This presentation will discuss how Humana Healthy Horizons in OH (HHH OH) is actively working to ensure that all our members have a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health. Currently, 36,542 HHH OH adult members and 11,254 child members have a behavioral health diagnosis. Of our child members with a behavioral health diagnosis, 20.59% of them live in rural areas and 21.86% of them live in partially rural areas. We will do a deep dive into how we are addressing the behavioral health needs of our members in rural Ohio. Presenters will highlight key partnerships and collaborations:

  • Addressing quality of care through internal and external trainings
  • Increasing access to care by leveraging data and collaborative partnerships with internal and external stakeholders
  • Removing barriers to healthy living by leveraging collaborative internal and external stakeholders

The Value of a Comprehensive Clinic Intake Process
October 1, 2025 
12:00 p.m.
By Nicole Thorell RN, MSN, FNP-C
Wintergreen

REGISTER HERE

A strong first impression starts at intake—and for Rural Health Clinics, it sets the tone for both patient experience and financial success. This webinar will explore the importance of a comprehensive clinic intake process that goes beyond collecting demographics and insurance information. A well-designed intake can capture quality data, identify care gaps, support regulatory compliance, and streamline workflows that impact providers, staff, and patients alike.
We’ll discuss how an optimized intake process supports value-based care initiatives, improves documentation for HEDIS and other quality measures, and ensures every patient encounter begins with accurate, actionable information. Participants will gain practical strategies to strengthen intake workflows, reduce downstream errors, and align staff roles so that the right information is gathered at the right time.

Regional Stakeholder Meetings 

Stakeholder meetings are held across the state; they are an essential piece of our advocacy, education, and relationship efforts.

Our virtual meetings will bring people together to have a conversation about improved access to care. During a 1.5-hour interactive meeting, participants will rank the feasibility and impact of evidence-based solutions to address access to care. From these meetings, ORHA will identify top priorities for the state to implement to support the Ohio Rural Health Improvement Plan.

Please watch for registration information.
