There are two sides of referral management to handle – inbound and outbound. In light of the growing need to adopt a low-touch approach that taps into technology while also leveraging workforce skills, Altura Centers for Health sought to make the referral management process as self-sustaining and automated as possible. To better tackle their large volume of referrals, they’ve begun to implement a new referral system that manages most of the inputs, thereby freeing up more staff from the inbound referral processes. We hear from Arnie Reynoso, chief information officer at Altura Centers for Health, as he talks about their efforts to minimize the need for staff involvement in referral management, from referral to specialist review, scheduling, and ultimately, patient care.

What is equity-centered community design? This transformative concept focuses on centering the voices and decision-making power of individuals with lived experience, who Creative Reaction Lab refers to as “living experts.” It also calls on human-centered design experts and others to use their leverage, access, and influence to support and amplify community voices. In this session, CCI’s Chris Conley chats with Hilary Sedovic, a systems thinker and former learning & education director at Creative Reaction Lab. Sedovic, who calls herself a “redesigner for justice,” sheds light onto the key role that design allies have in empowering living experts. Creative Reaction Lab emphasizes building quality relationships, humility, and embracing a collective investment in community well-being in order to move towards greater equity and inclusivity in design. Learn how this type of civic engagement and the redesigning for justice movement can move us to reshape the narrative -- creating a just world through authentic collaboration and community-centered approaches in the design process.

Resolving care gaps requires more than simply introducing technological platforms and helping patients get familiar with digital processes. Despite the rise of video visits to help patients expand their access to numerous services, health centers are finding that a robust virtual care team experience may not necessarily be what all patients are looking for. This learning has helped Petaluma Health Center to focus more resources on patient navigation support as well as accommodations for in-person visits. The goal is not that every patient has a video visit, but that every patient gets the kind of visit that's most appropriate for them.

For many health centers and clinics, educating a diverse patient population about digital tracking tools to monitor blood pressure is a challenge. However, learning to adapt based on patient needs is vital to ensure both continuity of care and staff bandwidth. Asian Health Services (AHS) in Oakland, California, leverages health coaches and digital health advocates to support these evolving needs. They work closely with community members with varying levels of digital literacy as well as hypertension requiring different levels of management. For the care team, this allows them to move from a labor-intensive and sometimes inconsistent approach to hypertension, to the lighter-touch practice of remote blood pressure monitoring.
In our conversation with George Lee, he shares Asian Health Services' multi-phase journey in patient education for remote care and where they've had to pivot along the way in order to better integrate IT into their existing operations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been an emerging hot topic over the last several months with the rise of Open AI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s integration of ChatGPT technology into its Bing search engine, and Google’s announcement of its own chatbot, known as Bard. And while there are concerns about the more “general AI” technologies built to improve neural network capabilities so they are comparable to those of humans, health care systems are able to expand their services by leveraging the more familiar “narrow” or single-task AI tools, such as virtual chat assistance. Deploying this kind of AI technology can lead to an enhanced self-service experience for patients.
We welcome Matt White, Director of Innovation at Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS), who shares how they’ve begun to thoughtfully integrate AI technology in order to better understand their patient engagement, with the ultimate aim to provide a consistent experience across all digital channels.

Health Pilots returns in 2023 and we’re kicking off this year with an “in-case-you-missed-it” episode from 2022, featuring one of our top, most popular episodes in this "Best of Health Pilots." Enjoy!
Scheduling appointments is one of the biggest challenges facing community health centers. Patients often lose those self-addressed postcard reminders, and manually calling patients to book a recall appointment is a major slog for clinic staff. The flurry of activity around COVID-19 tests and vaccines has only compounded that problem, as patients encounter jammed phone lines and long wait times. But starting in 2021, Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center began piloting an automated patient recall system — one that offers easier, more efficient outreach, as well as the personalized text message nudge patients need.

Video visits – a component of telehealth, hold both great promise and great responsibility. For health system leaders, it's an opportunity to deliver high quality care to more people. At the same time, if we're not intentional about implementing this service, we risk exacerbating the existing health disparities in our communities. With us for this episode are Jason Cunningham of West County Health Centers (WCHC) and Jeffrey Glenn of Neighborhood Healthcare. Both have successfully implemented telehealth video at their respective organizations through the strategy of aligning their leadership and providers to make video visits a priority.

Assessing patients on a one-to-one basis for social determinants of health (SDOH) is an important, yet often high-touch process conducted by health center staff. So what might a lower touch approach to these vital screenings look like? Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC) explored innovative solutions to assess the specific needs of its 80,000+ patients throughout Los Angeles County.
Today we hear from Debra Rosen and Alejandra Mata of NEVHC about their exciting and ongoing journey in digitizing the patient screening process. They share how integrating different tools on a familiar platform can better identify specific patient population needs. It also allows them to offer pertinent community resources more widely, while improving their quality of service at the point of care.

Rolling out a new phone system can be a daunting undertaking for health centers, especially because it involves call center personnel as well as office managers, medical assistants, and IT staff. During the pandemic, this pivot was especially important to support staff who found themselves shifting to remote work or bouncing between their home and office workstation. West County Health Centers made this leap, switching from traditional phone hardware and a reliance on telecom engineers to internet-based phones and a cloud-based system. Its leaders confirm it was a challenging endeavor, but one that was well worth it in the long run.
