ANNUAL CONFERENCEGrand Traverse Resort & SpaAcme, Michigan

3

Welcome to beautiful Northern Michigan where the views are spectacular and the sunsets are amazing!

I am delighted that you have chosen to participate in this

year’s Annual Conference: Enriching Patient Care in an Era of Emergencies and Epidemics. With the help of our dedicated board members, staff and community partners, this year’s conference has been designed to challenge, excite and inspire. In addition to the formal sessions, I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities to network, share ideas and best practices with your colleagues from throughout the state. Today’s health care environment is on a fast track with a focus on quality improvement, measurable outcomes, integrated service delivery and addressing the social determinates of health.

I believe that Michigan Health Centers are the key to a successful transformation that not only begins to reduce the cost of health care, but also has at its core the health and wellness of the more than 615,000 residents that rely on our health centers as their medical home.

The Michigan Primary Care Association is proud to be the voice for 42 Michigan Health Center organizations which provide quality, affordable, comprehensive primary and preventive health services at over 260 delivery sites across the state. Our members are the medical homes for individuals who are low income, uninsured, underinsured, elderly, minority, migrant and seasonal farmworkers, homeless, and those living with HIV/AIDS. If not for Health Centers, many of these individuals would remain isolated from health care due to lack of insurance, inability to pay for services, and transportation, language, and cultural issues.

I hope that you will leave Traverse City with renewed energy and dedication to face the challenges of shaping health service delivery for the next generation.

Yours in good health,

Loretta V. Bush, MSHAChief Executive Officer

Clinical TrackPre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)[Tower C] Presenter: Erik Wert, DO, FACOI, Medical Director, Ingham Community Health Centers

Admin / Enabling TrackPerspectives from the Field: Lessons learned from primary care and public health partnerships working toward population health improvement – PANEL[Governors AB]The integration of primary care and public health can provide a powerful partnership to address today’s public health system challenges. Efforts to promote collaborative primary care and public health initiatives have been underway for several years; however, opportunity remains to build capacity at the local level to foster integrated population health improvement. To help facilitate partnership endeavors, the Institute of Medicine (2012) identified five principles that enable primary care and governmental public health to work together: a shared goal of population health; community engagement; aligned leadership; sustainable systems; shared and collaborative use of data and analysis. Applying these concepts is easier said than done and more examples are needed to share best practices, challenges and lessons learned in creating and sustaining partnerships. To help foster increased awareness and efficacy toward partnership, the HRSA Region V Great Lakes Public Health Training Collaborative (GLPHTC)—a six-state training collaborative in the Midwest—conducted a process to better understand the challenges and opportunities around primary care and public health integration. In doing so, GLPHTC identified 65 success stories that aligned with the IOM’s factors of success. This presentation will highlight the key findings of the GLPHTC success stories and in addition, three Illinois and Michigan centers will present on their lessons learned from current partnerships aligned with the IOM’s factors of success. Participants will hear practical approaches to developing and sustaining partnerships to improve population health. Presenters: Lee Francis, MD, MPH, President & CEO, Erie Family Health Center; Phoebe Goldberg, PH, CHES, Program Manager, Michigan Public Health Training Center; Christina Welter, DrPH, MPH, Associate Director, University of Illinois at Chicago, School of Public Health; Heidi Britton, CEO, Northwest Michigan Health Services, Inc

Cherry Health stands as a marker of the highest levels of integration. They are also sorting out what levels of integration lead to best health outcomes for the different populations they serve. Cherry Health staff will give examples from several of their programs of integrated care.Presenters: Chris Shea, CEO, Cherry Health; Kayla Doyle, LMSW, Director of Integration; Jodi Pyper, RN, BSN, Director of Health Center Programs; Greg Deacon, MA LLP CCS, Director of Outpatient Services, Cherry Health

General TrackUsing Data to Understand and Address Workforce Challenges in Michigan[Tower B]The Solutions, Training, and Assistance for Recruitment and Retention (STAR²) Center, a project of the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved, was funded by the Bureau of Primary Health Care to help health centers address their clinician workforce challenges. Using its unique health center recruitment and retention data, the STAR² Center is able to identify specific workforce need at the health center, state, and regional level. Health center staff who are involved with their organization’s recruitment and retention efforts are invited to this breakout session to learn about free resources and assistance; how to use and understand their organization’s STAR² Center data profile; state workforce trends; and suggestions for meeting relevant challenges. The STAR2 Center will be hosting a technical assistance booth in the Exhibition Hall to provide one-on-one training on best practices for using their unique, free resources to boost recruitment and retention at your health center.Presenter: Allison Abayasekara, Director Training & Technical Assistance, Association of Clinicians for the Underserved

