On April 22 we had a pipe elbow failure in our Emergency Department (ED) causing a significant water leak. Crews are working hard to repair damage as quickly as possible. Our ED is open, but several rooms are currently offline, which can increase wait times. Apologies for any inconvenience you may experience.
In this podcast, Valley's Hiroshi Nakano, vice president Value Based Initiatives, Judith Puzon, director Outpatient Nursing Services, and Julie Osgood, former vice president Clinic Network, discuss the work using PRAPARE to position ourselves for value-based care, enhance cross-sector partnerships, and improve the health and wellbeing of our community. Listen to the podcast.
Background: Valley Innovation Center worked with FDCares and the National Association of Community Health Centers to learn about the work addressing the needs related to social drivers of health necessary to providing whole-person, value-based care.
Valley Medical Center leveraged PRAPARE, an assessment tool consisting of a set of national core measures, as well as a set of optional measures for community priorities, to assess and address the needs of our racially and linguistically diverse community.
