Emerging Roles of Chaplains in Population Health, with Amy Greene & Emily Viverette.

April 20, 2017. Hear the conversation HERE.

Join Amy Greene and Emily Viverette for this conversation, hosted by Teresa Cutts, about the new roles chaplains are forging in connecting faith and health in their communities. They will explore how chaplaincy — and the core competence of reflective practice — is relevant to this new era of population health.

Every Stakeholder Health hospital has board certified chaplains, and most have Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs of some scale. And now almost every single one is adding population health staff and resources. How are those traditional commitments aligned with, or even connected with, each other?

Designing “Outside In” Health IT Measurement Frameworks

December 18, 2014.  View the presentation slides here.

Is it possible the IT world doesn’t know what the new health system will need to accelerate and improve the implementation of the ensemble of practices identified through Stakeholder Health? On December 18, 2014, Stakeholder Health convened a Forum that highlighted the latest IT discussions of the Stakeholder Health working group.  These discussions focused on developing a set of specifications for technology that can actualize the vision of Stakeholder Health—an “outside in” IT measurement framework design that will support the person’s journey of health as he/she touches the hospital or ambulatory care settings versus the usual ”inside the hospital” episodic tracking tied to reimbursement structures. The presentation and discussion was led by Dora Barilla, Loma Linda University Health and Eileen Barsi, Dignity Health.

Guest presenter Melissa Eng-Wong, Program Associate at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, also briefed the Stakeholder Health community on Data for Health, a new initiative that seeks to discern community priorities for using Health IT to build a culture of health.

 

Trauma’s Toll on Health:  A Community-wide Response  

October 2014.  Due to technical difficulties, the original recording is not available.  However, Dr. DeMont has graciously re-rerecorded the presentation and you can view it here:  DeMont – Trauma’s Toll on Health

When Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Indiana looked deeply into the results of their Community Health Needs Assessment they witnessed a powerful connection between adverse childhood experiences and longer-term health problems. In the data, it was apparent that the more people experienced trauma when they were young, the more likely they were to face long-term health effects. That correlation provided the impetus for an innovative approach to offering a chance at better long-term health to thousands of underserved residents. Margo DeMont, PhD, Executive Director of Community Health Enhancement, shared Memorial Hospitals’ efforts, originally pioneered by Drs. Vincent Felliti and Rob Anda of Kaiser Permanente and Drs. Bruce Perry and Jeffrey Brenner, to build a trauma-informed community through several innovative programs, including the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acute Trauma Incident Processing (ATIP) and Memorial BrainWorks. These efforts have helped expand the reach of services to underserved populations and identify the barriers at every age to wellbeing.

 

CommunityRx: Connecting Health Care to Self-Care

September 2014.  Listen to the audio of the presentation here and view the presentation slides here.

CommunityRx is an innovative program that connects patients in doctors’ offices and clinics with health and self-care resources in Chicago’s South Side neighborhood. It is funded by a 2012 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Health Care Innovation Award. Learn more about their e-prescribing technology embedded into the electronic medical record systems and seamlessly integrated into the normal clinical workflow. At the point-of-care, health care providers can print out a “HealtheRx” for patients, a customized list of health and wellness resources in their community and contact information for a special type of community health worker, the Community Health Information Specialist (CHIS) who can help the patient to navigate these resources. The places listed on the HealtheRx are generated via the MAPSCorps program, which trains and employs local high school students to map businesses and organizations block-by-block with a feet-on-the-street methodology.

The South Side Health and Vitality Studies, in partnership with Chicago Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center (CHITREC) and the Alliance of Chicago Community Health Services, developed the system, which includes a continuously updated electronic database of community health and wellness resources that is linked to the electronic health records at 19 clinical sites.

Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau, MD, MA, Director of the South Side Health and Vitality Studies (SSHVS) at the University of Chicago Urban Health Initiative, shared her experience implementing CommunityRx and the impact the program has had on the communities thus far.
