While the Humana Community Navigator (HCN) appears to be a great idea, time will tell how effective this tool is in delivering the anticipated results and achieving a broad level of usage and acceptance. From my experience with providing resource navigation tools for community usage, we can not take for granted that the people who can benefit most from these tools have the ability or the resources to access them. This is particularly true if your target market is Medicare Advantage subscribers. Yes, everyone owns a phone; but not everyone is capable of navigating the ins and outs of apps and web-sites. So what’s the solution? Well, one solution might be to incorporate pharmacies and other frequently visited community locations into the program that have trained employees who can assist consumers in accessing the information and services they require. There are other high-touch points within the community (libraries?) that can be leveraged as well; to the benefits of the MA subscriber and the community as a whole. It certainly seems like a good idea, but there are important guardrails and enhancements that need to become a part of any program like the Humana program. A more complete and targeted program would include some type of Consumer Needs Compass. Such a front end to the Community Navigation tool would allow consumers, providers, members and other constituents to create a path with the most pertinent data SPECIFIC to a person’s individual needs. Lots of data and lots of options are only useful to a point. What all users need to know is the most relevant info for them specifically with some alternatives.
We believe the path to better health shouldn't be hard to travel. To help our members achieve their best possible health, we've developed tools like the Humana Community Navigator® (HCN). The HCN is an active directory that connects members with trusted resources, based on their ZIP code. Thanks to the HCN, all Humana Medicare Advantage members and many Medicaid members can find help with everything from access to food and transportation to job placement services, financial education and much more. Best of all, all the programs listed on the HCN are offered for free, at a reduced rate, or on a sliding scale. Since its launch in 2022, the HCN has made more than 173,000 referrals to more than 51,700 unique members, making it one of the most robust tools we have for supporting our members in their quest for better health and more meaningful community.

It's National Public Health Week, April 1-7, 2024! This year's theme is “Protecting, Connecting and Thriving: We Are All Public Health.” Our focus is not just the ways public health serves our communities — protecting our access to clean water and air, to nutritious and safe foods, to the right and ability to access essential health services — but the ways our communities flourish when they have their needs met. The American Public Health Association and National Public Health Week want everyone to know they can make their communities healthier, safer and stronger when we support and stay engaged with one another. As we adjust and adapt to new social norms, we’re focusing not just on what we can do as individuals, but what we can do as communities to protect, prioritize and influence the future of public health.

This is incredibly important work. The way to improve healthcare is through real-life interventions and connections at the community level. Progress happens one relationship at a time. "The recommendations identify four public health system dimensions across which most health department and CBO partners can operationalize best practices for transforming their partnerships: organizational culture; leadership and governance; data, measurement and evaluation; and funding and investments. ...As partners tailor the recommendations to their unique and local contexts, they are encouraged to embrace discomfort and to prioritize progress over perfection, paving the way for stronger, more equitable and enduring partnerships."
Recommendations for Strengthening Partnerships Between Health Departments and Community-Based Organizations provides a roadmap for strengthening the relationship of governmental public health and communities to provide better health opportunities for all within the community. Developed by the CDC Foundation, in partnership with Human Impact Partners (HIP) and with support from Kaiser Permanente, the recommendations draw from insights gathered from over 140 health departments, communities and national organizations.

The American Public Health Association (APHA) sponsors National Public Health Week from April 3 to 9 to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important for improving our nation’s health. This year’s theme, Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health, emphasizes the way different cultures focus on health. As an FQHC, for My Community Health Center, public health is more than just health care. It is all the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are healthy. It is making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It is also the relationships we foster in our communities. We are all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities, and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health! https://lnkd.in/gHfePk3p #NationalPublicHealthWeek #centeringandcelebratingculturesinhealth #mchc #FQHC
