One of HCCI’s key partners, the National Home-Based Primary Care Learning Network, seeks applications for an eight-month-long experiential quality improvement intensive learning collaborative that starts in March. The organization will add up to 10 home-based primary care (HBPC) practices from across the country to join its existing community of 45 practices across 27 states.

The collaborative looks for providers who want to improve care in their HBPC practice, promote a culture of better care and continuous learning in HBPC, and be part of a vanguard movement to create a community of quality and elevate the field.



Here is what past participants have said about the Learning Network, led by Drs. Christine Ritchie and Bruce Leff, supported by the American Academy of Home Care Medicine and HCCI, and funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation and The Centene Foundation:

• Kosta Deligiannidis, MD, Northwell Health: "The Learning Network helped us embed quality improvement processes into our day-to-day practice. It helped our team and our patients."
• YungAh Lee, MD, Yale New Haven Health: “You must join the Learning Network. It is one of the best things our practice ever did. You cannot succeed if you are isolated—join the movement and we are stronger together.”
• Paul Rondestvedt, MD, Prospero Health: "The Learning Network helped our teams identify shared goals and helped us keep our eye on our mission."

For questions, email Naomi Gallopyn from the Learning Network. See the Request for Application here and apply for the collaborative here by Feb. 10.

Start the year off on the right foot by reviewing safety protocols for HBPC providers by taking HCCI’s online course Safety Strategies for Home-Based Primary Care Providers. During house calls, providers face a range of risks, such as pets, travel issues, weather and more. This on-demand course will teach effective strategies to minimize these risks before, during, and after a home visit. The course takes just 15 minutes to complete and is designated for CME credit.
