The next RHC TA call has been scheduled for Friday, August 19th at 1:00pm EASTERN. The topic will be: “Becoming a Primary Care Medical Home: Why RHCs Should Consider Taking This Next Step?” We are fortunate that our speaker for this call will be Mary Takach, MPH, RN with the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP).
Mary is a program director at the National Academy for State Health Policy where she directs NASHP’s policy research focused on primary care, specifically patient centered medical homes, workforce, and delivery system issues. She is the lead researcher on a Commonwealth Fund multi-year project that is helping states advance medical homes in their Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Programs.
Mary is a well-respected speaker on the move to encourage primary care providers to establish patient-centered medical homes and the RHC community is fortunate to have such a well-regarded speaker for this important event.
RHCs must be a part of our nation’s healthcare delivery system as it moves forward and it is important for RHC staff to know what is behind the PCMH movement and why becoming a PCMH can be beneficial to Clinics, providers and patients. We hope you will join us on the 19th for this informative and educational program.
