Improving Cardiac Population Health through Primary Care Redesign

High-performing primary care and cardiology practices across Idaho and Washington are invited to join Qualis Health’s Cardiac Learning & Action Network (LAN): "Improving Cardiac Population Health through Primary Care Redesign."

Let us help you build on your existing initiatives, find synergies across multiple priorities, and take the next step in quality improvement.
 

The Cardiac LAN is unique:

Takes advantage of remote learning and online collaboration—which is less labor-intensive than traditional Collaboratives.

Provides an opportunity for the region’s most technologically advanced practices to establish quality benchmarks—you will be setting the bar for other practices to strive toward.

Creates reporting efficiencies—the same measures that participants report to the Cardiac LAN can be used as submissions for Medicare’s PQRS incentive program.

Employs expert staff with solid experience across all three domains of health IT, payment reform, and clinical quality improvement—our real-world curriculum can be put to work right away.

Uses Medicare funding to cover faculty costs and online events—Qualis Health’s services are provided at no cost to you.
