Series Overview
This series introduces practical changes in workflow to help primary care practices:
- Make the best use of EMR functionality
- Improve quality of care
- Prepare to be recognized as a patient-centered medical home
The course is designed for primary care organizations using a full-featured EMR. Participation in the live sessions is limited to organizations located in Idaho or Washington. However, anyone interested in these topics may access the recorded sessions.
Plan & Action Structure
The teleconferences are held on a bi-monthly basis, with an action period between sessions so that participants can:
- Test the change concepts in their own practices, and
- Share results during the next teleconference
