How the Community Health Worker Program Gave New Hope to One Student
|
|
|
"After working at Richmond University Medical Center for over 25 years, my position as a senior tech was eliminated. Although it was a difficult time in my life, I knew that the job elimination would also provide me a second chance at finding a rewarding career where I could make an impact on the Staten Island community. I soon found an opening in the West Brighton Clinic Behavioral Health Department as a Community Health Worker. In order to attain the skills and knowledge needed to perform in the role, I enrolled in CHW training at the College of Staten Island with the financial support of Staten Island Performing Provider System. Now that I have completed the [CHW] program, I feel I am better prepared to help and contribute what I have learned in the program about DSRIP, motivational speaking, chronic illness such as diabetes, hypertension, addiction, and a variety of other topics, including the critical cultured shift to patient- centered services. As health policy, research and practice are becoming increasingly focused on improving the health of populations and addressing social determinants of health, Community Health Workers may be just what the doctor ordered."

SI CARES at Project Hospitality
SI CARES Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso, from Project Hospitality, enrolled Mr. JH in May 2018. Upon doing an intake and assessment, the Health Coach determined that Mr. JH was in need of assistance to help him get to a doctor. During the relationship built between Mr. JH and Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso, the client informed his Health Coach that he had not been to a physician in years. Mr. JH explained that going to a doctor was a fearful experience and as a result he would avoid doctor's visits altogether. Mr. JH is aware of his diagnosis of hepatitis, but did not follow through to get the appropriate care due to his own fear of doctors. Mr. JH's biggest concern was fear of bad news related to his health.
Through Mr. JH's relationship with Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso he started to address those fears and ultimately became comfortable with the idea of going to a doctor. As part of the Care Plan, Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso worked with the client to understand where he would like to go to be seen by a physician along with the qualities he would like in a physician. Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso also gave Mr. JH guidance and support about the importance of managing his own health care.
From the time Mr. JH was enrolled to when he finally went to the doctor, there was a two to three week gap. During that time, Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso worked to address any insecurity around health care access and empowered the client to manage his own health care. During the process, Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso followed up with the client to ensure all scheduled appointments were kept. Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso provided Mr. JH with additional support in order for the client to feel comfortable during the visit. Health Coach Oluwakemi Adeoso also addressed this gap in care by following up regularly leading up to the doctor's appointment in order to make sure it would be attended. As a result of her intervention, Mr. JH is now better managing his diagnosis and regularly taking the medications he needs.

Value Based Payment Corner
|
|
Staten Island PPS launched its
Value Based Payment Resource Center earlier this year. This resource is hosted on the SI PPS website and supports our overall initiative to educate and prepare the SI PPS Partner Network for the transition from "fee-for-service" to "value based payments," including the SI PPS VBP Education Program.
The third in-person session of the SI PPS VBP Education Program - VBP Data Analytics - took place at the SI PPS PAC Meeting on June 26th and covered the keys to success for VBP data analytics. We have added a recording of the presentation given by Jason Ganns, the Director of Bureau of Performance Management and Quality Improvement at the NYS DOH, to our VBP Resource Center,
found here, along with the supporting document distributed to attendees. We have also added the link to VBP University from the NYS DOH, which is designed to be an academic resource to raise awareness, knowledge, and expertise in the move to VBP.
Further content will be posted as our curriculum continues to roll out in 2018.
