Program Structure

The program has three tracks with varying levels of funding, participation, technical assistance, and support. Below is a summary of each track, which all run 15 months in duration:

APPLIED PROJECT TRACK

The Applied Project track is designed for organizations that have a desire to advance a specific project to improve virtual care delivery for populations who face significant barriers accessing care (e.g., homelessness, limited English proficiency, seniors with low technology literacy, etc.). Organizations will each dedicate small teams (4-6 people) to design, test, and implement solutions that will improve and sustain virtual care delivery. The program will guide teams through a process that strengthens innovative quality improvement skills to support rapid testing and learning. Teams will have access to virtual resources including peer learning events, subject matter experts, and virtual site visits. Not all members of the team are expected to join all program activities, but we do recommend they collaborate to advance the project locally.

•  Details on eligibility and funding opportunities can be found on the state-specific information page.

Clinic Connection TRACK

The Clinic Connection track is designed for organizations who are most interested in engaging with their peers to discuss and solve specific challenges. These organizations may not have the time or staff to dedicate to advancing a specific project, but they are interested in speaking with other organizations on a monthly basis to share best practices, ask for advice, and learn from each other. The specific topics for the discussion will be determined in partnership with the selected organizations, but may include topics like providing team-based care in a virtual world, improving population management, and addressing staff and provider burnout.

LEARNING Hub

The third track is the Learning Hub which is open to all safety net health care organizations or primary care organizations who serve people experiencing homelessness, or individuals affiliated with these types of organizations. Hub members can access online courses, interactive forums for peer learning, and other online resources. Individuals can join this track at any point during this 15-month program. This track does not offer grant funding. There are no additional eligibility criteria for the Learning Hub.
