health center's services. ?? Church leaders: Church leaders often try to find healthcare services for their members. Bring them lunch and tell them about your services and how you serve people in their communities. ?? Human service organizations: Ask to be included on the staff meeting agenda at your local domestic violence shelter, public housing authority, job service, and transitional living facilities, and tell them about your services. Of course, stand behind your word anytime you promote your services to people who are referring you. If you promise they can be seen within a week, ensure that is true. If you tell them you can see new patients, ensure you have enough providers. Want to learn all my proven strategies for attracting 1,000 new patients to your health center year after year?

As an internist, I often encounter individuals navigating the challenges of the 'sandwich generation.' This term refers to adults who find themselves caring for both aging parents and their own children simultaneously. It's a complex role that can bring about various stressors and responsibilities. From managing healthcare needs to balancing financial concerns, the sandwich generation faces unique pressures. Through my experience, I've witnessed the importance of seeking support, prioritizing self-care, and exploring resources available to alleviate some of these burdens. If you find yourself in this situation, know that you're not alone, and seeking guidance from healthcare professionals and support networks can make a significant difference #holistichealthcare #doctorpatientbond #doctor #healthcareprovider #patientcenteredcare #healthadvocate #conciergedoctor

Reflecting on Health Equity in Emergency Medical Services Today, I had the privilege of hearing Jamie Kennel, PhD, MAS, Paramedic speak about the critical importance of health equity in our field. His insights profoundly impacted me, reminding us that in emergency medical services, we have a responsibility to ensure our care reflects the diverse needs of our community. As we strive to improve our appreciation of health equity, it's clear that we can do better. Our community depends on us to sharpen our skills and enhance our understanding of these vital issues. Call to Action: How is your agency working to ensure that the care you provide meets the needs of all citizens? Let's share our strategies and learn from one another! #HealthEquity #EmergencyMedicalServices #CommunityCare #ContinuousImprovement

Preparing for Advance Care Planning puts a lot on patients. It requires understanding both ACP and your medical situation, advocating for yourself, and trusting the health care system to help. What if we prepared communities instead? Community health workers can help, building bridges between patients, families, communities, and health systems to help everyone prepare for advance care planning. Faculty Lead Erik Fromme discusses how in JAMA Oncology: https://lnkd.in/ewYZ2Z6D

Great investigative research by Bill Finerfrock (Movement is Life Board Member) on how methodology to determine medically underserved areas in America has not been updated in 30 (yes, thirty) years and why this matters! "If the federal government revised the HPSA/MUA/MUP methodologies to include the primary care workforce available in 2024, thousands of communities currently designated as underserved would see their shortage area classification removed." We absolutely have medically underserved areas that need support---we should have a process which accurately identifies them! "The failure to update the metrics used to determine eligibility for these programs and the underlying methodology threaten the effectiveness and efficiency of increasing access to primary care in shortage areas." https://lnkd.in/eReeX74r

After being in crisis, a peer support team member reached out to our EAP provider to connect me with a clinician. Two weeks later, and after some tears from the provider, I was told, “I can’t help you.” The term "culturally competent provider" is a buzzword in the first responder community. But what does it really mean? Evaluating someone as a “culturally competent provider” is too subjective, if you ask me. When I hear people outside the first responder community claim they have culturally competent providers, I see a ?? Given this subjectivity, first responders should be the ones vetting clinicians. So, I ask the following question: how does your department vet clinicians?
