This was our 3rd monthly Share & Learn webinar since we pivoted our TA to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now several months into the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an evolving transition into the “new normal” of a hybrid care delivery model: balancing telehealth, in-person, and in-building care. This timely session surfaced early efforts of designed solutions that incorporate and address patients’ needs and concerns at this time. Featuring interviews with: Dr. Laura Wong of UCSF Health, and Brandon Bettencourt and Meagan Mulligan of Chapa-De Indian Health.

Our first planned in a series of monthly Share & Learn webinars. Through small group breakouts, teams learned from one another to share what is working or not working – having access to “just in time” content to support them in testing / operationalizing new approaches and workflows, particularly in this shift to the virtual space amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Timothy Ho and Dr. Jeffrey Brettler presented and answered audience questions about how the Southern California Permanente Medical Group is handling the challenge of continuing to care for patients with chronic conditions, while also managing COVID-19.

In lieu of the in-person Learning Session #1, this virtual session addressed chronic disease management in the context of COVID-19. Dr. Eric Henley from LifeLong Medical Care and Dr. Michael Mulligan from Chapa-De Indian Health facilitated and presented content.

This kickoff webinar to the new cycle of PHASE provided important information about the program goals, structure, expectations and support model. All core team members of PHASE grantees should watch the recording.
