OCHIN has received a nearly $3 million grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support a community health workers training program in collaboration with five partners in Oregon.

Since joining the OCHIN network, TrueCare has screened more than 3,600 patients and imported 70,000 past ACEs/Pediatric ACEs and Related Life-events Screeners into Epic. They consider this work to be a critical part of offering comprehensive, connected care.

By talking with patients about their social circumstances, primary care providers are in a stronger position to help by making referrals or connecting their patients with other types of community services and support.

Bay Area Community Health (BACH) in Fremont, California began to screen patients for toxic stress in an effort to provide more holistic care.

COVID-19 has exacerbated public health and economic crises, raising concerns about the unmitigated effects of pandemic-related stress on families and the potential for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to increase.

A new cross-sectional study led by OCHIN explored the utility of community-level data for accurately identifying patient-level social risks by comparing the social deprivation index score for the census tract where a patient lives with patient-level social risk screening data.
