Centers will receive 20 patient care kits for virtual visits and distribute them to patients for remote monitoring of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, depression, and more, said a news release from the Kentucky Primary Care Association. Clinic staff will also receive various technical assistance tools from NACHC, with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Cheryl Modica, director of the Quality Center at NACHC, said “White House Clinics brings a wealth of experience implementing at-home care through their work with the Million Hearts self-measured blood pressure initiative” of the federal government. The project is designed to capture data through June 2021. “We are excited and extremely honored to be one of 20 health centers chosen for this initiative from a pool of national applicants,” Stephanie Moore, CEO of White House Clinics, said in the release. “We believe it speaks to our commitment to innovation and to continuously seeking ways to better support our patients in the management of their chronic illnesses.”
David Bolt, CEO of the Primary Care Association, said “The selection of White House Clinics for this national pilot project is another example of the value and quality of care provided by our community health center partners. . . . These centers now provide one in eight Kentuckians with a medical home and holistic care, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. Just like this project aims to transform at-home care, our community health centers are transforming Kentucky’s health-care system.”
