PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL NEIGHBORHOOD: NORTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM HAS BEEN SELECTED AS ONE OF FIFTEEN COMMUNITIES IN THE NATION TO ESTABLISH A PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL NEIGHBORHOOD (PCMN) AS PART OF A CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID (CMS) INNOVATION CHALLENGE GRANT. THE PCMN BUILDS ON THE CONCEPT OF A PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME BY CONNECTING ACUTE-CARE HOSPITALS, SPECIALTY AND SUB-SPECIALTY PRACTICES AND OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCES WITH PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS IN ORDER TO DRIVE HIGHER QUALITY, PROVIDE MORE AFFORDABLE CARE AND ENSURE A POSITIVE PATIENT EXPERIENCE. THE FIRST STEP IN THIS THREE-YEAR PROJECT IS TO BUILD STRONG MEDICAL HOME PRACTICES. PARTNERING WITH NGPG AND OTHER COMMUNITY PRACTICES, THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE MORE INDIVIDUALIZED CARE TO PATIENTS. A MEDICAL HOME IS A CONCEPT OF CARE - NOT A BUILDING, A HOUSE OR A HOSPITAL. THE GOAL OF THE MEDICAL HOME MODEL IS TO BETTER COORDINATE CARE THROUGH PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES WITH HOSPITALS, MEDICAL SPECIALTIES AND OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES TO SUPPORT A MORE FULLY-INTEGRATED APPROACH TO CARE. BEING CARED FOR IN A PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME MEANS NGPG'S HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WILL WORK WITH PATIENTS TO HELP UNDERSTAND THEIR TOTAL HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND CONNECT THEM WITH COMMUNITY AND OTHER RESOURCES TO HELP MEET THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED NEEDS. A PARTNERSHIP IS DEVELOPED BETWEEN THE PATIENT, THE PERSONAL PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HEALTHCARE TEAM, AND THERE IS A KEY FOCUS ON ENCOURAGING PATIENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR CARE. DISEASE CARE MANAGERS: DISEASE MANAGEMENT IS A SET OF INTERVENTIONS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC DISEASES. DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF PERSONS WITH SPECIFIC CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND TO REDUCE HEALTHCARE SERVICE USE AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH AVOIDABLE COMPLICATIONS, SUCH AS EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS. PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS GENERALLY USE MORE HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INCLUDING PHYSICIAN VISITS, HOSPITAL CARE, AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. NGMC EMPLOYS FOUR DISEASE CARE MANAGERS TO FOCUS ON THE CORE MEASURES IDENTIFIED BY CMS, WHICH ARE PNEUMONIA AND SEPSIS, HEART FAILURE, STROKE AND ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. CMS BEGAN FOCUSING ON THESE DISORDERS TO IMPROVE CARE AND REDUCE COSTS; THEREFORE, THESE PROFESSIONALS MANAGE CARE TO IMPROVE ADHERENCE TO EVIDENCE BASED PREVENTION AND TREATMENT GUIDELINES, WORKING WITH PROVIDERS AND/OR WITH PATIENTS TO IMPROVE CARE. DISEASE MANAGERS PROVIDE COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND SOME DISEASE MANAGERS PROVIDE HEALTH EDUCATION AT GOOD NEWS CLINICS (THE INDIGENT CLINIC). OTHER COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROVIDED BY DISEASE MANAGERS INCLUDES CHURCH/CIVIC/SENIOR GROUPS, HEALTH FAIRS AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS. SANE PROGRAM: NGMC PROVIDES A SANE PROGRAM (SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER) WHICH PROVIDES NURSES SPECIAL TRAINING IN RAPE CRISIS, TRIAL TIME WITH A DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND TRAINING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND A PEDIATRICIAN'S OFFICE.

LIFELINE: NGMC HAS A LIFELINE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE WHICH ALLOWS PEOPLE TO CONTINUE LIVING INDEPENDENTLY IN THEIR HOMES WITH THE SECURITY OF KNOWING THEY CAN QUICKLY ACCESS HELP IF THEY NEED IT. BY PRESSING A LIGHTWEIGHT, WATERPROOF ALERT BUTTON WORN AROUND THE NECK OR WRIST, SUBSCRIBERS CAN SIGNAL LIFELINE MONITORS WHO DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF HELP IS NEEDED AND CALL FOR IT IMMEDIATELY.
