Goals for 2020-2023 is to meet all the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).  This new strategic plan is aligned with Indian Health Service’s Strategic Strategy (FY 2019-2023) which specifically relates to the priority of Quality Improvement.  As outlined, UICSL is preparing for AAAHC recognition (2021) by implementing a Patient Center Medical Home (PCMH) model of care, while at the same time, improving and updating our existing policies, procedures, workflows, and staff engagement.  

For the 2020 year, we have identified three major objectives: (1) To modernize our antiquated system by using HIT (Health Information Technology) model set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services. (2) To enhance our (already) robust Behavioral Health services. This has been identified as a top priority and is considered a high need for our AI/AN living in our area. (3) To follow the “Strategic Options for Modernization of the Indian Health Service and Health Information” and “Strategic Options for Modernization of the Indian Health Service Health Information Technology Roadmap.”
