PVCH launched the patient portal for our family medicine clinic in April 2022, which allows access to healthcare results and messaging. PVCH continues to offer family telemedicine clinic visits. PVCH family medicine clinic implemented home visits in February 2023.Affordable Care - PVCH decreased the outpatient charges for physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, imaging charges and lab by 1/3 on July 1, 2021, and again by 1/3 in January 1, 2022. PVCH has a financial assistance program available to all patients meeting the program's guidelines. PVCH is an active participant along with KHA to support Medicaid expansion in Kansas. A Case Manager is actively working with acute and swing bed patients to transition away from Medicare Advantage programs that are not meeting their health coverage needs and assisting them with application for Medicaid, etc. if applicable.Awareness of Health Services - A Marketing/Communications/Community Relations position was added at PVCH in November 2021. PVCH has also contracted with a marketing firm to assist with understanding which services are of greatest need for our community. The firm identifed inpatient and outpatient rehab and inpatient respiratory therapy. A full marketing campaign for family medicine services and rehab services was kicked off in January 2023 and continues with radio, news articles, and social marketing. PVCH also participates in local Larned Area Chamber Coffee and After Hours to highlight our health services. Administration, providers, and associates attended more community events in Pawnee County and surrounding area to inform people of our services such as Coffee Hours in Great Bend and Burdett and United Way of Central Kansas events. A new website went live in August 2023 which highlights services and allows for increased search engine optimization (SEO) words, allowing our services to appear readily when people search with those words online.Women's Health (Maternal &amp; Fetal, Breastfeeding, etc.) - PVCH added in 2022 a family medicine provider who has over 20 years of women's health services experience to our family medicine clinic. PVCH has initiated a weight loss program for women in 2022 and currently provides consultations and birth control options for women of all ages and annual women's health visits. Pawnee County Health Department currently provides maternal/fetal and breast feeding resources and education. Pawnee County Health Department has free home, Healthy Start Home Visit. Our providers will refer patients to them if they feel there is a need for a new mother. (Education and support in addition to breastfeeding support for expecting mothers). PVCH is actively working on the addition of a pediatric experienced nurse practitioner in our family medicine clinic and performing additional procedures including women's procedures in the family medicine clinic.</ExplanationTxt>
