Throughout his career John has often been asked something along the lines of “if you had $10M to invest for our Plan what would you do.” His answer: “give me $10M worth of community health workers and I’ll change the world.” Among the many benefits a health plan can offer, none yield more consistently positive results than a well-managed community health worker program. The reason for this is simple: there are few people that know patients better or care more deeply about their health than a community health worker. But CHW programs are human driven and human provided - and therefore fraught with challenges and easy pitfalls. Dr. Shreya Kangovi sought to set the record straight on the value of a well executed program through a robust academic trial that accounted for each and every piece of a CHW program. And the results were staggering. Her program, IMPaCT, is now the nationally recognized gold standard for CHWs. Here to discuss the keys to administering a successful CHW program and the day-in day-out passion and determination it takes to support a vulnerable patient are Dr. Shreya Kangovi and celebrated CHW Cherlynne Graham-Seay. Enjoy!

Community health workers could be the solution to some of our toughest health and social problems, so why is no one listening?Dr. Shreya Kangovi is an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and executive director of the Penn Center For Community Health Workers. In this remarkable conversation she passionately lays out what a community health worker is, how to find and hire them, what the results of 3 randomized controlled trials using them show, how they may be the best hope to cure the racial inequities in healthcare (and beyond), how to fund them, and how we can ALL advocate for social and racial justice in our medical practice.Links, video, and more at https://zdoggmd.com/shreya-kangovi, transcript coming soon there as well.Your support makes what we do possible!

Fighting Racial Inequity & Health Disparities (w/Dr. Shreya Kangovi)

Dear Friends &amp; Colleagues,On Friday March 27th 2020, I launched a limited podcast series addressing how the COVID-19 pandemic is reframing American healthcare.  You can find the introductory episode here.  In this series, I am interviewing future-facing, courageous healthcare leaders and entrepreneurs,  asking two questions: (1) How is the COVID-19 pandemic immediately changing the way you are delivering healthcare?  (2) How will COVID-19 reframe American healthcare for years to come? In this interview we’ll be speaking with Dr. Shreya Kangovi about Community Health Workers.  Community Health Workers are individuals who have been hired from their community, and given training and support to provide customized, culturally sensitive, non-clinical care.  Their focus is on the social determinants of health - at the individual level, and delivered in a highly personalized and relationally oriented way.  To my mind, this workforce and approach to care is one of the most untapped opportunities we have to reframe healthcare and create transformative change.  It addresses the overwhelming impact that the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) have on healthcare outcomes, utilization, costs and the experience of care. The issues of SDOH, chronic disease and disparities of care have been some of the fundamental problems in our healthcare system - problems the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and exacerbated.  One of the solutions to our present moment and to a better future is the focus of today’s discussion.Dr. Kangovi and her colleagues have pioneered a rigorous, evidence-based approach to building, deploying and measuring the impact of a Community Health Worker (CHW) program.  Dr. Kangovi is the founder &amp; executive director of the Penn Center for Community Health Workers - a national center of excellence dedicated to advancing health in low-income populations through CHW programs. She and her colleagues have spent nearly a decade creating and refining a world-class CHW model called IMPaCT™ (Individualized Management towards Patient-Centered Targets).  Now, they are offering this program to other institutions to encourage widespread deployment.In this interview, we’ll dive into the following:Six major problems in healthcare - caused and/or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic - that are leading to American deaths.What Dr. Kangovi refers to as the “structural racism” embedded in our healthcare delivery system - and what can be done to reverse it.A detailed description of the Community Health Worker approach to COVID-19 contact tracing, and...  The one critical question that drives the highly effective and personalized IMPaCT™ Community Health Worker approach.The Community Health Worker model is proven to be cost effective, replicable, and complementary. However, in order to implement this model throughout the country, we need a system of care that pays for outcomes, not for procedures or transactions.  Fee-For-Service payment is the “big but” in American healthcare. This has been a common mantra that has emerged in most of the interviews I’ve conducted during this pandemic.  If we shifted to a capitated, value-based payment approach (at least with primary care), we would be able to rapidly and easily deploy effective, humanistic solutions such as Community Health Workers.  From my perspective, one of the most important lessons the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us is that Fee-For-Service payment makes both providers and patients vulnerable. It is unsustainable, and frankly harmful to the health of the American public and the American economy.  It’s also not the type of compensation model that fosters meaningful, relationship-enhancing careers for primary care providers as well as specialists. We can talk about a lot of things, but until we fix this one major impediment, we will be propagating an out-dated and misaligned approach to healthcare delivery.  My hope is that this current crisis serves as a catalyst for changing that, and addressing many of the other fundamental flaws in our healthcare system, like disparities in care.  We need courageous leaders to speak up, step up, collaborate across the various stakeholders, and to take directed actions to create a new, and more humanistic, approach to healthcare.  Until next time, be safe and be well.Zeev Neuwirth, MD

Episode 99: ‘How COVID-19 is Reframing Healthcare in America’ with Dr. Shreya Kangovi 

Lisa Kidd

This week, we have two very exciting guests: Shreya Kangovi, an internist/pediatrician and researcher who studies CHW interventions and developed a multi-stakeholder team-based CHW model called IMPaCT (Individualized Management towards Patient-Centered Targets), and went on to found the Penn Center for Community Health Workers. These organizations work to deliver care to patients in Philadelphia, provide training and capacity building, as well as performing ongoing research. Our second guest, Lisa Kidd, is a CHW who works at the Penn Center and will join us to talk about her experiences as a CHW. You can find some of Dr. Kangovi’s publications here. If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us wherever you find us, it helps others find the show, and share us on social media and with our friends and colleagues. We’d love to hear feedback and suggestions, so you can tweet at us @RoSpodcast or @HMSPrimaryCare or drop me a line at contactATrospod.org.
