Celebrating Progress: One Year of CHW Roadmap Journey
Since its inception a year ago, the Community Health Worker (CHW) Roadmap project has been a beacon of collaboration and progress in Rhode Island. Spearheaded by RIDOH and its partners, CTC-RI has supported this initiative that has worked to elevate the role and impact of CHWs across the state.
CTC-RI recently conducted a call for abstracts for its annual conference, "Investing in Primary Care & Health Equity", and the response was fantastic with 22 submissions received for 12 sessions! Submissions ranged from topics on autism, integrating community health workers into primary care settings and new technology for behavioral health.
In April, CTC-RI hosted its asthma quality improvement (QI) initiative learning collaborative meeting focusing on strengthening partnerships with pediatric practices and school nurses.
Join CTC-RI for an insightful session on Best Practices in Team-Based Care, in collaboration with the RI Geriatric Education Center (RIGEC), focusing on chronic pain management for older adults.
CTC-RI is thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of the Demographic Data Collection Pilot Baseline Needs Assessment and train-the-trainer webinar series, with our final planning meeting concluding in May.
At our next Breakfast of Champions meeting, on June 14, CTC-RI will be collaborating with community-based organizations, academic and clinical partners to discuss the adaptation of primary care practices to be more friendly to neurodivergent patients.
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.
