HITEQ Resources & Events

Founded in 1982, WPHCA supports federally qualified community health centers in their efforts to provide culturally appropriate, effective health care for underserved people - regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. WPHCA provides members with training, technical assistance and services to Health Center staff so they can provide high quality health care to patients. WPHCA analyzes and develops policy positions to support Health Centers and the patients they care for, and advocates on their behalf. WPHCA works to reduce health care disparities by documenting access needs and guiding communities through the competitive process to establish Health Centers throughout Wisconsin.

This resource will equip health center stakeholders with the understanding of how standardized social determinants of health (SDoH) data can be used and which ICD 10 Z codes can be used to document a patient's social needs, and are therefore pertinent to a standardized SDoH data set.

This 2017 webinar explored the history and recent changes of 42 CFR Part 2, reviewed common definitions, and how the changes may affect integrated medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) programs, and discussion on LifeLong Medical Care’s experience.

Data dashboards help communicate information to your health center staff, clinicians and partners. However the development process can be daunting. Where do I start? Who is part of the process? What tools should I use? Many people start by choosing the tool, but before identifying the tool, it is helpful to think through the users and the design process. This primer walks you through steps to dashboard design and how to choose the right dashboard tool.

Measuring return on investment (ROI) and the value of population health management is an emerging concern for health centers.  Calculating ROI on HIT investment is complex, and few health centers have experience in this endeavor.  The definition of value varies by type and size of provider, patient population, and other factors, and may be unique to an organization.  This white paper discusses principles and approaches to measure the value proposition for population health management for health centers.  Although few examples exist, we present the results of one health center’s measurement of the value of PHM.
