Virtual Care Collaborative Succeeds in Making Telehealth for Patients More Equitable
CCI launched the Connected Care Accelerator: Equity Collaborative in April 2022 with an urgent mission: To expand safety net clinics' ability to offer video visits with providers, especially because the federal government was considering a change in policy that would halt payments for phone visits.
Although the?Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services later decided to keep paying providers for both phone and video calls, our collaborative's work on expanding telehealth for patients with digital barriers continued to flourish. Participants in the program found the program's coaching and peer learning were especially valuable. "We found a lot of value in hearing the experience of others, what they’re struggling with and how they have tackled it, as well as working with our coach, who really pushes us to think outside the box," said one.

Lessons Learned from 5 Years of Resilient Beginnings
??? Webinar: March 27 at 12pm PT
We invite you to join our upcoming webinar on the lessons learned from five years of Resilient Beginnings !?Together, we'll explore the pervasiveness of trauma and the impact that it has on our health, and how we live, work, and play. For providers, we'll discuss ACEs in pediatric care, how to respond, and how to mitigate the effects of trauma for patients and care teams alike.
We'll be joined by Dr. Dayna Long, medical director of the Resilient Beginnings Network and a pediatrician at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland. She is known for her work in adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) science and the development of the PEARLS tool for ACEs screening in California.
