The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and exacerbated existing weaknesses in Rhode Island's primary care system, like the failure of the fee-for-service payment system, Medicaid reimbursement inadequacies, and the need for greater community-clinical system collaboration and linkages. Weaknesses in our system greatly impact Rhode Islanders' health and well-being.
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.
