RI Cardiovascular Disease Learning Collaborative: Best Practice Sharing Meeting

Funded by RIDOH, CTC-RI supported the October kickoff of the RI Cardiovascular Disease Learning Collaborative: Best Practice Sharing Meeting. It was held with participation from the two participating sites, Rhode Island Free Clinic (RIFC) and Clínica Esperanza / Hope Clinic (CEHC). The session highlighted several key programs including a discussion on Unite RI’s coordinated care services, an overview of the WISEWOMAN program's screening and evaluation of social determinants of health, and an informational session on the Community Health Network. Additionally, participants received updates on epidemiological data from contributing practices as well as the latest advancements in electronic health records, data collection efforts, and challenges faced by the practices themselves. We thank our guest speakers: Laudine Koster, Lifespan; Justan Baker, Evaluator and Epidemiologist, RIDOH; Cindy Ariza, MPA, RIDOH WISEWOMAN Program Manager; Adrian Bishop, EHR Consultant, AHP; Jayne Daylor, QI Consultant, and; Erica Hanson, RIDOH Community Health Network Manager.

The next quarterly Learning Collaborative will be on January 29.
