Purposeful Concepts
Education YOUR way!
Purposeful Concepts LLC. (PCLLC) educates people of all ages, and from all walks of life. We help to identify community priorities and build programs aligned with best practice curriculum to strengthen families.
Partnering with like-minded community entities, using appropriate data, we deliver methodologies geared towards improved outcomes!
Self-education is necessary as we shift to a personal approach as the primary health advocate. Now is the time to develop your own “decision tree” of what is important to you. A new term to learn more about with your insurance carrier is, “Lifestyle Medicine” and care options. We focus on Youth Services and guide them using decision tree framework methodology with custom programs based off their priorities. Here’s a few to consider:
- understanding overall wellness
- functional vs. conventional medicine
- self-care
- lifestyle modification
- accountability
- responsibilities
- disparities
- quality measurement and improvement
- individual uniqueness and diversity
- SDOH and CHNA methodology (community perspectives)
As we grow collectively in wisdom and lessons-learned, we realize self-care can mean different things to different people and populations. Our intent is to guide members to understand and navigate a path to improve healthcare options, and to efficiently discern the complex ever-changing situations encountered in receiving or delivering health and wellness services.
Although quality, value, and improvement is achieved and measured collectively through data exchanges within the regulatory environment, information comes from each individual. Research shows people look to online sources for easy-to-understand guidance through both traditional and innovative content. Gaining the knowledge and the courage towards responsible and accountable behaviors, as we move from the fifth industrial revolution of digitization into the next socio-technological transformation, involves engagement from each person. We develop and help implement sustainable processes and procedures for individuals, groups of all ages, and facilities & organizations.
As we move closer towards the sixth industrial revolution, one that is anchored in nanotechnology, biotechnology, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence, people may recognize challenges in their ability to comprehend complex processes. Each individual has an opportunity to learn how to reconfigure their lifestyle, realize present environmental and social needs, and look to new ways to consider conversations with care providers, community leaders, educators, and others tasked with building bridges in all demographics.
Purposeful Concepts LLC is at the forefront of regulatory compliance, education, and planning, delivering a range of innovative services tailored to the needs of government agencies and prime contractors. With a focus on person-centered educational support services, community wellness data analysis and strategy (CHNA), and youth and public engagement curriculum and program development (using SDOH metrics).

Purposeful Concepts
Connecting body, mind and soul
What we do: Because we care, we give lots of free resources through our blogs and social media to get you thinking. Purposeful Concepts LLC connects members to multiple resources to increase awareness of the new Data Driven Care Delivery methodology. Healthcare literacy, and caring for oneself or others involves personal decisions. How you develop a corrective wellness plan is quite personal. Determine where you want to start. Are you interested in overall care management or looking for ideas in how to embrace the mind, body or soul to understand the connection to healthier living? Patient and Family Centered Care and wellness outcomes is found through self-discovery. Learning what and how healthcare aligns with government mandates, that are ever-changing, along with where to go for factual information instead of typical news outlets.
How we do it: We provide insight, true stories, and experiences with links to information that are considered best practice, natural, innovative, or upcoming opportunities that align with future mandates and/or expectations. For members, we explain the process and provide links to upcoming changes and/or public comment periods that are targeted specifically within our tiers of membership. Need more?

Long Term Care
“I highly recommend engaging the services of Purposeful Concepts, LLC who assisted us in the navigation of Phase 2 (2017) and Phase 3 (2019) compliance. The New York State Department of Health mentioned the Plan of Correction (POC) we worked together on, that met “…substantial compliance was achieved as of 6/8/2019.”
Barbara Lake’s assistance was key to our success. She has a wealth of knowledge in regulatory measures within multiple care and service areas. She has a skill set related to diverse teams that drive staff to work together, as well as improve community perceptions.”

“Barbara Lake introduced me to the concepts of best practices and compliance with State and Federal Guidelines.
After resisting for some time, I agreed to do a ‘deep dive’ and discovered a better way to practice.
Through embracing new guidelines. I consistently received the highest marks in patient satisfaction and improved reimbursement with better efficiency in care and reduced administrative costs. At the same time, I gained a better quality of life. Barbara’s persistence was a key to making success happen.”
