In December, around 50 attendees joined our Team-Based Care meeting focusing on safe sleep. Margo Katz, MA, RIDOH Program Manager for Safe Sleep and Substance-Exposed Newborns, provided an overview of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), including common causes, state data, and evidence-based recommendations for safe sleep and related products.
This month's fourth session of our train-the-trainer series for the Demographic Data Collection Pilot, featured presentations from experts Luisa Cardenas and Farah Kader of the New York Academy of Medicine and Westchester County Department of Health.
As we continue to spotlight the importance of health equity in primary care, we recognize the important contributions that our health plans make in advancing and supporting this work. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Rhode Island was recently awarded Health Equity Accreditation by NCQA.
Quality health care has been historically unequal, often depending on a population’s race, culture, religion, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, geography or language. Health equity is a commitment to provide high-level care to all populations and to remove obstacles and disparities in the health care system.
CTC-RI would like to give a special thanks to one of our founding board members who will be departing as our Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) representative.
The mission of the Care Transformation Collaborative of Rhode Island is to lead the transformation of primary care in Rhode Island in the context of an integrated health care system; and to improve the quality of care, the patient experience of care, the affordability of care, and the health of the populations we serve.
