Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to describe the key factors to be considered when determining the feasibility of establishing a health care collaborative in their states.
This session will provide participants with information and tools needed to determine the feasibility and appropriateness of developing a health care collaborative in their states. Three models will be discussed: the chronic care model, the break-through series model, and the rapid cycle quality improvement model. Participants will evaluate the key factors for considering whether a state health care collaborative is a wise investment of the resources needed to develop and support a collaborative. Examples and lessons learned will be provided by North Carolina , Arkansas , and Washington State concerning their experiences in establishing and maintaining their state health care collaboratives.
