Recap
This is the name of the clinic that Sandy Lozano is executive director of.
Light of the World
These are the people who can be uninsured.
Anybody
Pinder's TED Talk argues that the lack of this in the healthcare system is the primary reason for unpredictable costs.
Price Transparency
Data reveals that significant gaps in these 2 factors relate to maternal health inequities.
Race & Education
These are a flexible form of free clinic, adapting to the fast-paced and growing needs of today’s healthcare system.
Mobile Clinics
This is 1 of 3 challenges that Florida faces with affordable healthcare.
No Medicaid expansion, high insured rates, OR provider shortages
This is the leading cause of personal backruptcy.
Medical Bills
Pinder's team found that a $200 echocardiogram in Brooklyn cost this much in Manhattan.
$2,150
Uninsured women are more likely to do what when it comes to prenatal care.
Delay or skip it
A pilot study applied this model of healthcare for uninsured diabetes patients, as discussed during the presentation.
The Chronic Care Model
These are the two models of care discussed during the seminar.
Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) & Accountable Care Organization (ACO)
This is the percentage of dollars spent in healthcare include unnecessary tests, procedures and visits.
30%
Making healthcare prices public could benefit consumers in this way.
Lower insurance bills & premiums
Data showed that these two racial/ethnic groups have the lowest percentage of live births in early prenatal care.
1) American Indian / Alaska Native
2) African-American
This percentage of our healthcare dollars pays for preventive services.
4%
These are the services that Lozano's clinic has performed as mentioned during the patient encounters summary.
Medical visits, labs, imaging, prescriptions, referrals
These two things were discussed in Shaun Young's TED Talk as a powerful formula for controlling the cost of healthcare.
1) Personal Responsibility
2) Healthcare Consumerism
This is the "call to action" that Pinder expresses to her audience.
To encourage that everybody know the true price of healthcare, leading to a healthier and more transparent healthcare system.
This is one way that free clinics play a role in maternal health.
1) Provides low-cost/no-cost prenatal services for uninsured/underinsured
2) Helps reduce delays in care and improve maternal/infant outcomes
3) Acts as essential safety net in addressing disparities
This is referred to as the "wrong pocket problem" in Nancy Oriol's TED Talk.
The pocket that would pay for the prevention services is not likely to be the one that sees the benefit of the prevention services.
These are the 7 priority areas of the Florida State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP).
1) Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
2) Chronic Diseases & Conditions
3) Injury, Safety, & Violence
4) Maternal & Child Health
5) Mental Well-Being & Substance Abuse Prevention
6) Social & Economic Factors Contributing to Health
7) Transmissible & Emerging Diseases
Provide an example of "shopping for healthcare".
A patient with high BP is prescribed medication. Instead of filling it at the first pharmacy, they compare prices at three different locations: a chain pharmacy, a local independent pharmacy, and an online service. They discover the same medication costs $80 at the chain, $45 at the independent, and $25 online with a discount program. The patient chooses the online option in order to save money.
Pinder argues that making healthcare prices public is not only a consumer issue, but also a potential solution to improving the overall system through this concept.
Market Competition
These are at least 3 barriers contributing to maternal health disparities.
1) Lack of Insurance
2) Financial Insecurity
3) Transportation
4) Language
5) System Distrust
The Chronic Care Model resulted in these 3 improvements in healthcare.
1) Significant A1C reduction
2) Improved self-management goals
3) High patient satisfaction
