Patient Engagement

CHA is continually working to engage patients in health care design and delivery. The Patient Partner Project brings together patients and providers as they work on quality improvement and Patient Centered Medical Home certification. Patients collaborate with physicians, nurses, and other allied professionals as well as office personnel in workgroups, using data, theory, and personal experience to identify strategies to improve the quality of - and patient experience with - primary care in Humboldt County.
