TEAM Sugar Free
The purpose of the Training, Education, Access, and Management for a Life that is Sugar Free (TEAM Sugar Free) program is to improve the health of people with diabetes in the Mississippi Delta and North Mississippi. The TEAM Sugar Free program is a collaboration between regional and community partners working together to combat diabetes in our target area.
Pharmacy Intervention
The University of Mississippi Medical Center Department of Pharmacy currently collaborates with the Delta Health Alliance for a Medication Management program supported by Electronic Health Records (EHR's) in Coahoma, Panola, and Yazoo counties. Funds from the BLUES Beacon Community project will serve to expand this initiative to include new EHR locations and network with the Health Information Exchange system expansion through telephonic patient care management.
Health Information Exchange
A Health Information Exchange (HIE) is an electronic network that facilitates the movement of healthcare information electronically across organizations within a region, community, or hospital system. It is the goal of Beacon to connect all providers with electronic health records to a centralized, statewide HIE, which DHA will coordinate for all providers who serve Delta patients.
Electronic Health Records
Delta Health Alliance is at the forefront of developing and implementing Health Information Technology (HIT) in the state of Mississippi. The primary goal of this project is to implement Electronic Health Records in provider clinics across the Delta.
The Rural Health Scholars Program
From 2008-2011, the Delta Health Alliance has partnered with the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), School of Medicine to implement the Rural Health Scholars project. Initiated in the summer of 2008, the primary purpose of this project was to promote and encourage new healthcare physicians to choose careers in primary care in the rural Mississippi Delta.
Delta Pharmacy Patient Care Management
In July of 2008, the Delta Pharmacy Patient Care Management Project was implemented to evaluate the impact of pharmacists on clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes through provision of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) services and disease-specific education in underserved targeted areas of the Mississippi Delta. Specialized MTM efforts focused on the targeted gap disparities of asthma and diabetes, while generalized MTM centered on overall appropriate medication usage. The project’s aim is to work within community pharmacies to reach people in the community and help them identify how they can better treat their chronic diseases and use their medication.
Children's Oral Health
The overall goal of the Children’s Oral Health project is to improve the oral health outcomes of young children who attend licensed child care centers in targeted Mississippi Delta Counties. During the 2010-2011 cycle, the program targeted Coahoma, Leflore, Holmes, Sunflower, Issaquena, and Sharkey counties, which was a five county increase from the previous cycle.
Addressing the Delta Nursing Shortage
Through this project, Delta State University anticipates being able to effect sustainable growth in both the quantity and quality of nurses serving in our region, improve job satisfaction, and ultimately contribute to the region’s economic development through a healthier, more effective work force.
Improving Critical Care: VISICU
In an effort to address the lack of critical care access and the shortage of critical care physicians in the Mississippi Delta, the Delta Health Alliance is working with University Hospitals and Health Systems to offer the Improving Critical Care in the Mississippi Delta with VISICU program. The VISICU eICU® program at the University of Mississippi Health Care is also known as Intensiview℠. Designed as a highly advanced critical care patient monitoring system, the VISICU program provides a second layer of attention to critically ill patients, as well as support to their primary ICU care providers.
