Needs Statement:
Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) are a critical pathway in identifying high-risk patients and developing personalized illness prevention plans, including access to immunizations, medication review and advanced care planning. AWVs exhibit improved outcomes, provide measurable quality improvement, and reduce overall cost of care.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of the activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify areas where an annual wellness visit could improve care such as increased immunization rates, depression screening, fall risk, and other screenings.
• Utilize available tools and resources provided by CommonSpirit Health for development of an annual wellness visit.
• Categorize which annual wellness visit operational tasks can be completed by clinical staff (MA, RN, etc.) and which tasks need to be completed by physician or advance practice provider.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
