Community-Based Nurses
Meet Underserved Patients
continued from front page
coordination as well. CCOs aim to help
Medicaid-covered community members
manage chronic health conditions through
preventative care.
Building off OHSU’s success in
obtaining reimbursement for its commu-
nity-based programs, a team consisting of
OHSU and Adventist Health nurse leaders
and an OHSU health economist will work
with health insurance payors that operate
in Tillamook and Columbia counties. The
project team will explore how the Adventist
Health program’s services address the local
payors’ needs and priorities, and develop a
reimbursement proposal for the payors to
consider.
If they’re successful in making the
Adventist Health program’s services reim-
bursable, OHSU and Adventist Health hope
other hospitals and health systems could
use the project as a template and develop
similar, financially sustainable programs
throughout the U.S.
