This document summarizes a webinar on taking boards of directors of community health centers to the next level. It discusses the requirements for board authority and composition from HRSA and describes three styles of nonprofit boards: fiduciary, strategic, and generative. Fiduciary boards focus on compliance, strategic boards use strategic plans to guide priorities, and generative boards think visionarily to improve the organization. The document provides tips for moving boards from fiduciary to strategic and generative styles through assessment, strategic questioning, and resource recommendations.
Patient Satisfaction Surveys are one of the easiest ways for Community Health Centers to evaluate the quality of care being provided, as well as the needs of the patient population.

Unprecedented transformation is reshaping our nation's healthcare delivery system. In this post- ACA environment, providers are increasingly dependent on the government as a payor. At the same time, regulators and governing bodies at the local, state and federal level determine the ever-changing rules and regulations through which providers operate. Through all of this, one thing is clear: having a well-established government relations program has never been more important to achieving a health care organization’s strategic business goals.
Given the increasing role government relations is playing in a health system’s success, leaders across the country are rethinking how they invest in, structure and staff their programs. General counsels at some health systems are very involved in these efforts, others less so. Join us to learn why you and your organization should be assessing your approach to and management of government relations. David Jarrard and Magi Curtis will share industry insights and best practices as well as hard data from a nation-wide benchmark project they recently published that looks at how hospitals and health systems are approaching government relations.

Cabarrus Rowan Community Health Center (CRCHC), located in Concord, NC, had to adapt quickly and are now one of the state's testing centers. Participants will learn how one health center changed their clinical practices in order to meet the care of their community and also ensured that staff was ready to provide care.
Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

4. Review the HRSA requirements for Board
Authority and Board Composition
Understanding board styles:
◦ Fiduciary, Strategic and Generative
Tips and resources on moving your board to
generative thinking
5. Responsibilities of the Board (Chapter 19: Board
Authority)
‒ Hold monthly meetings with quorum
‒ Selection, approval of and termination (if applicable) of the CEO/ED
‒ Approval of the health center’s annual budget and applications (SAC,
CIS)
‒ Approval of health center sites, locations, hours of operations
‒ Performance evaluation of the health center
‒ Establishing, adopting and evaluating health center policies
‒ Ensuring health center complies with federal, state and local laws
‒ Long-range strategic planning at least once every three years
(including financial management and capital expenditure needs)
https://bphc.hrsa.gov/programrequirements/compliancemanual/chapter-19.html#titletop
6. Responsibilities of the Board (Chapter 20: Board
Composition)
‒ Board size between 9-25 members
‒ 51% of board members are patients served by the health center
‒ Patients of the board (as a group) represent individuals who are served
by health center in terms of demographic factors (race, ethnicity and
gender)
‒ Non-patient members are representative of the community served by
the health center or the health center’s service area
‒ No more than one-half of the non-patient board members derive more
than 10% of their annual income from the health care industry
https://bphc.hrsa.gov/programrequirements/compliancemanual/chapter-20.html#titletop
7. Foundation of the existence of Community
Health Centers
Part of the Health Center Program
◦ It’s the law (Section 330 funding)
Notice of Funding Award (NOFA) is the legal contract
between the board and the funding agency
Health Center requirements are the floor,
NOT the ceiling
8. Important to understand the basics of what is
required to move to the next level
Moving to the next level requires:
◦ Understanding governance (mentorship of new
board members & orientation)
◦ Participation
◦ Educational development
Board member and board goals
◦ Being malleable and open to new things (curbing
founder’s syndrome)
9. Three types of non-profit boards
Fiduciary Boards
◦ Minimum
Strategic Boards
◦ Middle
Generative Boards
◦ High functioning
10. Strictly oversight and policy
“Have we checked all the boxes that HRSA wants us to
follow?”
Usually based on the HRSA Compliance Manual and
Operational Site Visit (OSV) Protocol
Did we approve Form 5A & B?
Using resources effectively and efficiently
“Can the budget support what we are doing?”
“The clinical data says our diabetic patients have good
control”
Minimal discussion documented in board meeting
minutes
11. Focused on strategic priorities and drivers for the
organization
Use the strategic plan as a guide
◦ “Are we following what we said we would do?”
Structure of the board is flexible
◦ Committees are formed around strategic priorities
◦ Consent agenda is used so the board can spend more time on
strategic work
Board and staff discuss strategic data from multiple
sources
◦ Data is at a higher level and comes from a variety of stakeholders
Ex. Diabetes control is compared to local, state, national and other
health centers with a similar organizational size
12. Board that is visionary
◦ What is the bigger purpose?
◦ Board thinks through and picks apart different organizational components
to challenge and improve the health center
Meetings are spent seeking more information, questioning
assumptions and challenging conclusions
◦ Advocates for solutions based on analysis
“Why” doesn’t matter; it’s the meaning behind it
◦ Ex. what is the meaning behind the increase of diabetes in our
community?
◦ Big picture discussion and questions vs. current operations and strategic
priorities
◦ What will be the difference with our health center between now and in 5
years?
◦ What do we want our health center’s legacy to look like?
◦ If we were to merge with another health center, who would we choose and
why?
13. Most important work that takes place is when boards
identify and discern what the important challenges,
problems, opportunities and questions are
Example Questions:
◦ What if we lost our federal funding?
◦ What are the 2 biggest external factors that impact our
organization?
◦ How would we respond if things changed in these
environments? Ex. Covid-19 almost all not prepared
How can we proactively prepare to be adaptive?
How do we work with others to address this complex
challenge?
What do we need to know about this before we take action?
14. Strategic Questions
Do we approve the strategic
plan developed?
What programs need
funding?
What is our desired future?
What is the list of strategies
needed to achieve our
goals?
What are the outcomes?
Generative Questions
How do we create and
guide the development of
the plan?
What do our patients need?
How do we consider the
current reality and move
towards our desired future?
How do we capture any
unanticipated outcomes?
How do we expand the
essence of this great idea?
15.
16. Complete a board assessment
◦ Complete a board matrix to determine the needs of
the board
◦ HRSA’s requirement for boards are the minimum
framework
Start small
◦ If the board is working at a fiduciary level, ensure
that is being completed based on local, state,
federal and applicable non-profit laws
(Roberts Rule of Orders, HRSA, etc.)
17. Move into Strategic Governing
◦ Use of a Consent Agenda
Consent Agenda
◦ Items that do not need any discussion or routine
procedures or are already unanimous consent
◦ Allows the board to approve items together
Approval of Minutes
Routine matters such as committee reports
Reports provided for information only
◦ Items can be pulled from the consent agenda for
discussion from the board
HRSA approvals should NOT be in the consent
agenda
18.
19. Add Generative questions to the end of the board
meeting for discussion
◦ What was the most important problem we tackled in the
last year?
◦ What was the most important lesson we learned in the
process?
◦ What should be atop of the board’s agenda next year?
◦ What are we overlooking that would put our health
center at risk?
◦ What is the most valuable step we could take to be a
better board?
