Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) programs experience unique challenges in meeting clinical quality measures as the social drivers of health (SDOH) are often amplified for the patients they serve. People experiencing homelessness often experience additional barriers in managing their health concerns and differences in what health conditions are a priority for this population, it’s important to consider how health centers are providing necessary care for the people they serve.
In November and December, the National Health Care for the Homeless Council will facilitate a four-session Learning Collaborative for health center staff focused on quality improvement strategies and quality measures for serving unhoused individuals.
This free Learning Collaborative is intended to provide a starting point to identify priorities at your health center and at health centers across the U.S. to support quality improvement. There will be four highly interactive 75-minute sessions, with the expectation that participants will share their experiences — both challenges and innovations — to encourage peer exchanges.
ELIGIBILITY: Applicants must be representatives of a Primary Care Association, Health Center Program grantee, or potential Health Center grantee.* Each organization may have up to three participating representatives.
*Additional organizations may be approved as space allows.
Session Dates:
- Nov. 4: Introduction to the learning collaborative and basics of quality improvement
- Nov. 18: How do we use existing UDS reporting requirements for quality improvement?
- Dec. 2: What quality measures are important for serving people experiencing homelessness?
- Dec. 16: Building out quality improvement systems
