The East Side Planning Team also announced five other recommendations for the Near East Side:

  • Strengthen existing health care safety net providers.
  • Expand primary care capacity to include at least 20 new providers at existing health centers and in new ones.
  • Organize the system of care into a “hub and spoke” model of service delivery that would ensure comprehensive primary and urgent care services are available in the hub location while primary medical care in the medical home is accessible in spoke locations. The St. John Riverview campus will become the “hub” for the integrated system of care.
  • Implement an emergency facility diversion strategy.  With the help of hospitals and public service advertising, people will be encouraged to call the United Way 2-1-1 to secure a primary care provider rather than go to an emergency room.
  • Create connectivity within the hub and spoke system through technology. Funding will be secured to ensure that all safety net providers have electronic health records and other records to track, manage, and support patient care, including e-prescribing.
