We invite you to join Indian Country ECHO for a Grand Rounds focused on “A Syphilis Patient Panel System that reduces loss to follow up and time-to-treatment: An integrated Clinical and Public Health Response”. In this presentation Dr. James Cowan, Infectious Disease Physician serving at the Northern Navajo Medical Center (NNMC), will share NNMC’s story of how they have improved their ability to track syphilis and complete the loop from testing, diagnosis, staging, follow up, initiation and completion of treatment. The one-hour Grand Rounds session includes an opportunity to engage in a didactic presentation on how to share data in a HIPAA compliant manner to monitor a patient’s testing and treatment history for clinicians inside the facility and those providing outreach services ‘outside the four walls’, gain insight on NNMC’s key findings on how it has positively impacted the proportion of patients who are diagnosed, and receive timely syphilis treatment, become part of a learning community, and ask questions about reducing syphilis transmission in Indigenous healthcare systems. CE will be available.
