The Learning Network

• Provide transformational strategies and coaching support to help home-based primary care practices implement quality improvement principles and demonstrate high-value care.
• Help practices and clinicians connect and build a community in a practice-based learning network so they can together ask and answer important questions that work toward the goal of improving the care they provide and raise the field of home-based primary care.
• Provide complimentary access to and facilitate the use of a quality improvement learning platform, which employs quality indicators appropriate for home-based primary care patients and allows practices to benchmark their performance.

The main focus of the Learning Network is for practices to improve the care provided in home-based medical care, help to create a culture of quality improvement and continuous learning in the field, and to create a community of quality in home-based medical care.

The 8-month Learning Network experience will start with a virtual meeting in June 2022 and conclude with a virtual meeting in January 2023

Before the Learning Network kick-off meeting in June 2022, practices will be asked to conduct guided self-assessments and complete web-based exercises. Teams will complete an initial assessment of their current practice, identify opportunities for improvement, and will work between learning sessions to meet their aims.

Between in-person/virtual meetings, the Learning Network will facilitate a series of videoconference interactive learning sessions, technical assistance, and access to web-based quality improvement tools. 

Practices will work together to pose and collectively answer important health care questions related to the field of home-based primary care and apply their findings to their work in the Learning Network.

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.”
