This webinar is part of the Accelerating Initiative Real Stories with Real Impacts: What Worked for Accelerating Initiative Teams Webinar series.

 

Focused Description:
The Oregon Health & Science University NexusIPE™ team builds upon the relationships built through the OHSU Campus for Rural Health and another OHSU School of Nursing program, I-CAN.  The Oregon program addresses aging rural residents as a population at risk for significant health disparities and adverse social determinants of health. Interprofessional student teams in a primary care medical home do
in-home follow-ups for additional assessments.  Student teams follow-up with consultations with clinic staff and providers thus extending the reach of primary care providers in offering care to patients in the community.  Through the home visits, interprofessional teams have identified needs of aging rural residents that would not have been identified without the home visit, prompting new clinic visits and changes in care plans.  The rural residents and the providers acknowledge the added value to the provision of care.  

The presenters will provide insight into how this partnership was different than past partnerships, what had to change in order for them to be successful, and how their focus on the needs of older adults in the community contributed to benefits for all; including aging rural residents, the education partner and their students, and community partners and their staff.  The presenters will also highlight the ACE-15  tool, and how this tool contributed to their success.
