In summer of 2020, The Care Transformation Collaborative of RI (CTC-RI/PCMH Kids) launched a three-phase project funded through UnitedHealthcare and Cares Act Funding. Project goals are:
1) Provide primary care team with best practice sharing opportunities to support effective, safe and efficient telehealth services looking at practice/staff/patient experiences, clinical outcomes, access to care and utilization;
2) Help inform RI health care policy on primary care practice/patient telehealth needs
The project consists of three phases:
Phase 1: Practice Assessment/Patient Engagment Surveys
Phase 2: Telehealth Webinar Series
Phase 3: Learning Collaborative: "Using Technology to Improve Care for Patients with Chronic Conditions"
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.