Admin / Enabling Track Social Determinants & Community Partnerships/Outreach and Enrollment[Tower C]Community Health Centers provide high-quality, accessible, affordable, and comprehensive health care to underserved populations, without regard for ability to pay. Robust, community-driven outreach and enabling services are critical for reaching populations with the greatest unmet need, connecting them to a broad scope of services, and ensuring their ability to fully access health care and achieve good health. During this session, the facilitator will describe a vision

for what a comprehensive outreach and enabling services model can achieve and introduce a strategic framework and toolkit that demonstrate the potential return on investment for implementing such programs. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1) Identify at least two ways to effectively integrate outreach and enabling services programs into health center priorities; 2) Apply the Outreach Business Value (OBV) strategic framework in order to effectively structure relevant outreach and enabling services; 3) Use theOBV toolkit to assess the financial implications of investing in specific outreach and enabling services.Presenter: Oscar Gomez, CEO, Health Outreach Partners

Presenter: P. Ann Ryan, DO, PhD, Family Practitioner, Michigan State University

Enabling / Finance TrackAligning our Practices with our Communities: Screening for Social Determinants of Health in Michigan Health Centers– PANEL DISCUSSION[Governors AB]Both the Institute of Medicine and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have called for evidence-based initiatives to better screen for and address the social determinants of health (SDH) in clinical settings. Recognizing and understanding variations in current SDH screening is critical for identifying best practices to address patients’ unmet social needs. In the context of an academic-community partnership between the Michigan Primary Care Association and the University of Michigan, we documented current screening practices across Michigan Health Centers. This session will present those findings and compare how the statewide implementation of a standardized SDH assessment aligns with existing practices. We will also specifically discuss the Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients’ Assets, Risks, and Experiences (PRAPARE) and its role in delivery system transformation in Michigan and nationwide. Presenters: Michelle Jester, Research Manager, National Association of Community Health Centers; Elena Byhoff, MD, MSc, Assistant Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, Tufts Medical Center; Alicia Cohen, MD, Clinical Lecturer, Department of Family Medicine, University of Michigan; Renuka Tipirneni, MD, MSc, Clinical Lecturer, Department of Medicine, University of MichiganSession sponsored by Aegis Group

Clinical TrackTrauma Informed Care [Tower B]Trauma Informed Care (TIC) refers to an organizational structure and treatment framework that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. By using trauma informed care, a trauma survivor’s medical experiences can be positive and avoid iatrogenic harm. TIC uses a number of core assumptions: 1) Psychological and emotional trauma is central and pervasive; 2) Medical practitioners should use universal precautions (e.g. people should not have to disclose in order to receive TIC); 3) Behavioral symptoms are often attempts to cope with the trauma; 4) A goal involves returning a sense of autonomy and control to the person served.Presenter: Tom Moore, Founder and Owner, Two Moons, LLC

Clinical / Enabling TrackTeam Model of Enriched Care – PANEL DISCUSSION[Governors AB] Healthcare integration has been a hot topic for a number of years now, with growing interest and practice in the state of Michigan. While there are numerous definitions, SAMHSA-HRSA discusses the concept as a solution to treating the “whole person,” addressing more than just physical or mental health in a single-visit.

Monday, August 15concept of thinking, and an inclusion of a variety of “team members” in a patient-centered-care environment. This type of care addresses coordination of primary and behavioral health care, but often also incorporates nutrition, chronic illness management, substance use, and other social determinants of health. Learn from a panel of three geographically and demographically diverse health centers about successful approaches to integrated care in their communities, and allow their success stories to spark your own ideas about how to implement more innovative care in your own clinic. Presenters: Sara Koziel, MA, Associate Director of Clinical Services, Michigan Primary Care Association; Patty Wagenhofer, Integrated Health Director, Genesee Community Health Center; Stacey Gedeon, Behavioral Health Director, MidMichigan Community Health Services; Melissa DaSilva, BS, BSRN, MS, Chief Innovation Officer, Central City Integrated Health

Admin TrackIt’s Personal! Caring For and Caring About Each Patient[Tower C]Your organization doesn’t provide care, your people do, one person at a time. If your staff care for and care about each individual they serve, patients will receive superior service and have an extraordinary experience. In the wake of trauma associated with emergencies and epidemics, patients need empathy, hope and help; for their mind, body and spirit. But under the mounting pressure of productivity requirements, financial stresses, compliance mandates and inflexible EHRs it is difficult for staff to stay focused on the patient’s needs. Inspiring staff to demonstrate that level of personal caring (especially with the pressures on you)is a daunting task, but if you don’t do it, who will? And if you are like most leaders in healthcare, inspiring staff is an aspect of your job that you have had little training for. In this workshop we will explore a common sense approach to bringing out the best in your staff; creating a patient-centered culture of caring service, including1) A process you can utilize to inspire yourself and stay focused. 2) An understanding of how to evoke personal commitment from others. 3) Insight into how to help staff understand their role in creating an extraordinary experience for patients.Presenter: Brad Zimmerman, CEO, Phoenix Performance Partners, LLC (formerly i3 Executive Coaching); ); Tasha Blackmon, COO, Cherry Health
