use my notes. They don't call it a BS degree for nothing, right? replicate my slideshow. Okay, here we go. So, as you know, our group is a Part of the consortium of the national telehealth resource centers all those beautiful copper colored states. So our program when we were 10 years old started getting this federal grant this HERSA grant to promote telemedicine and telehealth to the five western states. And there's great strength, then, by networking amongst each of those consortiums, each one of those groups and this has worked very successful for other HERSA projects like the tele genetics collaborative, but for us, the telehealth resource centers are the folks who are supporting projects like telehealth and libraries that people who have a lot of experience in incorporating incorporating telehealth technology in rural areas. So there's those resources for you but a couple of the most recent things that we've produced, the Northwest Regional telehealth Resource Center just produced this beautiful one to two hour learning module. That's telehealth for digital navigators. Now, it's interesting that you know, there's so much happening in the world with regards to training and especially in Arizona, I mean, we're groundbreaking this place in Arizona and we're we're really doing national work here in Arizona, with the training of our digital health navigators and preparing people for for the public health emergency ending and for the insurance transition. So I want to share with you a lot of the work people have been doing. Meanwhile, our program are also working with the national consortium to start a digital health navigator repository. So far, this is just a place where I've been dumping stuff, but it will be beautiful one day, and it will be a product of people who are working in the Digital Health Navigator space nationally. And I look forward to helping build that. One of the other really fantastic resources. That is just now coming to Arizona is this tap map, a resource map of telehealth access points. So a map mapping program was developed. And now by interviewing sites with just very minimal information. they've mapped these Northwestern sites, and we've just started getting just getting started in Arizona. But what you can do is I was for instance, looking at a location if I was to travel, how I could get connected to telehealth resources. And this map is already populating other states. But I'm pretty excited. Of course for Arizona, you could actually find if you're looking for Integrative Medicine, if you're looking for an urgent care center, if you're looking for a primary care provider, you can easily through this asset map, locate those things, which is amazing and a great complement to our service provider directory. So if you do want to in whatever state you live, find a tele genetic counselor find someone who's doing tele dermatology. And we get asked this stuff all the time, we've never tell people what to buy, what services to use. But this is a group of of people, over 200 companies that have completed a you know, 30 Page survey on who their clients are, what their business model is all the information that you would need to be sure it's a legitimate company. So to be able to make these really easy to access resource means that of course we're making access to things like neuro nephrology, intelligent attics, much more widely acceptable. So in tele genetics. If you were in Colorado and you were looking for intelligent edit counselor, often in here in Arizona as well, there aren't a lot of them out there. And to have to travel for that consultation as opposed to having testing and even cutting your trips in half is a significant difference for many people. So you can do a search based on where you are what service you're looking for. A little bit more information about yourself and you'll get this great list. So we want to make it easy to connect people to telehealth and obviously I have the best job on the team right to promote telehealth and telemedicine and we continue to do our training programs. We're doing a statewide training program in Nevada and I can't wait. This is like back to plain old vanilla multipoint video conferencing. We have much like Arizona where we have some competitive Health Sciences networks happening in our three state universities. We do have much like Nevada, much to be proud of by having multiple places so that both usr and Las Vegas have gorgeous health science centers and then Carson City of course is the capital of Nevada. So to offer telemedicine telehealth training to health care professionals in those three cities is pretty, pretty bonus and we look forward to doing that in July. And we do a lot of resources and I want you to easily get connected so I'm going to share this as a PDF. After this little bit later I'll will share a an update on telethon libraries. But here's the link to the press release for that project. More entities including Pima County Health Department and Pima County are deploying things like kiosks for people to take their own vitals and take charge of their own health. There were also other programs at the Health Sciences Center that are doing small grants with libraries to do things like community gardens, a lot of different projects. They also participated in our As Community Health Day, and these are the libraries that are their grant awardees, and I always share these slides when I'm out and about because I want people to know that, you know, they can, of course, get connected to a digital navigator anytime, especially from our libraries. And I don't think that's the model we think about but for live for people to go to libraries and librarians to be able to connect someone to a digital navigator from the library, you know, the possibilities go on, with regards to what a great resources is. And the fact is more and more digital navigators and digital health navigators are being trained all the time. In Arizona, the vitalist foundation stepped up and train 75 Digital navigators specifically to help community health centers and others with this insurance transition. So to think about, you know, our community health centers that already have that nice list of things they do for intake, you know, they make sure you're qualified and apply for SNAP, if you qualify their lifeline and food bank, anything while there, ACP is on that list of intake. And now we also need insurance to be on that list as well. So there's so much that we're doing with people who really are stepping up, and are the digital health navigators. We've been working with them here in Arizona for many years. And through this EHRs and the diabetes work that we did, the parameters in the south in the breast cancer education that we did, as well as CHW. So here in Arizona, we have the unique three different groups who are very different. And their their educational acquisition is very