Our patients and program participants regularly offer input on their challenges to meeting health needs beyond the services provided by HFSCs inpatient and outpatient programs. Both inpatient and outpatient satisfaction and outcomes surveys offer insight to health needs and access to community care. HFSCs Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), established in 2020, invites input on topics of concern to individuals using hospital services. Facility: - Part V, Section B, Line 11 Access to Care / Health Equity - Rated as High Impact, Hard to Implement. To ensure access to coordinated, patient-centered specialty care and care management services, HFSC will provide care to existing and new patients in our medical home programs and advocate on systems issues. Issues include reimbursement for care coordination. Methods will include: Offering multidisciplinary clinics so outpatients can see all clinicians in one visit; Continuing the use of telehealth visits when appropriate to provide continuity of care; Serving as a resource for medically complex children and adults (accepting Medicaid for all programs); Providing evidence of the success of HFSCs models of care; Improving access by continually marketing across all channels to create awareness of HFSCs programs, making the community, other healthcare organizations, and payors aware of HFSC.Autism Services - Rated as High Impact, Easy to Implement. HFSC will continue to add capacity to serve more children and adolescents with ASD; Welcoming new patients to our medical home program for autism; Continue expanding offered services such as adding a PHP program for patients 18-26 years of age in 2025; Developing new services, including special needs swimming lessons; Creating a dental desensitization program for children with ASD Health Care.Workforce Shortages - Rated as High Impact, Hard to Implement. At HFSC, weve invested in building the pipeline for years, helping to create the New Britain High School Health Academy and providing high school students with experiential learning opportunities, partnering with every major academic program in the state to provide clinical internships and residencies. We have collaborated with Connecticuts workforce development leaders to expand training for certified nursing assistants. The pandemic impacted our ability to host students in our hospital, but these programs have returned. Our donors have funded scholarships to help students manage the high cost of nursing, physical therapy and medical education. Develop a robust provider recruitment and retention strategy for advance practice providers and physicians, especially psychologists and neurologists; Further explore opportunities to work with foreign-trained providers; Begin Indeed Direct Hire partnership for key clinical roles; Select and implement additional recruitment & retention strategies; Consider expanding the Academy concept to train potential Behavior Specialists to work with ASD patients both at HFSC and other health care organizations; Continue support for high schools and colleges who are training health care professionals, by offering LTACH level of care rotations and shadowing experiences to student groups; Continue funding scholarships for students entering health care professions.Increasing Physical Activity Levels - Rated as High Impact, Easy to Implement. Following reductions in safety precautions required by the pandemic, the HFSC fitness programs have resumed. Our Adaptive Sports program and member support to our Aquatic and Fitness Center are constrained by our ability to raise philanthropic dollars. Programs will: Offer opportunities to reduce obesity, encourage heart-healthy lifestyles; Introduce individuals to adaptive sports and inclusive recreation programs, designed for their ability levels; Expand our Adaptive Sports Camp, adding an autism track in 2025, our 35th year of camp; Develop Leisure Nights for children with ASD, preparing them to participate in our sports and fitness programs.
