Webinar: Telehealth in Colorado
(recorded 9/30/2020) The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to indefinitely change how health care is delivered, accessed and paid for. Expanded use of telehealth services is just one aspect of care that can greatly impact cost, care and outcomes long-term. Access this webinar for a walk-through of CIVHC's new Telehealth Services Analysis and to learn about trends and opportunities to improve access to care in these times.
Webinar: Explore Advance Care Planning
(recorded 4/22/2020) The COVID-19 pandemic has made advance care planning a more pressing issue for many Coloradans. While there’s much we can’t control, we can make informed decisions to give the people closest to us the power to confidently make health care decisions for us in the event that becomes necessary. All adults should make time for these conversations, but they’re especially important for those who are over 60 years old and are living with chronic health conditions such as heart, lung or kidney disease or cancer. Listen to this webinar to explore this topic further, featuring Melissa Davis, a licensed clinical social worker with The Denver Hospice and Optio Palliative Care.
Webinar: Advance Care Planning Overview (NHDD)
(recorded 4/16/2020) National Health Care Decisions Day (NHDD), held annually in April, is an initiative to encourage people to express their wishes regarding healthcare and for providers and facilities to respect those wishes, whatever they may be. It’s important to understand that NHDD is not only about end-of-life care but is meant to reach a much broader spectrum so that every individual may have their healthcare wishes met. In this webinar recorded on this year's April 16th event, Hilary Lum, MD, PhD, will provide an overview of Advance Care Planning, why it is important for everyone and how to get started, or continue, on your Advance Care Planning journey.
Webinar: Top 10 Things to Know About The MOST Form
This is a brief overview of the 10 things you should know about the MOST form (Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment). In this 30 minute webinar Hillary Lum, MD, PhD, will highlight the key things that social workers, administrators, admissions/sales team, providers and others should know when working with the MOST.
Creating County Level Profiles to Facilitate Community Assessments
Public Health in the Rockies Session, August 28, 2019
Data doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating, but in a world where we are inundated with information, it’s often difficult to know where to start. This session will teach you to use free, publicly available, cross-sector data to build profiles of your target population, allowing you to focus your efforts, dive deeper into possible correlations, design effective interventions, and track progress towards achieving your health outcomes goals.
