Using Social and Economic Barriers to Health Data to Inform Programming

domo-age-category

How do you read the data?

This week, SWCAHEC is posting the AHCM data on social needs and letting YOU read it! AHCM data is aggregate data based on patient screenings in participating clinic settings and healthcare facilities. This data gives us information about the barriers to health faced by community members in Southwestern Colorado. We use this data to create care plans, to coordinate care, and to link with community organizations to increase the wellness of everyone in our region. We also use the data to create new programming and to support existing programs that already serve our region. Please answer the following questions:

1. When you look at the data above, what do you think it means for our region? Your experience will give you a unique perspective on the numbers in the graph above.


2. What do the numbers tell us about social and economic barriers to health in Southwestern Colorado?


3. Given your interpretation of the numbers in the graph, what action would you take to address the community need expressed through the data?

Please send your response to Kate at [email protected] We will publish the responses in next week's Pathways. We will also enter your name in a drawing for a Rocky Mountain gift card. We look forward to sharing ideas about how data on social and economic barriers to health can impact how we can increase wellness in Southwestern Colorado!

How Nurses and Medical Assistants Can Foster a
Culture of Immunization in the Practice

Research shows that healthcare professionals are the most trusted source of information for parents when it comes to vaccines for their child. Nurses and medical assistants have a key role to play in improving vaccine acceptance and fostering a culture of immunization in the practice as they are in contact with parents throughout the office visit.

This CE activity features practical strategies to improve vaccination rates in the practice, including how to deliver clear and concise vaccine recommendations and address parents’ frequently asked questions. By highlighting key points before, during, and after a patient’s visit to support vaccine conversations, this presentation will reinforce best practices for improving vaccination rates. Find out how to develop a culture of immunization in your practice.

Audience: Administrators, CHES certified health educators, physicians, LPNs, LVNs, medical assistants, medical students, NPs, nurse technicians, other health educators, pharmacists, PAs, program managers, RNs

CME: Valid through December 4, 2021
