How:
|
Hospitals,
health systems and other providers serve as a catalyst and
play leadership roles, to facilitate the identification
of their community needs and to help individuals achieve
their optimal health. This is achieved through:
- Actively
seeking out community members to serve as the patient
and community advocates.
Provide user-friendly reports and forums to engage community
members in addressing needs.
- Support
education efforts and materials to make patients fully
informed of risk factors and the treatment options.
- The
group supports improvement in community health by encouraging
use of best practices, safety, care management programs,
preventative medicine, health promotion, and early intervention.

in providing leadership for the ongoing improvement in the delivery
of health services that is demonstrated through measurements
of access, patients' perception of care, resource use, and quality
- Provide a forum
to discuss and advocate for public policy to create an environment
conductive to the development and operation of integrated delivery
that provides coordinated care and to expand health care coverage
and access to these health care services.
