From: Region X Northwest Public Health Training Center
On Tuesday, July 25, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, in the July session of Hot Topics in Practice, Kristen Beiers-Jones, MN, Faculty-in-Residence with the Interprofessional Care Access Network (I-CAN) reviews how population health nurses in Oregon are moving upstream to address these barriers. In this presentation, Beiers-Jones will use case studies to explore how language and cultural challenges can lead to the loss of insurance coverage, missed appointments, low medication adherence, and reduced trust in health systems. She will review how her interprofessional student teams use data to explore and advocate for system-level solutions to these problems, sharing lessons learned that may apply to other vulnerable populations.
