The Road to Medical Home:
Which path are you taking?
 

The National Center of Medical Home Initiatives for CSHCN held the annual medical home grantee meeting on Sunday, July 18th at the Chicago Sheraton Towers. During this one-day meeting, participants had the opportunity to network with medical home state, community, and practice teams, learn how to sustain quality improvement initiatives, and establish collaborations with critical partners. Updates form the Medical Home Mentorship Network were provided as well as the opportunity to share lessons learned on how to incentivize practices to increase their medical homeness? and how to sustain/spread medical home initiatives. Agenda

Guest List:
In addition to current medical home grantees, we added to our guest list past medical home grantees and practice participants of the National Medical Home Learning Collaborative. It is our goal to continue to expand our efforts and knowledge base on how states, communities and practices are improving access to medical homes and improving the lives of CYSHCN and their families.
