Level: Intermediate.
BPHC Objective: Advancing Health Equity.
Primary Target Audience: Clinicians
Description: Understanding the complexities of specialty-care coordination processes and access helps determine the need for comprehensive and uninterrupted access to quality health care for vulnerable populations. Guaranteed access to primary care at CHCs has not translated into improved access to specialty care. It is critical that effective policies be pursued to address the barriers and minimize interruptions in care, and to ensure continuity of care for all patients needing specialty care. Clinicians and case managers working with MSAWs and their families have long struggled to find access to quality specialty care for a variety of conditions and illnesses. Through Health Network and the sister program the Specialty Care Access Network (SCAN), MCN has extensive experience in securing specialty care for some of the most challenging cases among migrants and MSAWs. This learning collaborative will feature specialty faculty who are a part of SCAN as well as case managers from Health Network. The LC will focus on practical strategies for health centers to pursue in developing long term networks and partnerships for specialty care.

BPHC Objective: Access to Comprehensive Care.
Primary Target Audience: Clinicians, Enabling Staff, Outreach Staff, PCAs
Description: Previous research has indicated that individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities often struggle to access the resources and care necessary to live independent and healthy lives. Scholarship has also indicated that providers and advocates of these individuals often face frustration and burnout when they are unable to provide patients with the support they need. In the first session of this 4-part learning collaborative, join Dr. Kevin Lombardi MD MPH and the NCHPH research and clinical quality team as they facilitate a set of interdisciplinary and collective sessions designed to engage with the latest data, clinical/social guidance as well as recommendations from leading providers, advocates and activists on how to maximally support individuals with disabilities. In the second session of NCHPH's "Health for All" learning collaborative, we present the unique challenges faced by those who provide support and care for individuals with disabilities and engage with scholarship and each-other to identify strategies to be more effective, balanced and comprehensive caregivers while promoting our own fulfillment and mental health. In the third session of NCHPH's "Health for All" learning collaborative, we will discuss and collectively examine the promising practices, clinical and non-clinical interventions that have been shown to lead to improved outcomes in patients with disabilities. In the final session of NCHPH's "Health For All" learning collaborative, we will look with more detail into the material covered during our first three sessions and engage with case-studies designed to illicit and push our understanding of the material.

Description: Cultural humility is an important step toward providing quality care tailored to health center patients, but it does not need to be the final step. Incorporating trauma-informed principles, providing space for patients to take an active role in decision-making and care, and looking for opportunities to learn more about a patient’s specific culture needs leads to positive patient encounters, increased patient satisfaction, and positive health outcomes. The Cultural Safety model is a means toward incorporating these ideals. In the Spring of 2024, the National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC) will facilitate a Learning Collaborative for Primary Care Associations (PCAs) and health centers to explore the Cultural Safety model and develop concrete steps toward training and implementing the model in their community context. By the end of the Learning Collaborative, all participants will have contributed to a workbook/guide to support the development of cultural safety training across their community. Following finalization of the guide, the group will have the opportunity to come together to develop a training curriculum tailored to their community. The group will also have opportunities to demonstrate the implementation of these practices and their success.

Learning Collaborative on Implementing and Responding to Staff Satisfaction Surveys
Organization: Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU)’s Star Center.
Level: Introductory.
BPHC Objective: Health Workforce Wellbeing Response.
Primary Target Audience: Administrative Staff
Description: Addressing healthcare worker well-being and burnout is critical to maintaining a healthy workforce and ensuring clinical quality, patient care, and safety. The COVID-19 pandemic stressed the healthcare workforce to unprecedented levels that will require a period of recovery. Increasing provider satisfaction and well-being has become a national priority, which is demonstrated by HRSA’s national implementation of the workforce satisfaction and well-being survey. Health centers are eager to improve clinical and non-clinical staff satisfaction and well-being as evidenced by the National Training and Technical Assistance Survey. The STAR² Center will host a learning collaborative to support health centers in implementing and responding to staff satisfaction surveys. This learning collaborative will guide them through the process of implementing and responding to staff satisfaction surveys in an in-depth way, with considerations for HRSA’s national workforce satisfaction and well-being survey.
Timeframe: Winter 2023
Register: TBD
