Learning Collaborative Description
The National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC) and the National Nurse-Led Care Consortium (NNCC) are hosting a 4-part participatory learning collaborative on growing and sustaining nurse-led care delivery models.
This Learning Collaborative (LC) is designed for any health center that utilizes registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical nurses (LPNs) as leaders or integral members of integrated care teams or who want to start or expand nurse-led care.
The Learning Collaborative will explore:
- The history and current models for nurse-led care;
- Billing and coding for nursing services within integrated care models;
- Program sustainability beyond billing: grant writing and other funding sources; and
- Leveraging program data and using electronic medical records to demonstrate the impact of nursing.
LC participants will hear from experts on each topic and have opportunities to learn from peer organizations.
