View Award Description

Health Center Controlled Network - Maine Primary Care Association (MPCA), current recipient of U8645880, proposes to continue the Community Health Center Network of Maine (CHCNet) program, which will include 14 participating health centers (PHC): 13 H80 centers and 1 Look-Alike. MPCA has worked with Maine’s community health centers for 20 years and a Health Center Controlled Network grant recipient for more than 15 years. Building on the existing technological capacity and data analytic capability within CHCNet, MPCA will broaden its efforts to address the variation in need and technological resources that exists between the member health centers and to assist health centers with the evolution of data standards and data driven information into patient care plans. CHCNet’s proposed activities will assist the network and PHCs to strengthen the capacity to transmit medical and care plan information between providers, preparing for value-based care, using artificial intelligence, assist with UDS+, and provide support for data management and analytics. Health centers lead CHCNet’s efforts. MPCA’s Board of Directors oversees performance on the HCCN objectives. Leaders from each PHC communicate priorities and strategies through the CHCNet Advisory Board. The CHCNet Steering Committee, which consists of representatives from four to six PHC, identify the most efficient and effective methods to meet program goals. CHCNet activities will engage PHCs through multiple means. Network-wide trainings will share information, tools, and processes that are applicable regardless of the information systems a PHC uses. MPCA will facilitate small workgroups of PHCs who use similar platforms or digital tools to enable peer learning around the implementation of technological strategies. Individualized technical assistance and work plan development will address the unique challenges a specific PHC may encounter. In support of both network-wide and sub-group trainings and support, MPCA will enlist the assistance of subject matter experts at Health Initiatives Consulting (HIC), Azara HealthCare, and HITEQ. Health Initiatives Consulting, a contractor supporting multiple HCCNs, FQHCs, and other healthcare organizations, provides a broad knowledge of EHRs and other health information technologies. HITEQ is a National Training and Technical Assistance partner (NTTAP). Azara Healthcare is a population health tool offering data driven patient outcome analytics and UDS+ capabilities. The combination of the clinical, operational, and information technology resources within the member centers, the CHCNet MPCA team’s data management and analytics, and technical skills of Health Information Consulting (HIC), Azara Healthcare and HITEQ will enable CHCNet to be successful meeting the objectives of the HCCN cooperative agreement.
