The National Home-Based Primary Care Learning Network is a 8 month-long participatory learning experience aiming to improve the care provided to homebound patients while promoting a culture of better care and continuous learning in home based medical care practices.
Learning Network participants are part of a vanguard movement to create a community of quality in home-based medical care.
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.”
Paul Rondestvedt, MD, Prospero Health: “The Learning Network helped our teams identify shared goals and helped us keep our eye on our mission.”
