9. Learning Collaboratives
Advancing from generalized knowledge to intensive coaching
• What is a Learning Collaborative?
• 9- to 12-month programs that are designed for organizations committed to
achieving sustainable change within a specific topic area. Through shared
learning, teams from a variety of organizations work with each other and faculty
to rapidly test and implement changes that lead to lasting improvement. (IHI.org)
• Learning Collaboratives are an approach first used by health centers as far back as
1999 when Dr. Wagner and Dr. Stevens organized the health centers through a
health disparity collaborative.
• There are hundreds of Learning Collaborative initiatives going on across the
county- from Medicare/CMMI practice transformation to state innovation
models.

13. From the Outset: The NP
Residency
April 2016 CHAS embarked on exploring a residency project understanding
the significant impacts a shortage of medical providers is having on CHAS.
The main goal was to create a mid-level residency program to bring more
new graduates to the area and to CHAS.
In the beginning the decision was on whether or not to create a NP or PA
program. After early evaluation it became clear that an NP Residency was
the best option for CHAS.
Initially, the goal was to slot residents in at different clinics and maybe even
start with a single resident.
June of 2016: CHAS applied for and was accepted into a Nurse Practitioner
Residency Learning Collaborative with 15 other FQHC’s from across the
country who all were developing NP Residency programs.
July 2016: It became clear that CHAS wanted to purse a program with 3
residents, but it was unclear where we could find space for the residents
system wide. After additional research and thorough analysis, the leadership
team approved the build out of a new clinic for the NP Residency.
13
14. The intent of the Nurse Practitioner
Residency is a mutually beneficial
program to NP Residents and CHAS
For CHAS the program is structured to meet several of our priorities
Provider Recruiting & Teaching Partnerships
Investments in Training
Increased Patient Access
Improved Clinical Outcomes
There is also a broad impact seen in a commitment to excellence and constant
learning throughout the organization.
Other benefits to CHAS include:
Staff Satisfaction
Improved Recruitment & Retention
We see the main benefits to residents as:
Increased Provider Confidence & Competence
Move past the “Sink or Swim” Phenomenon that many first year NP’s face going
directly into practice
Prepares Residents to work with Vulnerable Populations

During this past year, from September 2016-June 2017, we enrolled 10 health centers into a learning collaborative to implement a post-graduate residency program, and 13 teams to implement or advance a model of team-based care at their clinic.
One of those teams has joined us today, we are joined today by Marcus Riccelli and Cornell Cook from CHAS health center in Spokane, WA. They participated in the post-graduate residency LC and will be launching a NP program this fall. Marcus and Cornell, thanks for joining us. We invited you to share a little bit about your experience in the LC- why did your health center decide to start a residency program, and how did the learning collaborative help you through the process?
Thank you!
We are also joined by Pam Oiler from the University of Wyoming Family Medicine Residency Program. Pam and her team participated in last year’s learning collaborative to implement a team-based care model at their clinic. Pam, Thanks for joining us today. Can you talk about why your center joined the learning collaborative and how did this program support the process of improving your model of care?
Founded in 1994, CHAS has grown steadily from a small Health Care for the Homeless clinic to its current configuration of 12 health center sites serving more than 69,000 patients throughout Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.
CHAS’s target population includes low-income individuals who experience barriers to accessing primary care, such as cost, transportation, homelessness, and insurance status. CHAS is the greater-Spokane community’s largest provider of safety-net primary care.
CHAS Health has been accepted to participate in the Post-Graduate Residency Learning Collaborative, supported by CHC, Inc. and its Weitzman Institute. This Learning Collaborative, part of CHC’s National Cooperative Agreement on Clinical Workforce Development, will help take our center from a planning to an implementation stage in developing a Post-Graduate Residency Program at your health center. Experts will guide us through this process over a 9-month period, beginning in September 2016.
9 month learning collaborative that will aid in taking health centers from planning to implementation stage for NP residency programs.
Timeline for implementing our residency program overlaps well with the timing of the Collaborative
By participating, we hope to achieve program goals at a higher level than we would implementing the program independently.
Networking nationwide with other FQHC’s working to get a program off the ground, gaining technical assistance, training and coaching will help us be successful.
Thank you!
We are also joined by Pam Oiler from the University of Wyoming Family Medicine Residency Program. Pam and her team participated in last year’s learning collaborative to implement a team-based care model at their clinic. Pam, Thanks for joining us today. Can you talk about why your center joined the learning collaborative and how did this program support the process of improving your model of care?
So we’ve just reviewed much of the work that has already been done, and we’re continuing this over the next 12 months and offering new trainings and TA support to health center across the country in these areas.
I’d like to now provide you with information about how your health center can participate in these activities and what you can expect.
We’ll start with the post-graduate residency program. On September 12th, we’ll be offering a new webinar on why YOU should start a post-graduate training program for family and psychiatric nurse practitioners are your health center. This webinar will provide a detailed overview of building the case to start a post-graduate residency program, and you’ll hear from other health centers who started their own program.
The learning collaborative process will begin in September as well. We will be accepting applications to participate in the learning collaborative beginning Sept 1st. The applications can be downloaded from our website and e-mailed directly to us.
If you’re not sure if the learning collaborative is appropriate for your organization, please reach out to use and we’d be happy to have a conversation with you or other senior leaders at your organization, but let me provide a brief over of what you can expect by participating in the LC.
