Served in areas of health policy, cultural centric service delivery, and public engagement. Previously served a Project Manager for Lockheed Martin Corporation Training Director for the AIDs Education and Training Center-Multicultural Center (AETC-MC) at Howard University College of Medicine Senior Health Advisor/Project Officer to the Director at the Office of Minority Health Office of Assistant Secretary for Minority Health, and US Department of Health and Human Services.

Presentation Objectives Demonstrate how the CLAS and the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) drivers can be used to support health care delivery and patient-family engagement; Highlight how the Three TCPI Drivers can be used to improve clinical workflow and patient outcomes; and Provide the rationale and examples of patient-family in the delivery of patient-center care. Speaker Notes: Afternoon. First, I want thank all of you for taking time off your busy clinical practice to be part of this webinar series on Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI). I will provide an overview of the National Standards on Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Healthcare (CLAS) and how the TCPI drivers can be used to support health care delivery and patient-family engagement. I will also highlight how the Three TCPI Drivers can improve clinical workflow and patient-outs; and finally provide the rationale for engaging patients and family in the process of delivery patient-centered care. Time permitting, I we will take the opportunity to address any questions that you may have.

What Are Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Healthcare? Services that are respectful of and responsive to individual cultural health beliefs and practices, preferred languages, health literacy levels, and communication needs of patients and employed by all members of an organization (regardless of size) at every point of contact. Use CLAS as a tool to eliminate/reduce racial & ethnic health disparities Source: OMH National CLAS Standards, 2012 The 15 CLAS Standards were developed to provide pathways for delivering culturally and linguistically services to racially and ethnically diverse populations but to promote health equity, improve quality, and help eliminate health care disparities My premise is that these standards are applicable to all patients regardless of their racial/ethnic background and adaptable to all clinical settings. The take home messages are: services are respectful/responsive to the cultural health beliefs/practices/preferred languages, health literacy levels, and communications needs of patients.

National CLAS Standards Principal Standard Governance, Leadership and Workforce Communication and Language Assistance Engagement, Continuous Improvement, and Accountability 1 2-4 5-8 The enhanced CLAS Standards Breakdown by Theme: Principal Standard – Standard 1 Governance, Leadership and Workforce – Standards 2-4 Communication and Language Assistance – Standards 5-8 Engagement, Continuous Improvement, and Accountability – Standards 9-15 9-15

Enhanced CLAS Standards The National CLAS Standards are intended to advance health equity, improve quality, and help eliminate health care disparities by establishing a blueprint for health and health care organizations to: Principle Standard 1) Provide effective, equitable, understandable and respectful quality care and services that are responsive to diverse cultural health beliefs and practices, preferred languages, health literacy and other communication needs. Theme 1) 2-4: Governance, Leadership, and Workforce Theme 2) 5-8: Communication and Language Assistance Theme 3) 9-15: Engagement, Continuous Improvement, and Accountability The CLAS Standards emphasize the importance of promoting health equity, improve quality, and help eliminate health care disparities! Look at the language in Principle Standard—compliments “Patient-centered care”

1:Principle Standard Provide effective, equitable, understandable, and respectful quality care and services that are responsive to diverse cultural health beliefs and practices, preferred languages, health literacy, and other communication needs. Creates a safe/welcoming environment/appreciation of diversity/focuses on patient-centered care Individuals receive services in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner to enable them to meet their communication needs/understand their care & participate in their care To eliminate health disparities Providing respectful care that addresses the patients cultural and linguistic needs; cultural health beliefs and practices; preferred languages, and health literacy.

2: Advance and sustain governance and leadership that promotes CLAS and health equity through policy, practices and allocated resources (2-4: Governance, Leadership & Workforce) Mission statement/core values/vision statement-promoting health equity Commitment from top board, management leadership, Management/board set policy/program goals, development of strategic plan of promoting organizational diversity, providing CC care, eliminating health disparities; written policies, practices, procedures, programs, etc. Provide fiscal, human resources, tools, skills, and knowledge to support a culturally competent organization. The importance of having a mission statement—what are your core values of your practice If its going to happen—it comes from the leadership at the top. You’re the leader but you also want to develop your leadership team! The various components of your infrastructure are also critical to your success.

