Migrant Health Newsline, Issue 1, 2013 by the National Center for Farmworker Health

How much do you know about your health center's Board of Directors? Do you know who makes up your health center board and what populations are represented? Your health center plays a vital role in the community it serves. Therefore, the members of a health center board should be a reflection of that community. As part of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Program Requirements, migrant and community health centers must have a farmworker representative on the board if that health center serves the farmworker community. Many benefits exist to having a farmworker board member. Although finding, recruiting, and keeping a farmworker representative on the board may sound like a difficult task, in this issue of Migrant Health Newsline, you will learn why this is so important, how it can be done successfully, and you will read about a health center's efforts to do just that. 

This webinar is the third in a series of seven in our Clinician Orienatation to Migration Health.

This is a nice example of a screen shot for documenting self-management goals in EHR and the kind of thing centers want to see as they develop their tools. This can be adapted any number of ways. 

OneWorld Community Health Center created a demographic extended table and put it in on a medical record pop-up template for tracking self management goals. This grid can be displayed on other templates or the popup can be launched from other templates depending on the workflows.   

This webinar is the first in a series of seven in our Clinician Orienatation to Migration Health.

Migrant Clinicians Network and Migrant Health Promotions recommend strategies for increasing clinician involvement in consumer board member recruitment.

"What is your role in recruiting consumer board members?" is an Implementation Plan for Increasing Consumer Board Members at FQHCs.

Additionally, MCN and MHP have created a template for a recruitment poster to hang in your clinic. Feel free to take this tool and adapt it for the unique needs of your site.

This blog post from the North Carolina Medical Board discusses issues around physician burnout. The blog states: "Burnout among physicians has reached epidemic proportions since it was first described among human services workers in the 1970s. When physicians experience overload, loss of control (autonomy) and a lack of reward (perceived or real) for their contributions, their risk for emotional exhaustion, otherwise known as the burnout syndrome, is astronomical. When physicians begin the downward spiral into burnout, they no longer contribute with their leadership and motivational energy. Instead, they become needy and unintentionally sap energy away from the group. Worse, this syndrome is highly contagious and can systematically infect a whole practice or clinic by reducing meaningful contact among its individual members."

The Health Center Recruitment and Retention Review Tool is designed to support on-going recruitment and retention of qualified clinical staff at health centers funded by the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Health Centers Consolidation Act of 1996.

The Health Center Recruitment and Retention Effectiveness Review (RRER) instrument is designed to support on-going recruitment and retention of qualified clinical staff at health centers.
