During this HRSA-sponsored webinar, a subject matter expert reviewed updates to the Guidelines and new content, including new health promotion themes, visit screening recommendations, anticipatory guidance, and more. She discussed how to efficiently and effectively integrate these new recommendations into your health center’s work and answered questions about the BFNC and Bright Futures Guidelines, 4th Edition.

Adequate and reliable transportation services are fundamental to healthy patients and communities. Lack of transportation can have a significant impact on one’s health and on the ability to make healthy lifestyle choices, such as regular physical activity, access to healthcare, ability to purchase healthy foods, and ability to maintain social connections. Further, a lack of transportation is the leading cause of patient no-shows for medical appointments, leading to delayed care, increased emergency room visits, increased costs for patients, and disruption in patient care and provider-patient relationships. The problem is widespread. The AHA reports that each year 3.6 million people do not obtain medical care due to transportation issues. Fortunately, the non-emergency medical transportation industry is going through a transformative period. Listen to this group of exciting innovators and disruptors who are creating powerful technology-based solutions to move from screening for transportation needs to solving for them.

This webinar shared evidence-based models that provide a framework for health centers to optimize the team in primary care. Experts described how utilization of extended team members and technology can reduce gaps in care for prediabetics and diabetics. With a focus on lifestyle and community based projects, this webinar highlighted the strategies and resources to improve the health and behaviors of patients at risk for diabetes and manage uncontrolled diabetes. Through early detection and providing diabetes management through a team-based care, health centers can help patients’ live long, healthy lives.

Capital Link has published this overview of predictive analytics for community health centers.

Developed and made available by Capital Link and the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), this overview provides health centers with a definition of predictive analytics, its history and development, the data and resources needed to predict a patient’s future behavior, and how health centers can begin utilizing it. It also includes specific examples of organizations that have successfully used predictive analytics. This study was supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration. 

As we kick off the new year, we’ll hear from a few community-based organizations that are working to address food insecurity in Los Angeles. They will discuss how they have had to pivot due to the coronavirus pandemic, how they envision their work changing in 2021, and what opportunities exist for health clinics and CBO’s to collaborative to address food insecurity in a post-COVID world.

We hope hearing lessons learned and considerations about what comes next from a CBO perspective will help you think about how best to move your MCU work forward, and what opportunities may exist to build or strengthen partnerships to address social needs. Leveraging our analogous example mindsets, teams will be able to gather inspiration and insights that can be applied to social needs even beyond food security.

This webinar is open to all MCU participants but not required for the whole team. We encourage participation from team members or organizational staff that are involved in the planning and implementation of social needs strategies. This webinar is also open to the general public and we invite you to pass this webinar opportunity to others in your network.
