Community Voice

CIE has a vision for a healthier community where systemic forces no longer define the health and well-being of an individual. We are committed to exposing and actively addressing all forms of inequality.
 
W e  know  that  this is an  important  time to take action and create  opportunities to talk about our experiences with our clients, colleagues, and other CIE partners ,  as well as have difficult conversations to  do better as a community.
  
We  are interested in bringing  the  voice  of our community members  to  lead the changes we would like to see ,  please encourage people to register below .  Community members  will have the opportunity to provide feedback, insight, and experience into how we  can better  support the community.

CIE Impact During COVID-19 Response
While COVID activity has slowed down, the utilization of the CIE platform is still higher than in previous months.

Our  CIE Network now has 85 partners, meeting the fiscal year goal​. In addition, 349 services offer direct referrals in CIE facilitating access to services for thousands of callers.

Partners in CIE receive a personalized utilization report on a monthly basis. To request a report, please connect with the CIE team at  ciepartners@211sandiego.org .
Client Stories During COVID-19
Vinny is 54-year-old. He lives in a six-person household and is the main breadwinner. Vinny lost one of his two jobs due to COVID 19, and the second job cut his hours. He has three minor children in the home, one child suffers from juvenile arthritis and he is finding ways to make ends meet. He has already started to apply for services to help during this time.

On March 27, 2020, Vinny called 2-1-1 calling for food assistance. 2-1-1 completed a Food Nutrition Assessment and referred him to four different services.

Because Vinny opted in to participate in CIE, 2-1-1 was able to send a direct referral to North County Health Services’ Food Distribution program.

A representative from North County Health Services was able to follow-up with Vinny within 3 business days and provided him with information on their food pantries to pick up food.
Ramona is 37-year old and lives in a 5-person household. She currently has one child in the home that is experiencing some behavior issues. She is a patient of San Ysidro Health Center’s (SYHC) Patient Navigation Program. 

A Patient Navigator at SYHC that was currently working with Ramona helped her opt her into CIE on April 8, 2020. Using CIE, she was able to complete a Health Management assessment and refer her to their own Behavioral Health Services program for personal and family counseling. The SYHC Patient Navigator was not only able to look-up referral and track the referral, she was also able to track the enrollment and outcome of the referrals.

SYHC confirmed that on April 21, 2020, the patient attended her appointment via telehealth services and was given information for mobile health services for parenting classes. She also scheduled a future appointment. The patient is aware parenting classes will resume after pandemic and orientation is a telehealth appointment.
