Strategies

Provide continuous, comprehensive, whole person primary care that uses a coordinated team of medical providers across the health care system

Provide a fixed, multi-component set of fall prevention interventions to older adults, usually in community settings, without an individualized risk assessment

Use regulation to extend nurse practitioners’ (NPs’) scope of practice to provide care to the full scope of their training and skills without physician oversight, especially for primary care

Provide employees with child care options at work; care may be provided free of charge, partially subsidized as part of an employee benefit package, or offered at market rates

Provide employees with paid time off for circumstances such as a recent birth or adoption, a parent or spouse with a serious medical condition, or a sick child

Use payments, vouchers, and other incentives to encourage patients to undergo preventive care such as screenings, vaccinations, etc.

Provide interpretation services for patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) in outpatient and inpatient health care settings, following training and certification

Conduct individual assessments that gauge older adults’ risk of falling and develop personalized approaches to help prevent falls

Establish time-limited, subsidized, paid jobs to help individuals with barriers to employment transition to unsubsidized employment
