Health ICT: New Name, Same Mission

2021年,卫生信息通信技术加入了堪萨斯卫生商业集团. However, 工作和使命仍然是一样的:帮助提供者改进识别, prevention, and management of individuals with diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.

由疾病控制中心(CDC)提供资金, we collaborate with healthcare providers to develop team-based care approaches to care delivery in which non-physician team members are empowered to handle the more predictable, routine tasks in patient care to ensure consistency and to allow the physician to focus on the more severe patient issues.

Since 2016, we have been assisting providers in Wichita and across the state by providing funding and free technical assistance. 请参阅下面的图表,以更好地了解我们的质量改进过程. Contact us to learn more!

Clinical Quality Improvement Projects

与堪萨斯大学威奇托医学院合作, we have completed several quality improvement projects within physician offices that address the identification, treatment, 并(必要时)转诊糖尿病前期患者, diabetes, hypertension, or elevated blood cholesterol levels.

Some successful projects include:

Hypertension Treatment Algorithm

Assessing Cardiovascular Risk and Statin Use

Holistic Care Providers & Resources

在治疗患者时,重要的是要全面解决他们的健康问题. Holistic care is a comprehensive health management approach to improve the condition of mind, emotions, and behavior of patients with diabetes to better regulate blood glucose levels and improve quality of life. 整体护理关注的是人的整体体验和状况, both physically, emotionally, socially, culturally, and spiritually, 而且不仅考虑到疾病对病人的影响, but also on the patient’s family and community.

Pharmacy

Pharmacists are an often under-utilized source of expertise when helping patients prevent or manage chronic disease. 当被授权在他们的执照上工作时, 药剂师可以改善病人的健康状况, 同时大大减轻了医生的负担.

根据医生和药剂师之间的正式协议, called Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPAs), physicians develop a protocol for how the pharmacist can care for patients with specific conditions. Learn more about how a CPA works, 听听一位以这种方式与药剂师合作的医生的意见. 通过观看下面的录音来了解更多信息.

Community Health Workers

A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who is a trusted member of and/or has an unusually close understanding of the community served. This trusting relationship enables the worker to serve as a liaison/link/intermediary between health/social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery.

A CHW also builds individual and community capacity by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support and advocacy.
