Health Care Homes (aka Medical Homes) - Learning Collaborative
A health care home statewide learning collaborative is required by the 2008 Health Reform legislation, Minnesota Statute §256B.0751. This learning collaborative will provide an opportunity for health care homes and state agencies to exchange information and enhance understanding related to quality improvement and best practices.
Development of statewide learning collaborative
The Minnesota Departments of Health and Human Services have selected the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) to lead a statewide health care home learning collaborative. ICSI was awarded the contract to design and initiate a learning collaborative model that is able to accommodate a large number of clinics and clinicians becoming health care homes.
Under this contract ICSI will:
- Convene a health care homes learning collaborative leadership committee comprised of diverse health care community stakeholders to provide oversight for the project.
- Develop an appropriate health care homes learning collaborative curriculum, with emphasis on helping certified clinics/clinicians.
- Design, implement and coordinate the learning collaborative statewide.
- Track the effectiveness of the learning collaborative activities through a comprehensive evaluation plan.
The learning collaborative will be broken into three phases:
- Learning Collaborative Phase I: Preparation for HCH Certification
- Learning Collaborative Phase II: Transforming and Certified Clinics
- Learning Collaborative Phase III: Networking and Recertification
Prior work: research and evaluation of collaborative learning
