Since its creation, the IAC Program has grown to include a national virtual network comprised of health centers, health center-controlled networks, and primary care associations working together toward the mutual goal of increasing access to care for MSAWs and their families.
The IAC Program was designed to assist health centers in accurately identifying, registering, and reporting their patients… We know that agricultural workers are being served, but are not always asked the right questions and, therefore, often not identified and reported properly in the UDS. IAC Program members represent a national network of Health Centers, Health Center-Controlled Networks and Primary Care Associations.
Through the IAC Program, which consists of training, small group trainings, and support, NCFH has been able to help health centers modify their current systems and registration processes to demonstrate their effectiveness. As a result, participating health center patient registration teams are implementing the steps necessary to identify and accurately report MSAWs and their families when they register and are participating in Program Action Planning to reach their increase access goals.
The IAC Program has three infrastructure concepts that serve as foundational pillars of the program and are seen as critical to health center success in increasing care for MSAWs, including:
1. Health Center Policies & Procedures,
2. Workforce Development and Training, and
3. Program Outreach.
More information about the IAC Program Pillars is available in the IAC Program Pillar Infographic resource.
Our IAC training is a comprehensive, robust training designed to build staff capacity and maximize your organization’s systems and strategies to achieve your goals related to increasing access to quality health care for agricultural workers and their families. The training strives to achieve four main objectives:
Following the training, NCFH staff provide ongoing support for each participating health center organization and/or PCA and its members through program implementation, data analysis & reporting, and ongoing training through the IAC Learning Collaborative.
