Health centers serving homeless individuals experience unique challenges in meeting clinical quality measures due to the complex needs of the patients they serve.
This community of practice is intended to provide an opportunity to share quality improvement practices with peers and use the expertise in the group to get feedback on current initiatives and generate ideas. Participants will meet for four 60-minute sessions (see dates below).Â
The goal of this community of practice is to be highly interactive, with the expectation that participants will share their experience – both challenges and innovations – to encourage peer exchanges in each session. We ask that you identify one quality improvement process, project, or challenge that you would like feedback on to share with the group throughout this process.
It is our hope that most organizations represented will have the opportunity to share their work. NHCHC will provide office hours between sessions for those who would like support as they prepare to share their work with the group.
