2nd Annual Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Health Center Summit – a Culture interest event taking place on 2017-05-26 09:00:00 in United States
Join us May 26, 2017 in San Francisco, CA for our 2nd annual AA&NHPI Health Summit. The Summit will offer educational workshops on addressing social determinants for Asian American, Native Hawaii and Pacific Islanders in health centers. Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (AA&NHPIs) are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States and are highly diverse in their language and health needs, representing more than 50 ethnic groups and 100 languages. Nearly one million AA&NHPIs receive care at health centers. Health centers provide high quality, culturally and linguistically appropriate comprehensive primary care to these and other medically underserved communities, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Because of their multi-disciplinary approach to care that addresses both clinical and non-clinical health including social risk factors, health centers play a major role in addressing racial and ethnic health disparities. Who should attend: Health center administrators and front-line workers (clinical and enabling services staff, QI staff, finance staff), consumers and advocates of AA&NHPI health. Cost: .00 for Non-AAPCHO Members; Free for AAPCHO members. Where to stay: Please note we have a room block for the Hilton (where the conference will be) for a rate 9 for Thursday May 25th and Friday May 26th.

Summit Schedule (subject to change): 9:00 AM Welcome & Opening Remarks – Jeff Caballero, MPH, Executive Director, AAPCHO – Kenneth Tai, MD, Chief Medical Officer, North East Medical Services – Carolyn Wang Kong, MPH, Program Officer, Health Care and Coverage, Blue Shield of California Foundation 10:30 AM Keynote Panel WE COUNT!: OPPORTUNITIES FOR NATIONAL AND STATE EFFORTS ACTION ON DATA COLLECTION Currently, federal agencies are not required to count detailed data for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities (e.g., Chinese, Filipino, Asian Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Native Hawaiian, Chamorro, Samoan, Tongan, etc.). The availability and accuracy of disaggregated data is critical to addressing social determinants of health and health inequities for AA&NHPI health center populations. This is relevant even in the current political climate, when fears have been exacerbated because of the assumed links between the collection of data for immigration status, race and ethnicity, and country of birth. Hear from national advocates in data on current state and national efforts to expand and codify disaggregated data collection efforts critical for AA&NHPI serving health centers, and why this type of data collection is crucial at this political time. Moderator: Isha Weerasinghe MSc, Director of Policy and Advocacy, AAPCHO Speakers: – Tung Nguyen MD, University of California, San Francisco – Nia Aitaoto PhD, Co-Director, Center for Pacific Islander Health, University of Arkansas for Medical Services -Rosy Chang Weir, PhD, Director of Research, AAPCHO 12:00 PM Lunch 1:30 PM Concurrent Educational Sessions 1. DOCUMENTING YOUR IMPACT: TOOLS FOR ADDRESSING SDH & DEMONSTRATING VALUE (PRAPARE & ENABLING SERVICES) Data collection on enabling services has tremendous potential to help Community Health Centers identify and address the social determinants of health for communities they serve. AAPCHO collaborates with the National Association of Community Health Centers, Oregon Primary Care Association, and Institute for Alternative Futures to research and develop a tool called Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patient Assets, Risks, and Experiences, or PRAPARE. This session will describe culturally appropriate implementation of the tool as well as how use of this tool can help clinics better understand and address their patients social determinants of health. Moderator: Rosy Chang Weir PhD, Director of Research, AAPCHO Speakers: – Leinaala Kanana, Director of Community Health Services, Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center – Shane Chen, Chief Operations Officer, HOPE Clinic 2. TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES TO MULTIPLY YOUR IMPACT Once your health center is doing data collection + addressing SDOH, you can translate that effort out to have broader impacts. In addition to addressing the needs of patients, data collection and issue identification can impact community members and stakeholders beyond your health center, and in unexpected ways. Examples of impacts can be reimbursement, media attention, translating interventions into advocacy, and resource development. Learn more from experts in this session who have used data action strategies and storytelling to generate impact and results. Moderator: Heather Skrabak, Associate Director of Policy and Advocacy, AAPCHO Speakers: – Beverly Quintana, Communications Manager, AAPCHO – Julia Liou, MPH, Director of Program Planning and Development, Asian Health Services – Rhodora Ursua, MPH, Director of Programs, APPEAL 3:00 PMCoffee Break 3:30 PM Concurrent Educational Sessions 1. LANGUAGE ACCESS: MANAGING AND SUSTAINING MULTILINGUAL SERVICE MODELS Nationally, 32% of AA&NHPI health center patients prefer to be served in a language other than English (70% average at AAPCHO member health centers). Responding to the multilingual needs of limited English proficient (LEP) AA&NHPI health center patients pose unique challenges to sustaining and cultivating workforce and technology to ensure quality of care. Learn from veteran and emerging multi-lingual serving health centers nationally strategies and models for multilingual health care service delivery. Moderator: Jen Lee, Director of Community Services and Partnerships, AAPCHO Speakers: – Judy Nguyen, Patient Care Manager, Asian Health Services, Oakland, California – Shane Chen, Chief Operations Officer, HOPE Clinic, Houston, Texas 2. BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE LEGAL COMMUNITY TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH This session will provide a three part overview of the legal sector – at the national, regional and local level – with an emphasis on understanding how to build partnerships with legal organizations, focusing especially on immigration issues in the current political landscape. Participants will leave the session having gained an understanding of the legal landscape in their community, how to reach out to potential partners and allies, and where to look for opportunities to build resources to support immigrant and refugee patients who are at risk. Ellen Lawton, who directs the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership's national cooperative agreement with HRSA, will open with a brief overview of the national public interest legal community and how its work and mission aligns with health centers and PCAs.
