We are thrilled to officially announce the launch of Docs for Health! 🌟 At Docs for Health, we're not just a team, but a diverse family of healthcare professionals united by a common goal: addressing patients' social needs. From community health workers to social workers, lawyers to physicians, our journey began with a shared mission and a passion for addressing social risk factors from within the health system. What started as providing free resources has now blossomed into a comprehensive platform empowering health systems nationwide. But amidst our growth, we remain rooted in real-world experiences, understanding the critical importance of addressing social determinants of health. We are proud to offer a HIPAA-secure platform that identifies patients' social needs and provides intervention tools right at the point of care. By enabling health systems to routinely address social risk factors, we pave the way for improved outcomes and significant cost savings. Join us in revolutionizing healthcare through social care integration! 💪 #socialdeterminantsofhealth #healthcare #healthadvocacy #hipaacompliant #socialcare

Collaboration, collaboration, collaboration. 🤝 Let's talk about it in the healthcare system.... As healthcare workers, we all have the common goal of improving health outcomes for our patients. But let's be real, sometimes we can get caught up in competing with each other instead of working together. Each department has its unique role and we can't progress without one another. Why not embrace collaboration and see the amazing results it can bring?✨ Together, we can achieve so much more and promote health more effectively and efficiently📌 Let's put our egos aside and join forces for the greater good💪 HealthForAll Initiative For Community Health #CollaborationIsKey #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork #HealthPromotionGoals Video Credit goes to the creator!

⏳"It's a WHOLE LOTTA LOTTA work" to build the tech, governance, and audit-passing processes required by contracts with #managedcareplans and other #healthcare entities. Often, it takes years. How has your organization navigated these challenges? #Healthcare #Tech #Governance #Compliance

🔒 Genuine concern for patient privacy. Agreeing on data sharing is one thing; feeling comfortable sharing sensitive data outside your organization is another. There is real vulnerability here for care providers. How does your organization address these concerns? #PatientPrivacy #DataSecurity #Healthcare #SocialCare

For families and consumers, accessing healthcare resources can be insurmountable at times. For families under multiple health plans engaging with health care can often be met with complexity, confusion, and distrust. As a result, health plans struggle to engage with beyond 37% of their members independently. However, through partnership with LocalConnections for Health, health plan engagement  is significantly enhanced  to reach up to 80% of members. How do we achieve this? Our approach involves leveraging trained and certified community health workers who act as trusted guides to healthcare resources and social support. Our health workers connect to families in their communities through community-based organizations, telephone services, and face-to-face interactions. Our focus extends beyond setting individual health goals; we meticulously devise workflows and implement tailored next-best actions based on each family member’s specific health needs. This approach ensures that health plan members and families receive personalized guidance, placing them on a path towards a brighter and healthier future.

💖 The Heart of Health Care 💖 Health Care Assistants (HCAs) are truly the heart of our healthcare system. Their compassion, dedication, and hard work ensure that people receive the best care possible. 🌟 From helping with daily activities to providing emotional support, HCAs make a significant impact on the lives of those they care for. Let’s take a moment to recognize and celebrate these incredible individuals who go above and beyond every day. 👏 Do you have a story about a Health Care Assistant who made a difference in your life or the life of a loved one?

🌟✨Healthcare can feel like a maze, especially for those overcoming chronic illnesses or multiple health conditions. But here's where the unsung heroes, Care Managers, step in to shine! They're the lifelines that connect overwhelming treatment plans with individualized communication and compassion. Speaking of which, did you know that last month alone, the Refugee and Immigrant Self Empowerment (RISE) program enrolled a whopping 403 clients in Western and Central New York? That's 274 in Syracuse and 129 in Buffalo! 👩⚕️🏥Understanding the game-changing impact Care Managers bring to patient-centered care is crucial. Defined by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, Care Management is all about leveling up patients' health status while cutting down on medical service needs. And trust me, it's more than just a figure; it's a tribute to the commitment of those dedicated to quality care. (Healthteamworks.org) 💬✨The bond between a Care Manager and their patients isn't just about deciphering medical terms and scheduling appointments—it's about building trust, fostering collaboration, and empowering patients to push forth to a better lifestyle. With each individual enrolled, RISE embodies the spirit of patient-centered care. Don't forget, the patient's voice is the heartbeat of the team. Let's keep championing for healthcare that's inclusive, compassionate, and truly patient-centered. #PatientCare #HealthEquity #RISEProgram #WesternNY #CentralNY #CareManagement 🌿🏥 Source: https://lnkd.in/g3JF9GZE

📊 Size matters. Building interoperable data systems is a challenge for small and mid-sized community social care providers compared to large, well-funded organizations. What strategies have you found effective in overcoming these hurdles? #DataIntegration #Healthcare #SocialCare #Interoperability

Today was the NHS PEP kickoff. This program taps the expertise of patients, caregivers and advocates to evolve our healthcare system. It's based on the belief that lived experiences should steer meaningful change. I met incredible people building innovation projects addressing significant gaps in Healthcare. Their stories highlighted how grassroots initiatives by passionate locals are vital to filling health needs. The CEP recognises that top-down approaches can't address local nuances that impact health equitably. The people using services daily have crucial insights, and their voices and choices matter. When communities are empowered to lead change, it can transform lives across the UK's diversity. This programme is just what we need at this stage in building Eli Health. The CEP team, as always, are fantastic humans who inspired us all Tony Young, Polly Sullivan, and Lucy Dentice. *** What community health solutions have you seen blossoming? How can we scale creative grassroots projects nationwide? #nhsengland #cep

🏥 We are all public health, and health equity starts at the community level. 🏥 🤝 As collaborators with many public health and community-based organizations to provide equitable healthcare, we support this message from a new case statement from the Public Health Institute. 🤝 👏 We all have a role in public health. 👏 "Partnership and collaboration between governmental public health, community-based organizations and intermediary nonprofits lead to greater health equity. Together, public health systems can be responsive to the unique needs of all communities." #publichealth #healthequity #healthcare #diagnostics https://lnkd.in/dt-jGYSR
