I am constantly amazed how the collection of people who make up Housecall Providers have such an outsized impact on our world. When people tell you an organization is "mission driven", it's worth discovering what they mean by that. And, if what they mean is that they truly do belong to a mission driven organization, and you support that mission, then support that organization. As someone who coordinates with donors and engaged community based organizations, I can tell you with solid assurance that community support energizes truly mission driven work. The value of volunteering, donating, and/or working with visionary organizations goes far beyond the individual connections of the act. It's not that any one organization is going to save the world. It's that supporting organizations that are actively making an impact and are authentically mission driven is a habit that collectively can change the world for the better.
We had a wonderful time at The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) - Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. this week. It was inspiring to connect with so many national changemakers focused on advancing person-centered care and improving quality of life for people living with serious illness and their caregivers. Through policy advocacy, care innovation, patient empowerment, and clinical skill building, we can improve health equity and quality care for all patients and their caregivers. #CTAC #CAPC #LeadershipSummit #Hospice #PalliativeCare #AdvancedIllnessCare #PersonCenteredCare #SeriousIllness #Healthcare #HealthcareAdvocasy #HealthEquity #Innovation #ClinicalSkill #QualityCare #PatientEmpowerment #Caregivers #HousecallProviders #CareOregon #OregonHealthcare

Today kicks off National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization's National Hospice and Palliative Care Month (HAPCM). This a time for us to honor staff and volunteers who have dedicated their lives to serving those who are most vulnerable. While #HAPCM highlights #hospice and palliative care's importance briefly, caregivers are working year-round. By having #CourageousConversations, we can educate our communities and bring awareness to the compassionate, important work being done: https://okt.to/Hm5bdx

If there is one thing we have learned from our years of supporting our clients, it's that no two care plans are the same. Everyone needs a different level of support and that is why we focus on a person-centred approach.

Dear MyCare Supporters, Community Health Centers, like MyCare are now in a finite window until January 19th to secure continual health center funding, otherwise the result will likely be flat funding through nearly all of 2024 (which is equivalent to a 9.3% decrease when accounting for inflation). We need to leverage this window to achieve a long-term extension and increase in health center funding and time is of the essence! Community health centers have faced moments like this many times throughout our history, and it has been people like you stepping up to be an advocate that has made a difference. Our nation's health centers face a critical funding crisis, and we need your expertise and passion to make a difference. With our funding set to expire on January 19, 2024, we are at a pivotal moment. Now is the time to join forces with us and other community health centers to advocate for bipartisan legislation to extend and increase funding for health centers and primary care workforce programs. We encourage you to use this link https://lnkd.in/djEApvDc to easily reach out to your Senators/Representatives and amplify our collective voice. Your advocacy can shape the future of healthcare for millions. Let's act together! #HealthcareAdvocacy #FederalFunding #CommunityHealth #BipartisanAction #MPCA #NACHC #TrustYourCaretoMyCare

Community member engagement has become an important element of Medicaid program and policy design in recent years, especially as a means of promoting health equity. New rules from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will further accelerate community engagement efforts across the nation. This new resource center, developed by the Center for Health Care Strategies, offers practical tools and guidance to help Medicaid stakeholders engage community members in policy and program design. It features best practices, as well as examples of successful community engagement strategies — from informal channels to structured approaches like community advisory committees. https://bit.ly/4c7DVrF Anna Spencer, MPH, Courtney Shahan Roman

New findings on effects of IMPaCT Care CHWs from Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) show significant impacts on hospitalizations and primary care engagement. We’ve known for a long time that structured CHW interventions improve equity and drive value. Now, we know that they can do it at scale. Kudos to Ballad Health for a statistically significant 29% lower rate of admissions, demonstrating the power of CHWs to move the needle in rural areas. CHW programs aren’t just a community benefit; they’re an important population health strategy.
At IMPaCT, one of our values is to “learn, constantly.” That’s why we conducted three RCTs of our structured Community Health Worker intervention, and it’s why we participated in a PCORI-funded implementation evaluation of our structured CHW program at five sites across the country. Drumroll please! The findings - https://lnkd.in/gWCQ3cGi - demonstrate that we can achieve RCT-level results at scale. Three sites demonstrated high fidelity and achieved significant reductions in utilization, and all are continuing and expanding their programs. At Ballad Health, an integrated community health improvement organization serving 29 counties of the Appalachian Highlands, patients who received IMPaCT had 29% fewer hospital stays compared with similar patients who didn’t receive IMPaCT. These impacts illustrate the transformative power of community health workers in a variety of settings. We are thrilled to work with more than 50 partners in 20 states to deliver results like these at scale. Medicare coverage of CHW services represents important progress in ensuring that CHW services are accessible and sustainable, but there is more work to be done. We appreciate the work Senator Casey has done to advance access to CHW services through the CHW Access Act, and we hope to see more state Medicaid agencies taking action to ensure that evidence-based CHW services are available to the communities that need them most.

A patient is referred to hospice care when a doctor’s prognosis is six months or less and you might think that means that after 6 months care ends. The reality is that hospice care can continue as long as the need for hospice care remains. After the initial 6 month period, patient cases are reevaluated and as long as the patient still needs care, Community Hospice & Health Services will be there for you and your loved ones. #HospiceCare #EndOfLifeCare #PalliativeCare #HospiceSupport #HospiceServices #PatientCare #CaregiverSupport #CommunityHospice #QualityOfLife

World Hospice and Palliative Care Day 2023 (WHPCD) is a unified day of action to advocate for the support of people with serious health related suffering, including those at the end-of-life, caregivers and their families, and to support the presence of hospice and palliative care programs around the world. Over 56.8 million people are estimated to require palliative care every year including 31.1 million prior to and 25.7 million near the end of life. 67% are adults over 50 years old and at least 7% are children. The burden of severe illness and health-related suffering, and the need for palliative care, are immense. Yet palliative care is still not accessible to most people in need, especially in low and middle-income communities. This issue is especially important to Tenacity after completing our work with Rebecca Swain-Eng, MS, CAE of SEA Healthcare and the Maryland Department of Healthcare - Maryland Health Care Commission where we implemented and analyzed a palliative care study surveying over 300+ palliative care programs to make recommendations for improved access to quality services for all. #WHPCD2023 #PalliativeCareDay #HealthCareEquity #PalliativeCareAwareness #PalliativeCareResearch #Partnership
