Steps to Success: A Toolkit for Community Health Centers Navigating a Capital Development Venture
Health centers hoping to undertake a capital development project quickly discover that is a complex endeavor. Projects are much more manageable when health centers follow a methodical process with an emphasis on clear project goals and an organized plan to achieve them. Capital Link’s new toolkit will provide health centers with the fundamental building blocks to create a foundation for successful project completion. Access the Toolkit here.
User-Friendly Online HRSA Health Center Compliance Manual
The Health Center Program Compliance Manual is now available online in an easy-to-use format. The updated look-and-feel allows users to navigate directly to specific chapters and sections, and it includes a new “Ask It Now!” button that links to the BPHC Helpline. The entire Compliance Manual is still available as a PDF for downloading as well.
Coming Soon – New Resources to Help Health Centers Measure Cost of Care
Capital Link is developing two new resources to help health centers better understand their cost of care, plus interactive tools so health centers can measure their unique cost structures and compare them to peers. In partnership with NACHC, Capital Link is updating an issue brief entitled Cost Per Visit – Measuring Health Center Performance, reinforcing basic methodologies for calculating cost as the platform for transitioning from a visit-based reimbursement model to one that is patient-based. This issue brief will also incorporate information related to measuring costs for oral and behavioral health care, which were not included in the original document. In addition to the issue brief, Capital Link is further exploring the components of health center costs with a four-year trends analysis across a series of cost-focused ratios. Scheduled for completion in March, we will provide key findings from these new resources at the NACHC Policy & Issues Forum in our workshop Understanding Your Cost of Care (see date and time information below under Events).
