Through this interactive, case-based, executive education program, you will learn how two leading health care organizations have implemented successful strategies for managing their unique patient populations.
For example, the Camden Coalition’s Care Management model addresses health care, housing, and other social needs in an integrated fashion – which could be helpful for the development of new strategic approaches in your organization. The Kaiser Permanente Complete Care model addresses how quality improvement and systems thinking were integrated into the new initiative, Depression Care Management, with successes and challenges in consistent implementation across a national organization.”

Annual Hotspotting Hub Meeting
Host: National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs
Date: November 15, 2017
Time: 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
This event is for Student Hotspotting participants only. To learn more about the program contact Gladys Antelo at gantelo@camdenhealth.org.
The National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs believes that in order to deliver better care we must provide better training for our next generation of caregivers. In 2014 the Camden Coalition partnered with AAMC and Primary Care Progress to start the Interprofessional Student Hotspotting Learning Collaborative.
The Interprofessional Student Hotspotting Learning Collaborative is an annual program that trains interdisciplinary teams of professional students from schools around the country to learn to work with complex medical and social needs using a patient-centered approach.
In 2017 the Interprofessional Student Hotspotting Learning Collaborative accepted four institutions (Samuel Merritt University, Southern Illinois University, Thomas Jefferson University, and University of Utah) to act as regional hubs to scale-up the Student Hotspotting model across the country.
The Annual Student Hotspotting Hub Meeting takes place November 15 as a precursor to the 2017 Putting Care at the Center conference. The meeting will give participants at the regional hubs a chance to connect and set goals for the 2017 - 2018 year.
