This month, in partnership with RIDOH and EOHHS, CTC-RI hosted the 2nd Rhode to Equity Conference which brought together the 6 Rhode to Equity teams, state partners, managed care organization staff, community health workers (CHW) and other relevant stakeholders. Approximately 85 people attended the event.
CTC-RI hosted the final wrap-up meeting of our NCQA Behavioral Health (BH) Distinction Year 2 Learning Collaborative. This opportunity was possible through funding from UnitedHealthcare, and the project has supported 14 practices across the 2-year program.
In May, the Community Health Team (CHT) Expansion project, funded by RIDOH, brought together South County Health and East Bay Community Action Program practice teams for a best practice sharing meeting.
With funding from RIDOH, CTC-RI is launching a new seven-series Care Coordination ECHO®--a virtual learning community offered at no cost. This all-teach, all-learn model includes a brief presentation from a subject matter expert followed by a case study to elicit discussion and recommendations.
In April, the new Healthy Tomorrows cohort met to share information about themselves, their agency or practice, and their goals for the 12-month collaborative.
Our monthly Best Practices in Team-Based Care Meeting continues to highlight best practices from across the state. In April, CareLink presented on non-pharmacological interventions for dementia.
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.
