El Dorado County Safety Net Technology Project

描述(由申请人提供)：El Dorado县安全网络(网络)技术项目(项目)是一项雄心勃勃的努力，旨在影响El Dorado县向未参保/参保不足的儿童和有工作的成年人和家庭提供的患者安全/护理质量。该网络由向安全网人口(贫困、未参保、保险不足)提供卫生保健服务的主要提供者组成，包括当地医院、社区诊所、县精神卫生、公共卫生和公共服务部门、教育办公室以及几个为这些人口服务的非营利组织。该项目将整合该网络的“准入产品”，这是一个三管齐下的办法：1)为有资格获得公共保险的儿童提供外联和登记；2)为那些没有资格获得公共保险的儿童提供渠道，最高可达贫困水平的300%；以及3)为当地小企业雇用的无法为其工人提供保险的家庭提供医疗保健。规划目标包括：1)通过确保适当的领导和人员配置来加强网络；加强网络成员的关系、团队合作和工作效率，并确定和利用其他适当的倡议，以进一步扩大/增强网络，以提高患者的安全；2)通过扩大/加强网络的业务/战略计划，实现网络内的效率；3)为网络中的卫生信息技术(HIT)实施/整合制定综合计划，以促进和改善患者的安全/护理质量，具体方法是：提供可通过HIT满足的具体临床和组织需求；评估实施HIT的可行性；确定项目参数；制定实施计划；并规定了持续评估和反馈的程序。通过这一规划，该网络将确定最有益和可行的技术，将HIT与Access产品相结合，从而提高该县未参保和未参保人群的患者安全/护理质量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The El Dorado County Safety Network (Network) Technology Project (Project) is an ambitious effort to affect the patient safety/quality of care delivered to uninsured/underinsured children and employed adults and families in El Dorado County. The Network consists of the major providers of health care services to the safety net population (indigent, uninsured, underinsured) and includes both local hospitals, community clinics, the County Mental Health, Public Health, and Human Services Departments, the Office of Education, and several non-profits serving this population. The Project will integrate the Network's "Access Product", a 3 pronged approach to: 1) provide outreach and enrollment for children eligible for public insurance; 2) provide access for those children not eligible for public insurance, up to 300% of the poverty level; and 3) provide access to healthcare to those families employed by local small businesses unable to provide coverage for their workers. Planning goals include: 1) strengthening the Network by ensuring appropriate leadership and staffing; strengthening relationships, teamwork, and working efficiencies of the Network members and identifying and accessing other appropriate initiatives to further expand/enhance the Network to increase patient safety; 2) achieving efficiencies within the Network by expanding/enhancing the Network's business/strategic plan; 3) developing a comprehensive plan for Health Information Technology (HIT) implementation/integration among the Network to promote and improve patient safety/quality of care by: providing specific clinical and organizational needs that can be met through HIT; assessing feasibility of HIT implementation; defining project parameters; developing the implementation plan; and specifying procedures for ongoing evaluation and feedback. By this planning, the Network will identify the most beneficial and feasible technology to integrate HIT with the Access Product which will increase patient safety/quality of care of the uninsured and underinsured in the county.
