MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The mission of TCCN is to support, educate, and represent non-profit organizations that provide charitable health care services to low-income, uninsured and under-served Tennesseans.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Body of Evidence Our sector was neither forced nor funded to adapt to the new ways of collecting data each member has done what it believes best serves its patients with the resources they have. This regulatory freedom allowed/s our sector to innovate and care for the whole person, but we cannot prove, that FCC's are achieving outstanding outcomes. To move into the future equipped to lead, we need to build a body of evidence. Our Annual and Standards of Care Surveys are now a requirement in 2020. We urge every member to participate in Target BP and get comfortable using AMA/AHA protocols to measure and manage hypertension, then we will add depression screening with a protocol for diabetes to follow. Our new Clinical Advisory Council will guide this work. As we work and report together, over time, TCCN members will demonstrate that their work improves the health and lives of uninsured and underserved Tennesseans. Member Representation on Policy Reform and Advocacy TCCN works to educate and inform state policymakers about the comprehensive primary health care, behavioral health care, oral health care, pharmaceutical, and referral to specialty care needs of the uninsured and underinsured across Tennessee and the charitable healthcare organizations providing those services. Examples of these efforts include the coordination and preparation for Day On The Hill. Day On The Hill gives member organizations the opportunity meet with state House and Senate Representatives on a one on one basis to discuss policy reform and bill representation. Also, TCCN provides up to date information to member organizations about advocacy efforts to increase access to healthcare, how they can get involved, and the current climate of Charitable Health Care in Tennessee. Workforce Development TCCN is a partner in"Strengthening the Workforce of Tennessee’s Charitable Clinics" to improve the essential knowledge and skills of the staff, volunteers and leadership of Tennessee’s charitable clinics, thereby strengthening clinic operations and sustainability, enhancing quality of care, improving healthcare access for vulnerable populations, and reducing health disparities. Education and Resources TCCN provides member organizations access to conferences, webinars and networking event throughout the year. TCCN offers members a Member Resource Area of the website that includes hundreds of resources and documents spanning Clinic Operations, Best Practices, HIPPA Compliance, Advocacy, Online Resources and more. TCCN's events calendar allows all member organizations to add their events to share with the community of charitable care clinics. Membership with TCCN scales based on the member's annual budget and is very affordable based on that criteria. Membership fees can be waived in cases of financial inability to contribute. More meaningful than membership dues, is TCCN's ability to reach and serve those who are reaching and serving low-income, uninsured, under-insured and under-served people living in Tennessee.
