Present: Kelly Walsh, Sarah Philp, Ashley Lindell, Becky Dolan, Shannon Jewell, Esma Delalic, Jason Mateo, Star Morales
Thanks to nursing staff for working HEDIS measures on cancer screening; Kelly is seeing patients who are aware of their need for colon screening.
Provider schedules are in the process of being approved for Fall. Amy will start in October.
Discussion of HEDIS letters; providers are getting inquiry about the wording for the colonoscopies; a copy of the letter is distributed to the providers. The letters are copied from what the East cluster mails out. The West providers will discuss and maybe revamp the wording or take out colonoscopy all together as this requires a referral and can be done if there is a positive hemoccult.
Back to the Medical Home list; Proactive Care
What are we doing already? Looking ahead on Hedis list a day or so before
How do we decide what to do next? Be more proactive; can we notify appointed patients before visits (to come in fasting or that they are in need of a pap)? Each nursing staff can be responsible for 1 provider weekly and can email MyGHC active patients ahead of time… Providers will discuss and get back to nursing staff.
There is no more shortage of the shingles vaccine. If a shingles vaccine is ordered, direct the patient to go to the Business office and check on their coverage and if they still desire to get the vaccine, go to the Core to register for the injection room.
Meeting closed at 1:40PM
