Resource Overview

Social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook, SnapChat, and the next greatest thing to come, provide great opportunities for Health Centers to better connect with their clients and help them better navigate their health system. Unfortunately, this means that Health Center leadership, staff and IT support also need to keep up with best practices, privacy and security mitigation, and general abilities in leveraging social media and their social network.

The following resources provide articles, guidelines, and helpful use cases to better support health centers in managing social media efforts.

Sensitive Information and the Electronic Patient Record

HITEQ Center, June 2023

Molly Rafferty 0 6030

With nearly 100% of community health centers utilizing electronic health records (EHR) to care for patients, focus has pivoted from implementation and new workflow development to enhancement in order to drive value and reflect patient needs and population trends. EHR technology presents potential opportunities and significant constraints. Providers frequently document and share potentially sensitive information in the EHR, such as risk for intimate partner violence (IPV), consistent offers of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), or patient sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). Capturing such information can be immensely helpful in providing care tailored to individuals’ needs, but additionally challenges teams to develop workflows that keep the data private rather than risk harm to patients through improper or unintended disclosure.

Health IT Optimization for Effective PrEP Services

HITEQ Center, June 2023

Molly Rafferty 0 5698

Health centers are increasingly interested in embedding oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) programs into primary care, which calls for the embedding of PrEP care processes into electronic health record (EHR) systems. Health centers have had success with automation in HIV testing, and are looking to apply automated algorithms, order sets, and templates to the development of PrEP programs. This resource outlines EHR and health information technology (IT) configurations and tools that support PrEP care processes and provides examples of successful implementation from health centers and primary care settings.

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), and Other HIV Prevention Strategies: Billing and Coding Guide

Developed by NASTAD, updated in 2023

HITEQ Center 0 16349

The goal of this guide is to provide up-to-date information and best practices for coding, billing, and denial resolution for PrEP and PEP services. Health department staff are encouraged to share this resource with grantees, community partners, and other health care providers billing for HIV prevention services.
