The Care + Community + Equity (CCE) program hosted a Best Practice Sharing meeting in March with 31 participants attending. Albert Whitaker, American Heart Association (AHA) Community Impact Director, presented on the AHA Initiatives, discussing 2023 deadlines and updates. We also heard great presentations from each of the 7 CCE practices, who discussed their quality improvement plans.
We asked Jon Dooley, MD FAAP, a pediatrician at St. Joseph Health Center - Pediatric Clinic to share his insight after participating in CTC-RI's 12-month learning collaborative on pediatric weight management, funded by Tufts Health Plan. The project aimed to help practices become better equipped to intervene and positively impact children with weight management concerns.
Each year, CTC-RI presents project highlights and accomplishments to the Board of Directors This year the FY23 Accomplishments Report was aligned with our 5-year strategic plan and logic model.
In March, CTC-RI hosted the 2nd Task Force on Primary Care Workforce Development. The meeting has representation from the primary care training colleges and universities that train physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants (e.g., Brown University, University of Rhode Island, Salve Regina College, and Johnson and Wales).
CTC-RI kicked off the asthma quality improvement initiative this month in collaboration with RIDOH and Tufts Health Plan. Practices selected for this initiative include Dr. Concilio in Lincoln and P.R.I.M.A, Inc.
CTC-RI’s March Clinical Strategy Committee meeting shared strategies for building advanced primary care / integrated delivery system by looking at successful models from TX, PA and NY.
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.