5-8: Educate and Train Governance, Leadership, and Workforce in CLAS CLAS education and training for professionals working in health/human services must be ongoing; Training should be based on sound educational principles (adult learning, pre-test, post-test, knowledge based, skill-based, attitude-based) Training in the areas of effective communication, health literacy, socio-economic status, race, ethnicity, effects of cultural differences in access heath and other human services; Applicable civil rights laws, Affordable Care Act of 2010, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, HHS Title VI Guidance for LEP Individuals. Integration of CLAS in agency training to ensure it becomes part of the organizational culture Standards 4-8 fall under the newly cast “Communication and Language Assistance” Theme Changing the name of Theme 2 from “Language Access Services” to “Communication and Language Assistance” broadens the understanding and application of appropriate services to include all communication needs and services, including sign language, Braille, oral interpretation, written translation, and others.

9: Infuse CLAS Goals, Policies, and Management Accountability Throughout the Organization’s Planning and Operations (9-15: Engagement, Continuous Improvement, and Accountability) Establish CLAS appropriate goals and policies for the delivery of cultural competent care based on health equity concepts/ideas CLAS should be embedded throughout various levels of the organization’s workforce (upper and lower management) CLAS should be core elements of the organization’s identity, mission, operating principles, service focus, budget/quality improvement activities Establish accountability mechanisms throughout the organization, staff evaluations, individuals’ satisfaction measures, and quality improvement measures What are your operational goals for the year? Are they based on outcomes for your patients? Quality improvement, accountability, feedback from your patients (satisfaction measures)

10: Conduct Organizational Assessments Conduct ongoing assessment (self-assessment) of the organization’s CLAS-related activities; Conduct a cultural audit using cultural and linguistic assessment tools (structural policies, procedures, and practices—barriers to care; positive/negatives) Use audit data to Integrate CLAS-related measures into continuous quality improvement activities Establish feedback “loops,” internally and externally, to continuing monitor and improve on your CLAS activities (service delivery) How do you assess your successes? Do you conduct audit on your service delivery models? How do address service barriers? Workflow issues?

11: Collect and Maintain Demographic Data Collect demographic data such as race, ethnicity, sex, language, and disability status; Use data to identify population groups within service area; Ensure equal allocation of organization resources; Use data to monitor/evaluate the impact of CLAS on health equity/outcomes/to inform service delivery. Data builds the story of your patients. What are their needs, trends, successes, areas to improve on, justified resources to address those needs.

12: Conduct Assessments of Community Health Assets and Needs Conduct regular assessments of community health assets and needs (needs assessment, resource inventory, gap analysis); Identify potential disparities in care or services; and Identify language and other needs of the community Plan/implement services that respond to the cultural & linguistic diversity of the populations in the service area Assessing the needs of the community? What are the major health disparities of the community? What are the linguistic needs of the community? How do you respond or address those needs?

13-14: Partner with the Community Health care entities should partner w/ the community to design, implement, and evaluate policies, practices, & services to ensure cultural/linguistic appropriateness (vehicle to build trust) Health care entities should use town hall meetings, hold community forums, and/or conduct focus groups, talking sessions, webinars, etc. to acquire stakeholder input Sponsor or participate in health fairs with community-based organizations, cultural festivals, and celebrations Building a relationship with your patient community; being a partner to build trust; using the partnership (s) to acquire stakeholder input on your services. Good partnerships and relationships result in maintaining your patient base but also expanding it. All these activities promote public engagement with the community.

CLAS Public Engagement This is what public engagement is all about.

