PCMH Lehigh Capital Learning Session 2.24.22
The PCMHs need information on how to follow up once health equity metrics are known to better understand the root causes of disparities and address those disparities. We will present to the PCMHs their role in working with their Regional Accountable Health Councils (RAHCs) as a source of discovering strategic community-wide efforts to improve health outcomes across the state. We will describe to the PCMHs what constitutes as language access and cover the best practices for language access resources.
Agenda:
8:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. – Welcome & Overview – Suzanne Cohen, MPH, Senior Director of Population Health, The Health Federation of Philadelphia
8:45 a.m. to 9:40 a.m. – PCMH & MCO Report Outs– Facilitated by Laura Line, MS, The Health Federation of Philadelphia
Each PCMH will report out on the following:
When you look at your PCMH-related outcome metrics by race, ethnicity, geography, and language, what are the major disparities in outcomes?
How are you understanding the root causes of the disparities and addressing the disparities?
Each MCO will report out on the following:
When you look at your PCMH-related outcome metrics by race, ethnicity, geography, and language, what are the major disparities in outcomes?
How are you working with the PCMHs in your network to close these gaps in disparities based on the root causes?
9:40 a.m. to 10:10 a.m. – MCO-Specific Breakouts on Data Feedback to PCMH Practices
The interactive breakouts with PCMHs and MCOs will build on the Report Outs and explore:
How does the MCO help PCMHs use the MCO’s data feedback reports in a meaningful way to assess their progress and drive improvement, especially in terms of closing gaps in disparities?
What is the best way to display and view the MCO data from the perspective of a PCMH? What’s worked well? What hasn’t worked well?
For PCMHs: How do you use both the MCO and PCMH level data for a complete picture to understand the disparities and close the gaps?
