What was one of the highlights our team took away from the 2024 National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) CHI & Expo Conference in Atlanta? The knowledge we gained listening to the presentation made by our teammate, Kati Moran, and Lisa Jones and Anna Marini from the Duffy Health Center, and Michele "Chrissy" Kuahine, from the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, which explored how community health centers can develop culturally competent digital health employees to meet the diverse needs of their patients. The work being done in this vein is vitally important, as health center leaders craft solutions to enhance patient-centered care in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

How can community health centers enhance their high-risk maternity care programs with data-driven strategies? Working in partnership with our Arcadia colleagues we: - Connected our electronic health record (EHR) data to Arcadia's platform. - Scheduled annual Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) screenings for our members to determine what their needs were. - Used the information we collected for care management assessments. The data allowed us to effectively identify high-risk members and provide them with the care they needed.