15: Communicating the Organization’s Progress in Implementing and Sustaining CLAS Communicate to stakeholders, constituents, and general public of CLAS accomplishments; Helps build and sustains communication on CLAS priorities/fosters trust between community and service setting Helps meet community benefit requirements Serves as an accountability mechanism to the community but also part of continuous improvement process

TCPI AIMs/Goals Source: CMS, 2016 The TCPI AIMs/Goals serve as the foundation for the primary drivers of this new form of care delivery.

Primary Drivers Family and Patient-Centered Care Design: 1.1 Patient and family engagement--CLAS 1.2 Team-based relationships--CLAS 1.3 Population management--CLAS 1.4 Practice as a community partner--CLAS 1.5 Coordinated care delivery--CLAS 1.6 Organized, evidence based care--CLAS 1.7 Enhanced access to care--CLAS Continuous, Data-Driven Quality Improvement 2.1 Engaged and committed leadership--CLAS 2.2 Quality improvement strategy supporting a culture of quality and safety--CLAS 2.3 Transparent measurement and monitoring--CLAS 2.4 Optimal use of HIT Sustainable Business Operations 3.1 Strategic use of practice revenue--CLAS 3.2 Workforce vitality and joy in work--CLAS 3.3 Capability to analyze and document value--CLAS 3.4 Efficiency of operation--CLAS --The 15 CLAS standards compliments all three of Primary Drivers of the TCPI --Examples: Patient and family engagement; population management; enhanced access to care; --Continuous, Data-Driven Quality Improvement; engaged and committed leadership; Quality improvement; measurement and monitoring --Sustainable Business Operations; use revenue to market to new diverse patient base; diversifying workforce; ability to document value based on data and patient outcomes

How the Three TCPI Drivers—used to Improve Clinical Workflow/Patient Outcomes TCPI promotes patient-center care=putting the patient first—medicine is organized around the patient’s needs TCPI promotes efficient care, with superior coordination, information sharing—use of electronic health records, and teamwork across disciplines to produce value care and improve outcomes TCPI promotes developing the infrastructure of the private practice—good management/clinical team, fiscal management controls, performance measures, data collecting platforms, and analytics --The leader in the practice must take charge—it starts from the top to create a culture of patient-center care that focuses on performance and outcomes --improving processes to reduce errors, waste, and improve outcomes (CLAS use of medical interpreters to make gather patient history, correct diagnosis, and to prescribe right treatment --care coordination --lean management—developing a process improvement culture --use of data to make the case—building the evidence for certain interventions

Patient-Family Engagement in the Deliver of Care Raising awareness and enlisting patients to manage their own health—use of electronic personal health records Work to increase communication between the patient and provider Helping patients understand the referral process to specialist Addressing barriers that may interfere with appointments Conducting short surveys on patients to identify gaps and/or feedback on their care; areas to improve Using a team-approach so that everyone is on the same page Sources: Academy of College of Physicians Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative Change Package: March, 2016 --encouraging and coaching patients to use personal health records --listening to their needs—explaining treatment or options --health literacy/language barriers --transportation, financial, need for an interpreter or family presents

Summary CLAS Standards promote health equity, effective, understandable, and respective quality care—compliment patient-centered care and three drivers of the TCPI The Three TCPI Drivers improve clinical workflow and patient outcomes by focusing on putting the patient first TCPI promotes the importance of infrastructure of the private practice Patient engagement-coaching the patient to manage their own health Increasing better communication between patient and the provider Assisting patients to understand the referral process to specialist Addressing other barrier of care Establish a feed-back loop for feedback from patients (conducting short surveys) Using a team-approach so that everyone is on the same page --CLAS Standards support patient-centered care and the three drivers of TCPI --Patient and Family-Center Care Design, Continuous, Data Driven Quality Improvement, and Sustainable Business Operations --medicine is organized around the patient’s care needs; promotes efficient care coordination, information sharing among clinical staff, and team-approach—produce value care/improve outcomes --instituting a performance based management/clinical team, fiscal controls, performance measures, data collection platforms, and analytics
