This analysis from Capital Link examines the operating models, strategies, and practices of high-performing health centers to better understand the factors that work for and against the co-occurrence of strong clinical performance and financial sustainability.

This brief presentation provides some ideas for tackling small quality improvement tasks that can generate some quick wins or provide helpful insight when considering larger health IT enabled quality improvement projects. Gather your quality improvement team to review and start with one of these small efforts.

This infographic illustrates key findings from Capital Link’s study, sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which sought to identify the hallmarks of success of the highest performing health centers to gain an understanding of their operating models and provide benchmarks for performance improvement.
