Community Engagement
Develop relationships with trusted local organizations and appropriate community touchpoints.
FOR NPs • PAs • PHARMACISTS
Build your practice beyond the traditional clinic.
Use the IPCN model to extend your clinical expertise into community settings, connect preventive action to qualified care, and support ongoing patient relationships where appropriate.
Your Community. Your Expertise. Powered by IPCN.
PROFESSIONAL-SPECIFIC WORKFLOW
A connected operating pathway.
Each step builds on the one before it — turning local engagement into preventive action, clinical connection, ongoing support, and opportunities to learn from activity over time.
1
Engage
Meet people where they are.
Start through trusted community touchpoints, outreach, local organizations, and everyday settings where people already live and gather.
2
Prevent
Identify needs earlier.
Use preventive wellness activities, appropriate screening opportunities, and immunization-access pathways where authorized to surface potential health needs before they become harder to address.
3
Connect
Link people to the right next step.
Connect participants with appropriately qualified local clinical providers, referrals, and care resources when further evaluation or action is needed.
4
Manage
Support care beyond the encounter.
Help eligible participants stay engaged through care coordination, follow-up, chronic care management, remote monitoring, behavioral health support, and other applicable pathways.
5
Improve
Turn follow-through into better insight.
Use longitudinal activity, completed actions, and follow-up information to understand what is working, where gaps remain, and where additional support may be needed.
Engage locally. Prevent earlier. Connect appropriately. Manage continuously. Improve over time.
BUILD YOUR COMMUNITY. BUILD YOUR PRACTICE.
Turn your clinical expertise into local impact.
You already have the clinical expertise. IPCN provides a model for turning that expertise into a community-centered practice. Whether you are an NP, PA, or pharmacist, the IPCN model starts with the people and relationships in your own community — creating opportunities for preventive health engagement, connecting individuals to appropriate clinical care, and supporting them over time.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE-BUILDING WORKFLOW
Build your practice beyond the traditional clinic.
Start with your community. The IPCN model helps create trusted access points that can connect people to preventive engagement, your clinical expertise, and appropriate ongoing care.

IPCN Connect
IPCN Connect supports the model with technology for tracking the journey, coordinating next steps, and preserving longitudinal context.
Supporting connection, coordination, follow-through, and longitudinal visibility across the entire journey.
Services a professional may independently provide, order, supervise, manage, or bill depend on profession, state law, licensure and scope of practice, payer requirements, credentialing, and applicable clinical arrangements. Participation in IPCN does not independently expand professional scope or billing authority.
THE IPCN MODEL
A framework for building without starting from zero.
IPCN Connect can serve as the operating infrastructure behind a community-based practice. Rather than creating every workflow independently, professionals can use the IPCN model to organize community engagement, preventive care, clinical connections, care-management workflows, follow-up, and longitudinal information.
Preventive Care
Create appropriate wellness, preventive-screening, and immunization-access opportunities within applicable professional scope and program requirements.
Immunization Access
Support vaccination and immunization access only where location, setting, eligibility, licensed professional availability, authorization, and program requirements allow.
Clinical Connection
Connect individuals to appropriately qualified clinical providers — including your own practice when licensure, scope, credentialing, and payer requirements allow.
Ongoing Care
Support eligible patients through applicable care coordination, CCM, RPM, BHI, follow-up, and other care pathways.
IPCN Connect
Follow the care journey across touchpoints, preserve context, document what happens next, and identify unresolved needs.
Practice Growth
Support the goal of building lasting patient relationships around prevention, connection, follow-through, and continuous care within a community-centered practice.
Build something that belongs to your community.
Use your license, experience, and local relationships to create a practice centered on prevention, connection, and continuous care. IPCN provides the model; you build the relationships and clinical practice that serve your community.
