Good morning,

I recently took a position as ADON for an FQHC in North Carolina that serves mostly the rural part of the state. The organization is a true Medical Home model with medicine, dental, WIC, and mental health/social services all under one roof.

My previous leadership experience has been within LARGE academic medical centers with solid foundations/processes established, so this is quite a culture shock! I am wondering if anyone else works for this type of organization and would not mind giving me a few pointers. We are in the midst of a HRSA audit and in our TJC window (and I just started last week :D). Many processes are antiquated, but our new CEO is very forward-thinking so I can see that starting to shift. 

I'd love to connect with anyone who is willing!

Hello and congratulations on your new role! I'm a nurse at an FQHC in Eastern NC, and also looking to improve on our processes, staffing ratios, and workflows - specifically those related to the nursing team. My main focus right now is refining our nurse-driven Medicare Annual Wellness Visits. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect and compare notes.
