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 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.
