A Look at Two Different Fall Season Traditions | | |
|  |
|
|
Origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, celebrated their new year on November 1.
This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred.
On the night of October 31
they celebrated Samhain when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

A tradition dating back more than 3,000 years is shaped by indigenous pagan celebrations coming together with the Roman Catholic Church's All Saints
Day.
Celebrated starting at midnight on November 1 through November 2. It is the one time a year when the living is believed to reunite with the dead
and mourning is exchanged for celebration.
Families create "ofrendas" for departed loved ones. These offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as departed souls hear loved ones' prayers, smell their food, and join in the celebration.

UPCOMING CIE SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT | |
|
We’re excited to announce the following enhancements
to the Partner Community platform! The system is expected to remain online and operational during the installation of the enhancements. Check out the Updates below!
| |
Dashboard Quick Filters
Now, you can select multiple Referral Status or Outcomes to view at a time. When you click Remove Filters, your custom filters will maintain your previous column selections, making it smoother to update your custom views.
| | | |
|
Referral Status Update
Under Referral Status, the "Evaluating" option has been replaced by "Active” to accommodate language used in various workflows.
Selecting “Active” indicates that you have determined the direct referral is appropriate and that your team is assigning it to someone from your team for further intake.
| | | |
Direct Referral Automation
Although partners make a great effort to respond to Direct Referrals promptly, there are times in which Referrals go unaddressed. To ensure referrals get updated within a reasonable time frame, a fail-safe has been implemented. Direct Referrals can remain in a “Pending” status for up to 90 days. After that point, the referral will automatically close out as “Declined-Referral Expired.” Similarly, if the Direct Referral is in a “Pending Client Action” status beyond 90 days, the Outcome will automatically update to “Did Not Receive Services” with “Referral Expired” as the reason.

Building A Successful Community Information Exchange
For SDOH Data
| |
|
HealthierHere, a non-profit collaborative based in King County, Washington and steward of the Connect2 Community Network, is highlighted in this EHR Intelligence article focused on the importance of shared governance. As a recent 211/CIE San Diego consultee, HealthierHere exemplifies the important distinction that a CIE is an ecosystem of multidisciplinary network partners, not just a technology solution. As HealthierHere COO Gena Morgan states in the article, “Equally important is the need to be locally owned and managed collaboratively by the community, not by one organization, platform, or group, similar to a public utility,” continuing on to state, “We see this as the need to be governed by and to serve the needs of the entire community, especially the needs of our community’s most vulnerable.”

Collaboratives In Action: CIE And Comprehensive Data Sharing To Create The Whole Picture | |
|
Based on San Diego’s local CIE development and evolution of data integration and interoperability capabilities, this presentation focuses on the role social services has played in key initial successes, driving use-cases, and data models that further true communitywide care coordination and trauma-informed care. We debunk myths about social services capabilities to participate in data interoperability, HIPAA compliance, and the use of billing codes within a health care setting. We also focus on social services agencies’ expertise around SDoH data, and highlight the ways they are leading the way for holistic, person-centered data models. Without this perspective, we lose the expertise gained through years of providing direct service to people with complex care needs and intersectional identities.

The Building Resilience Project | |
|
The Building Resilience (BR) project was designed to complement and enhance Dreams for Change (DFC) and International Rescue Committee’s (IRC) Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach and education programs and intensive case management (ICM). This federally funded demonstration project was launched in the fall of 2020 and closed in the summer of 2023. San Diego residents receiving services at
IRC or DFC were recruited to participate in the project and were required to complete several assessments at time of intake and one year post intake. A hallmark of the project is the understanding that increasing parental capacities, supporting economic stability, and improving effective regulation skills are the ingredients necessary to increase family functioning and reduce the effects of ACEs.
