HITEQ Resources & Events

As healthcare becomes more data driven, health centers are aware that they need to build their “organizational muscle” for data analytics, but often may not know where to start. In this webinar the HITEQ Center introduced the Analytics Capability Assessment (ACA), a tool developed by the Center for Care Innovations that allows users to look critically at an organization’s analytics capability across three key domains: people, process, and technology. By determining their level of capability in each of these factors, organizations can develop an individualized roadmap to focus and prioritize capability-building efforts. The tool also helps to demystify some of the jargon that can often alienate non-technical staff. Methods, examples, and tips for deploying the ACA in health center organizations were also shared.

According to HIMSS, this Interoperability Initiatives Environmental Scan was created to provide an image of the current landscape in which interoperable, nationwide health information exchange occurs.

During this e-learning webinar from the Center for Care Innoviations (CCI) learn:
1. How to incorporate remote monitoring into your chronic disease case management efforts.
2. How to effectively engage and activate patients in the achievement of case management goals.
3. How to use community health workers and others to identify and manage high risk chronically ill patients.

HHS has developed materials to help clarify how clinicians can use telemedicine as a tool to expand buprenorphine-based MAT for opioid use disorder treatment.

In this webinar, the HITEQ Center provided a broad overview of NCQA's Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition for 2017, including overall structure, timing, and evidence options that are new to 2017. The new standards focus on continuous practice transformation, flexibility including a new virtual review process, comprehensive integrated care, and increased alignment with existing initiatives. We reviewed what this means for health centers, what is required, and identified tools or processes that health centers can use to support PCMH recognition.
