ACT Ozark Coalition
ACT Ozark Started as a community collaborative with 15 organizations. We became an “official” Coalition in May 2016. Over 194 members with average quarterly attendance of 60. Three areas of focus.
ACT Ozark Committees Chronic Disease Management Medication Safety Sepsis (protocol for early identification) Standardized COPD and CHF education materials Medication Safety IV Antibiotic Administration for LTC/SNF Parameter Monitoring (Vanc Peaks & Troughs) Gaps in Service Resource compilation Volunteer care (church nurses) Standardized home risk assessment tool
Tracking Readmission Rates
Benefits of Coalition Participation Expanded resources for your patients. Guides a “shared goal” for the healthcare community. Fosters integration between community providers. Builds synergy through idea sharing. Great networking opportunity (for more than just care transitions)
