Specifically, this Collaborative will help DC EMA grantees accomplish the following objectives:
- Foster cross-Part alignment, partnership, and collaboration among regional grantees and stakeholders serving the DC metropolitan area, including administrative agents, grantees, subgrantees, and consumers
- Advance the quality improvement infrastructure across the EMA and build a sustainable model moving forward
- Develop a common quality improvement vision across grantees and regional constituencies and generate document buy-in by all participating partners
- Initiate a joint quality improvement project across all participating grantees
- Reduce the data collection burden for quality improvement across grantees by better coordination of performance measurement strategies
- Advance quality management competencies by coordinated joint quality improvement training activities
- Strengthen consumer involvement in quality activities to improve HIV care
Between February 2011 and July 2012, participants will take part in four to five face-to-face learning sessions and maintain continual contact with each other and NQC faculty members through conference calls, listserv discussions, and emails. Participants will have an ongoing opportunity to collaborate with each other to share good ideas and best practices, as well as raise issues and lessons learned.
This Collaborative was initiated with a Vanguard Meeting on January 11, 2011. This meeting served to lay the groundwork for the Collaborative in the months ahead. NQC looks forward to working and growing with these dedicated grantees.
Coming Soon!
