MOQuIN is comprised of 24 Federally Qualified Health Centers or Participating Health Centers (PHCs) located in Missouri with a focus on quality and performance improvement. MOQuIN provides support to PHCs in leveraging health information technology and data to deliver high-quality, culturally competent, equitable, and comprehensive primary health care. MOQuIN supports PHCs in using population health management and data reporting tools to improve the delivery of quality health care services. MOQuIN will implement activities outlined in the Work Plan, focusing on improvements in clinical quality, patient-centered care, and provider/staff well-being. During the next three years, efforts will include: 1) increasing the percentage of PHCs that advance and optimize clinical, financial, and operations data to improve clinical quality, health outcomes, and operations; 2) increase the percentage of PHCs that improve bidirectional interoperability with health care providers and community-based organizations by strengthening care coordination, reducing unnecessary medical testing and data duplication, and implementing more efficient and effective referral and information sharing processes to improve health outcomes and reduce provider burden, 3) increase the percentage of PHCs that submit some or all disaggregated patient level data in their UDS+ reports in each calendar year as required by HRSA, 4) increase the percentage of PHCs that use data to update operational, financial, and clinical processes in health IT systems to prepare for, deliver, participate in, or update value-based care that enhances the patient and provider experience, improves health outcomes, and reduces health disparities, including those who are uninsured, 5) increase the percentage of PHCs that develop or implement assessments and advanced techniques to protect against threats to health center data, 6) increase the percentage of PCHs that use safe, fair, equitable, and informed artificial intelligence practices to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes, and 7) increase the percentage of PHCs that use patient-level data on social risk factors to support patient care plans for coordinated, effective interventions. Collaboration will continue with multiple peer HCCNs to utilize staff expertise, leverage collective strength to influence vendor product development and procurement, as well as sharing model policies and procedures.
