What can the OA Institute do for YOU?
The OA Institute has the expertise and tools to enable your community to improve access to specialty care for the uninsured with a compassionate approach that is both evidence-based and efficient. We can help your community to swiftly and effectively develop a sustainable specialty care volunteer program, customized to leverage existing resources and infrastructure.
The OA program, while scalable and replicable in a “turnkey” fashion as is, could also be merged with components of other existing volunteer models – such as health information technology practices, clinic-based specialist volunteer (or “hub”) models, and alternative referral and case management systems.
Why the OA model works – OA’s core competencies
OA's model is cost-effective and provides safe, compassionate, and high-quality specialty and surgical care to low-income, uninsured people using volunteers, with mitigated risk and liability.
Case management policies and scheduling systems ensure equitable volunteer and hospital utilization Systematic hospital, volunteer, and ancillary provider recruitment, utilization, recognition, and retention strategies. Strong culture of evaluation, ongoing quality improvements, and evidence-based results measurement (including logic models, strategic scorecards, operating plans, and stakeholder surveys)
