OVERVIEW

August has brought many new and exciting changes to the Crossroad Volunteer Internship Program (C-VIP). Interns are working toward the standardization of all patient exam rooms, updating file folders and making progress towards ensuring all drawers and cabinets contain all the same supplies. The interns have coordinated with the Clinical Coordinator, Kyle Vath, on this project and are hoping to free providers to spend more time treating the patient. The interns are thrilled in regards to the completion of the Pre-Visit Planning Room. They hope to assist in ensuring a more comprehensive visit for patients and promoting the Patient-Centered Medical Home model of care. Additionally, the interns are helping to coordinate the Tobacco Treatment Group (TTG). Several of the interns have been trained to lead focus groups of patients, and will be working alongside medical and pharmacy students. In preparation for the start of the class, interns have been calling patients who are identified as current smokers, gauging attitudes of patients in regards to the TTG and registering those interested for the first class. Interns are continuing to develop strategy for the ACE study, track patient referrals and complete inbox tasks. Finally, the interns are looking forward to welcoming Rotation Class γ to the program!

REFLECTIONS

"In my work at CRHC and with NextGen, I have realized the need to improve the system of gathering and analyzing data and information so that healthcare providers can focus more time on integrating and utilizing information to make more meaningful steps to improving patient health."

"They had decided to check her potassium as a precaution. This made it even more exciting to see them respond so quickly to the news, immediately calling the patient and having her to the emergency room."
