Community Health Worker, 12 Hours, Revere

2 months ago

Somerville, United States Mass General Brigham (Enterprise Services) Full time
Description

General Overview

A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a trusted member of the community who helps patients' better access and coordinate their health care. CHWs have the skills and experience to understand what patients are going through and help them get through difficult times. CHWs are people who come from the communities they serve. CHWs act as caring neighbors to help patients address the social and medical problems that lead to poor health.

This position will support a new pilot program between Mass General Brigham and Walgreens Pharmacy. The MGB-Walgreens partnership aims to provide access to care in the community in which the patient resides, regardless of PCP system affiliation and/or insurance status. The partnership includes three clinical care locations within three (3) Walgreens sites; Lynn, Revere, and Roxbury. Our goal is to bridge care between those in the community and the PCP office for those who have encountered problems with access, for whatever reason. The three (3) clinic locations will be staffed with a provider (Nurse Practitioner/Resident/Doctor), Walgreens Pharmacist, and a community health worker. This team can help to address all aspects of a community member's care.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

* Work with the patient to identify and help to address barriers to care.
* Provide culturally sensitive services to patients from different cultures.
* Help the patient to put systems in place in their environment to assist with the management of their care.

On-Site Operations
* Spread awareness and offerings to prospective and current patients of MGB by engaging with the community in a retail setting.
* Coordinate with the provider and Walgreens staff to set up equipment and materials at the start of clinic hours and to close out each shift.

* Adapt to changes in store layout and/or clinic structure and maintain quality of care.
* Communicate with the Operations Manager and/or Medical Director when stock is low for materials and equipment.
* Provide feedback and offer solutions to operational workflow issues as arise.
* Be nimble and flexible to navigate isolated circumstances. Must be able to deal with ambiguity.

System Navigation, Health Coaching and Care Coordination
* Help to address any logistic barriers, scheduling complications, childcare needs, etc., that would prevent a patient from returning to the clinic for follow-up care.
* Assist patients in organizing their records, making follow-up appointments, and filling their prescriptions.
* Help patients develop their plans for getting to various appointments for screening and diagnostic tests, and treatment services.
* Provide education on specialty, imaging, or other appointments when needed for added support and advocacy.
* Follow up on key aspects of the patient's care to assess the in-home barriers to compliance and engage patients in addressing their barriers.

Collaboration and Documentation
* Maintain regular communication with the patient's providers through clinical messages in the electronic health record, emails, phone calls, and case review meetings.
* Document each patient encounter in detail. Track benchmarks of progress in care - including short-term goal completion along the way.
* Work with providers to reinforce health education messages - the importance of follow-up care, medication adherence, routines of self-care, etc.
* Refer to internal or external care management services when other issues are identified (i.e. food insecurity, domestic violence, etc.)
* Help patients fill out applications for community services such as Medical Assistance and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
* Provide advocacy, patient education, and support in accessing community-based and hospital-based programs.
* Enter notes of intervention into the appropriate electronic health record.
