Meeting held in North Annex, Burien clinic.

Questions about how to use the tool for opportunistic care for making quick headway.

Reports are always 3-7 weeks behind so check EPIC first before contacting patients on the list to see if care has already been received.

Where should we target first?
DM and heart care are number 1
Cancer (Breast, cervical and colorectal) is number 2
Childhood immunizations are number 3

If patients are not able to take ASA provider can add this to the problem list.

If a child is off on the regular immunization schedule, they can add “Alternative Immunization Schedule” to the Problem List.

There are different age cutoffs for different measures, but most are under age 80.

Discussion about labs, when lab orders are available to the lab, patients having to get multiple labs drawn because of this……

Birthday letters come out of their office and we can contact them if there is an exception.

Meeting closed at 2:30PM
