- At Healthcare in Action, we serve patients experiencing homelessness through an innovative “street medicine” approach by contracting with Medicare and Medicaid health plans as well as hospitals and health systems.
- Street medicine entails using a medically equipped van to deliver medical care directly to people experiencing homelessness in locations such as parking lots, encampments, and parks.
- The Peer Navigator supports members who are experiencing/ are at risk of experiencing homeless with managing their own health in the San Fernando Valley area - specifically Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Reseda, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Encino.
- Assist in motivating behavioral changes in patients to improve health outcomes through education, peer support, housing & resource navigation, and the relaying of shared experiences.
- Some examples include and are not limited to the following: enter all patient touch points and encounter notes in HIA’s electronic health records system, member health risk, and update members’ Plan of Care after every street medicine encounter.
