CTC-RI/PCMH Kids Launches “Healthy Tomorrows” Learning Collaborative

RIDOH in partnership with CTC-RI/PCMH Kids successfully applied for a 5-year HRSA “Healthy Tomorrows” grant whose goal is to improve communication and care coordination between the Family Visiting Program (FV) and Pediatric Primary Care Practices (PCMH Kids) with a specific focus on improving well-child care. On March 29 we launched the 1-year pilot learning collaborative with 2 practices (Hasbro Pediatric Primary Care and Providence Community Health Center – Central) and 2 Family Visiting Programs (Meeting Street and Blackstone Valley Community Action Program). Over the next 12 months, teams will develop and test workflows for improving communication and coordination that will help inform future Healthy Tomorrows learning collaborative work. Family consultants are part of the core planning team and learning collaborative and will help to advise on parental concerns and suggestions. The kickoff meeting presentation can be found here.
