IN CASE YOU MISSED IT - Expanded Flu Vaccine Access
TEAM QUALITY:More Innovation for Members' Health
NEW - Mobile Mammogram Van
A pandemic does not stop our Quality team. They work with colleagues, as well as providers throughout the HPSJ Network, to help promote and deliver highest access to the Medi-Cal benefits and services we offer. Then they work diligently as we measure our effectiveness on behalf of our members' health outcomes.
Starting in August 2020, HPSJ engaged a vendor to provide ongoing mobile mammogram services. The Mobile Mammogram Van – from Alinea Medical Imaging – is now providing access for an essential preventive screening. In addition to the mobile van, added mobile mammogram scheduling is giving more options for HPSJ patients at their primary provider's locations. Van + schedule flexibility + location + PCP premises: Combined, these are helping decrease the kinds of inconvenience and other barriers we have been hearing about from our HPSJ members.
We are pleased to offer our HPSJ providers this service so they can encourage their HPSJ patients to get this essential, preventative screening at times - and at their office doorstep - in ways convenient for both patient and practice. To learn more about this mobile mammogram opportunity, and how you can host a screening day, go to www.alineamed.com or reach out to your Provider Services Representative.For more details, click on these flyers.
