CTC-RI just launched its third Pharmacy Quality Improvement Initiative following the success of its last, which worked to reduce preventable hospitalizations and emergency department usage. Medical Associates of Rhode Island was among the practices that participated in 2021 to reduce preventable hospitalizations and ED usage through team-based care.
CTC-RI is excited to kick off our first ECHO® learning series on Pediatric Weight Management. Seven practices will be participating in a 12-month learning and action series to improve their approach to managing pediatric weight management challenges using a behavioral health approach. After a methodical selection process, the following practices were selected to participate in this initiative:
Older Adults at Risk for Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression.
Made possible by CTC-RI and in partnership with the RI Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr.
Improving Population Health/Reducing Low-Value Care in Primary Care through Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) or Professional Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (proCGM)
This week, CTC-RI is excited to launch the 5th year of the GLearn Nurse Care Manager (NCM) Core Curriculum Training Program. 22 NCMs and care coordinators from 13 different practices across the state will be participating in the program this year. As intended in the course design, the learners bring a wide range of experience levels to the program.
The mission of CTC-RI is to support the continuing transformation of primary care in Rhode Island as the foundation of an ever-improving integrated, accessible, affordable, and equitable health care system. CTC-RI brings together critical stakeholders to implement, evaluate and spread effective multi-payer models to deliver, pay for and sustain high-quality, comprehensive, accountable primary care.
