Patient Health Improvement Initiative
The Patient Health Improvement Initiative works in a special way to help chronically ill patients in communities in San Diego County with the highest disease burdens and highest death rates. Once an individual meets the enrollment criteria, a team of medical and social specialists begin working closely with him or her.
Prevention Services
The Prevention Alliance prevents the spread of chronic diseases like diabetes in multi-ethnic, immigrant and refugee communities.Free Prevention Workshops teach prediabetics how to use nutrition and weight loss to reduce the risk of becoming diabetic. The PA works with clinics, employers and insurance plans to offer Prevention Workshops to their members.
Analysis and Action
The Health Equity Action Think Tank will use the data from the work with multicultural patients to understand their clinical and social challenges and share culturally appropriate interventions for their long-term wellness.
Healthy Reinvestment
One medical group saved more than $100,000 on participating patients and re-invested a portion back into the project so they could continue to receive clinical-social support and avoid regressing to medical crisis.
