Dr Minesh Patel, GP and NAPC Non-Executive Director attended the Frimley Health and Care Integrated Care System ‘Inspiring Primary Care Transformation’ event last week to lead two sessions on ‘Population Health and Communities – Integrated Neighbourhood Teams’. Minesh said: “We had a very engaging discussion on population health improvement and making neighbourhood care real, looking at the keys to success including working upstream and the importance of activating teams and activating residents. "We discussed examples of simple upstream interventions around common underlying drivers of health demand such as diabesity and effective and enabling wellbeing interventions such as singing groups, supporting people living with frailty and the impact and ended on the benefits of the group consultations model as a way of engaging and activating people with some examples from my practice. “Frimley is a dynamic ICS with some local challenges, but they realise the importance of improving working lives and are taking positive steps to doing this. They have well established population data and analysis that they are actively using which is really positive. It was great to see Professor Claire Fuller there talking about neighbourhood care and Dr Phil Wallek, one of the Primary Care Home leaders from Lewes also talking about the importance on real team working and benefits of demand and capacity planning around keeping well.” There are some examples of case studies focusing on population health improvement on the NAPC website: https://lnkd.in/daqyuCSP

We all want to live in a community where everyone has the opportunity to reach their best health and wellbeing. The Strategies to Repair Equity and Transform Community Health (STRETCH) Initiative works to strengthen the foundational relationships between governmental public health and communities imperative to ensuring all members of the community can thrive and improve the structures and processes needed to consistently move this work forward. The STRETCH Framework is a tool for public health practitioners—including state public health agencies, local health departments and community-based organizations—to understand the shifts needed to achieve true change. The framework aims to re-imagine standard public health practice by centering equity as a through line throughout all public health domains and deploys a systems change approach. https://cdcf.link/3WR2UJd

1 in 4. Remember this statistic. It’s the number of people who are served by Health Centers across the United States of America. Over the past 50 + years the movement has become more and more significant and quite frankly, critical. This movement is like no other. It’s about courage, fortitude, perseverance, and compassion. It’s not a job it’s a way of life. It’s about advocating for all. It’s about being a solution for the ills of the world. It’s about lifting up while strengthening America’s landscape. With just a little federal funding, every dime is stretched and generating 6 times over. The person wins, the employee wins, the local economy wins, the state wins, and more significantly, the nation wins. Special thanks to Congress and to all U.S. Presidents over the past 50 years who have allocated funding to this beautiful movement. We are super excited to support our team who sacrifice daily to ensure that the mission lives on. To all the leaders, employees, patients, and families we salute you. To all of the volunteer and consumer board members, your service matters. #NationalCHCWeek🎉 #HealthCentersBridgingGaps #Advocacy #AmericaWinsWithCHCs #CelebratingQualityinHealhcare #EVERYONEMATTERS #INCLUSIVCARES
📣 To kick off National Health Center Week, August 4-10, the White House issued a proclamation recognizing the key role Community Health Centers play in making sure health care is a right in this country, not a privilege: "Federally funded community health centers are a lifeline for over 30 million Americans nationwide — providing affordable access to quality medical, dental, and behavioral health services, which save lives. Community health center sites are especially critical for people in Tribal, rural, and underserved communities because they are often the closest and most convenient sources of care. During National Health Center Week, we recognize the importance of the nearly 1,400 federally funded community health centers that provide critical services to Americans. We express our gratitude to their dedicated staff, who tirelessly devote themselves to the well-being of their patients. And we recommit to ensuring that every American has access to good-quality, affordable health care."

Chief Executive at International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC)
I used the bank holiday weekend in the UK to listen to the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) Plenary 3 at #ICIC24, co-chaired by Professor Robin Miller and Sarah McLaughlin. The discussion centred around global experiences of general practice in delivering #integratedcare. As Professor Robin Miller challenged in his opening - in general practice we can see both the best and the worst of care integration. Starting with the best, Sarah McLaughlin from Mid & East Antrim Agewell Partnership talked to Billy Johnson about his lived experience of #personcentredcare that was based around what mattered to him and the confidence that gave him in his #generalpractice. It was such a lovely conversation to listen to between two people who clearly understood the value of #relationalcare. Amarjit Maxwell shared the experience of the one of the Primary Health Organisation THINK Hauora in New Zealand as they support the general practice journey to well-being partner for communities, Richard Lewanczuk shared the experience in Alberta, Canada as general practice moves to an extended team that includes people and care-givers as the main providers of care, and Jan De Maeseneer took us on a journey through 50 years of primary care development in Flanders towards Community Health Centres. So many lessons shared along the way. My takeaways: 📈 The pressure on general practice everywhere is increasing and unlikely to decrease anytime soon 🏘 General practice that is moving away from the 'traditional model' of reactive care to preventative and relational care will thrive and help their communities thrive BUT - the 🐘 in the room was 💶! - Investment in new models of multi-disciplinary primary care can accelerate this process hugely, as the evaluation of a model of care shared by Jan shows [https://lnkd.in/eHNmBsux] but this has not yet happened to any significant degree.

“CalAIM is changing a decades old approach to what health care means by addressing health-related social needs.” — Michelle Baass, Director, California Department of Health Care Services at the California Association of Health Plans annual conference. CalAIM provides enhanced care management and community supports to address social needs. Enhanced Care Management: • is a statewide MediCal Managed Care Plan benefit to support elevated comprehensive care management for members who have the most complex cases • assigns members with complex needs a Care Manager to help them navigate their care and services across the physical, behavioral, and dental health delivery systems. We’re working with California Health Policy Strategies (CalHPS) to support a CalAIM Statewide Dementia Care Learning Collaborative to support community-based organizations that are serving older dual eligibles and persons with dementia at high risk of institutionalization to offer enhanced care management.