different as well, you know, they are very much self reported and have certificate programs. And there are CHW, one and CHW, two certifications, and CHR is actually originated in the Indian Health Service. So I've got that link coming up. But the real game changer here in Arizona is their services are going to be billable. And I sure would love to see that branded as a digital health navigator billing code. And there are other states that already have billing codes. But if we do have a CHWs EHR who has certification, they can claim medic Medicare can claim reimbursement, that's going to be a game changer for diabetes and for a lot of things happening. So there's a lot that we're doing to make this happen. And it's taken a lot of groundwork for a couple of years, but the stars are lining up, which is really great. So if you want more information about this EHRs, the CHWs the promo tours, as Chow has their next conference in June, if that's something that you'd be interested in learning, and they really did, group together form a 501 C three, they have a very formalized process for providing training. And I also wanted to share this beautiful new Aiden link. For information about the Arizona Digital Inclusion network. It's been such a pleasure to network with people and have our own chapter of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance. And here you see the fun group. And many of the people who went from Arizona to the conference, we really should get together and share everything that we learned we went to kind of spread out and all ended up in complimentary presentations based on our experience. And it was really a lot of fun to network. And it's great working here in Arizona with the practitioners with the boots in the mud kind of people. And we're very fortunate here in Arizona. And I'm hoping that Miguel will come and tell us an update. But we're very proud of the fact that we do have a tribal entity that was awarded a digital navigator tribal led core. And that would be the healer River Indian Community and at NDA as well as an adn last week. It's been wonderful to network with Tyler Smith, who's the digital navigator who's really built that program and built up some really amazing resources. And it's doing a fantastic job. And one of the things that I wanted to mention, which brought up my question Lena is I know that at some point, I think Cindy might have put together this form where there's a list of preparing to apply for ACP, you know, for people who can get an email address before they go to the library before they go to ask for help. And if they can put together this pile of documents that they need, because the horror stories that you've heard many people do the sign ups as well, we got everything together. But the proof of participation and snap wasn't on letterhead. Well, you know, to try and prevent those types of things that to be able to, as we do Community Health days, as we do invite people to come sign up. It's also I want to start baiting people earlier than that with this list of the things that you need. Because if they can come to a community health day and they're prepared, we can sign them up. If not, then it's like, well, I'll come back and do it later. When I get all my stuff together. You know, I think that we get a lot of bang for our buck and you know, one page English, one page Spanish, you know, front back and, and have that list in the order that it's asked for on the application along with those helpful hints. You know, if you're if you have to, if you're requesting documents, make sure that that it's it's that it's a qualified document that will be accepted because we want to set people up to be successful. And Tyler's did a great job and it's been great to meet him. The other conference that I had the opportunity Need to attend recently I was so lucky and begged my way in, I might add, the National Tribal telecom Association, there was a whole hallway of federal resources in our HERSA federal grant. I was happy to be there to sing and dance telemedicine telehealth, knowing that I had information that I could have helped anybody with nationally, but it was also wonderful to see how represented our state was, um, Sandeep, of course, participated on a panel as did Nicola my young. And, and Miguel moderated that panel that was really amazing and made me proud. And the thing that really made me proud, which was so striking, is the best thing ever was many of the leaders in tribal telecom are women. There was a panel and it's true. It's I mean, you look at this nationally, and it isn't just a matriarchal thing. It's a super smart thing. I was just so proud to see that. The other thing I wanted to do is share a quick update on telehealth in our library. So Molly and I are taking our show on the road this summer. We love to share what we've done. We've interviewed seven or eight different states, we still network with monthly group of people who do telehealth and libraries who either have a pilot or have done a pilot, there's now like 19 states or something crazy. This is more like a national movement, right? It's something that it's taken a long, hard road to get there. But Mala has has installed connectivity up in Navajo area where we can continue this project. And we've also started conversations with her tahona autumn, who have a Arizona broadband planning grant to expand to 12 locations. So again, there's that link. And then Marla and I, you know, we really obviously want this thing to grow. And we've partnered with NAU, as well as Dr. Kim Shea who's on our team with a cancer grant. And the next location will be in Tuba City where we'll have this set of equipment including a medical grade tent and use it for training use it for screening. And, and really the most important things that are next steps, of course are to although I included this just as an FYI, but it is still really interesting to see. These are all the folks that were awarded those broadband planning grants, and it's the last one here 12 really remote Tohono O'odham sites, which will be really great. Um, so training digital health navigators for the future, you know, we only have two pilot locations, and we really want people to go there and use this stuff. So we really need to be planning events in the library that bring people in, we can show them how to use a blood pressure cuff, we can, we can encourage people in the local community to use these devices, because it's going to be a lot easier to expand this and invest in more than more people use it right, our success is measured in numbers. So I've been working with trying to get a contact with the VA. So we can have people who who want to eliminate pre and post surgery, follow ups or any type of appointment they want in their local library if they're in that geographic area. And that's it. 19 states now have pilot projects. So it really is total national movement.
