Asthma Ready Communities Clinic/Partner Engagement Tips

  1. Be prepared.  Know your material and how you will present it before you visit a provider(s) or potential community partner(s) to become engaged with our programs. Understand the objectives for the visit encounter. Discuss the objectives of the visit with your colleague (if applicable) prior to the encounter.
  2. Dress professionally as this has a direct impression on your credibility…first impressions are important.  Business casual is acceptable.
  3. Always arrive in advance of your appointment time.  Aim to arrive approximately 15 minutes in advance of your appointment and go over objectives again with your colleague (if applicable).  Running late sets a bad tone, raises doubts by the provider/partner and, should the provider/partner finish the previous appointment early, you are ready to begin.
  4. Do introductions, include pertinent facts such as your credentials and thank the provider/partner for taking out time from their schedule to discuss improved asthma care for their patients.
  5. Be aware that providers/partners are always busy and are carving out time from their schedule to meet with you…so it is essential that you stay on task and maximize the visit.
  6. When presenting the project, be sure to emphasize the benefits to their patients or clients as well as the benefits to the provider/partner.  Provide an overview of their role, your role, and leave reference materials.
  7. Ensure the provider/partner has your contact information and knows how to reach you with any questions they may have after you leave.
  8. Additionally, advise the provider/partner you will follow up with them to see if they have any questions and get a feel for their interest in participating.
  9. When  following up be sure to again highlight benefits to their patients or clients and the types of outreach services/resources available to them, as well as the benefits to the provider/partner, i.e. MOC part 2 and part 4 credits, CME training, or other resources.
  10. Keep on track to avoid wasting their time and thank them for meeting with you and that you hope they will consider participating.
  11. Should a provider/partner ask a question you don’t know the answer to, acknowledge it is a good question, that you will check into it and follow up with them for the answer.
  12. Keeping on task does not necessarily mean being regimented, candor is always appreciated.
  13. Be sure to take notes during the meeting and meet with your colleague to plan next steps. Notes also should be placed in comment sections of ACORN.
  14. Follow up with a thank you email to the provider/partner within 2 days of the meeting and identify one next step for the provider.
