Program Update (12.3.15)

The relaunch occurred as planned.  New referrals opened up on 12/1/15 as expected.  

Becky was at all clinic sites on Tuesday and spent time with nurses and ensured the equipment was ready to go.  Already there have been two new referrals and two more discharges.  Active patient count is 45 with one more patient in for enrollment today.  This is exciting and shows that the clean-up activities were necessary and the retraining of clinicians allows the relaunch to work.  The RN coordinators at the different clinics are excited.  There are new education materials and a new RN process to allow a decision to be made for potential patients.  One goal since the launch is to define nicer handouts, tips for the patients.  Currently they are in review by the Medical Director and in English but the goal of language translation is not far behind.  These documents are a work in progress to ensure they are useful and accurate.

Program Update (11.19.15)

Ongoing patient clean-up remains the focus as planned.  Currently there are 48 active patients.

Becky has been at the two other Mosaic clinics and talked with the nurses and trained them as some are new.  This training will prepare for the re-launch of referrals on December 1.  The goal is for Becky to spend Tuesdays at Madras, Thursdays at Redmond while still being based at the Prineville Clinic.  This change will allow her to support clinician questions immediately and ensure inventory at the clinics is available.  

Jessica continues to focus on inventory and equipment recovery.
