Advancing Strategy 2 - Consumer-facing technology solutions to improve families’ connection to community supports
Goal 1: Convene families and organizations who have expressed interest in implementing at least one of solutions generated from the Healthy Jeffco Alliance client interview project. This project gathered data around systems navigation challenges families face when accessing care, particularly having to share their information over and over. Actionable solutions include:
- Increased use of peer navigators
- Reduction of unnecessary information collection
- Leveraging technology to improve data sharing (e.g., universal consent, My Chart, a phone app for consent)
- Shifting provider focus from role specific to patient centered
