- Understand and document broader contextual factors affecting implementation;
- Evaluate the impact of the emerging strategies; and
- Document and disseminate the emerging strategies.
This funding opportunity will support an organization that has the capacity, infrastructure, and experience to 1) provide technical assistance and capacity development to the demonstration sites (HRSA-22-028) that provide clinical and support services; and 2) communicate and disseminate information about the initiative. You must have capacity, infrastructure, and experience to perform the following activities:
- Assist the demonstration sites in identifying, documenting, and refining the emerging strategies through the use of clinical workflows, roles and responsibilities of personnel, process maps, and swim lane flowcharts;
- Assess individual organizations’ technical needs; manage and provide peer-to-peer technical assistance, coaching, and capacity development to implement, refine, and document their emerging strategies;
- Develop and implement the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Learning Collaborative Model for Achieving Breakthrough Improvement with learning sessions, action periods, and performance measurement to refine the emerging strategies;
- Create forums to facilitate and foster exchange of information between organizations to improve processes and outcomes;
