Population Health

HCN has been leading innovations in technology for more than 20 years and is committed to providing the latest solutions that will readily position our centers for a competitive value-based market. HCN's population health strategy encompasses tools and resources allowing centers to optimize their staffing resources appropriately while efficiently targeting patients for enhanced care oversight. Our team guides our centers on how to effectively stratify their patient populations and implement valuable workflows to help target and engage our centers’ highly complex and rising risk populations.

Key Health Initiatives

Preventing and Managing Diabetes

Diabetes presents a complex health condition that impacts the quality of life for our patients when not well managed and poses significant financial implications to our health system. HCN is committed to providing relevant and timely resources, including training, education, best practices, and other innovative ideas for our centers as they continue to advance diabetic care.

Improving Cardiovascular Health

HCN partners with the American Heart Association (AHA),  American Medical Association (AMA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) to improve the cardiovascular health of our centers' patients. Through both the Target BP and Million Hearts initiative, our centers have access to the latest research, tools, and resources to focus efforts on how to reduce the number of patients who have heart attacks and strokes.

Tackling the Opioid Crisis

Integrating primary care and behavioral health is more important now than ever in identifying and treating patients afflicted by an opioid use disorder. HCN works with our centers’ clinical leadership to provide tailored programs focused on ensuring access to treatment protocols and properly training care team members to fight this epidemic and to guarantee prevention strategies are deployed.

Ending the HIV Epidemic

In alignment with our clinical priority focus areas, HCN has partnered with Gilead Science’s Frontlines Of Communities in the United States (FOCUS) program, to move the needle on local & national goals to End the HIV Epidemic by 2030. Through our partnership, HCN is working with community health centers across the network to increase HIV testing and build strong HIV programming to support the Four pillars of Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America.

Research

HCN actively participates in research and education activities directly benefiting the patients, practices and communities in our network.  HCN partners with health center-controlled networks and academic institutions to conduct quality, secondary data analysis and community-driven research.   An important aim is to help strengthen the capacity of member health centers to expand their research infrastructure and engagement.

 

HCN's research priorities are developed in collaboration with health center leadership and key stakeholders.
