As 2023 comes to an end, we at the Patient-Centered Primary Care Home program just wanted to wish all of our practices and other health system partners a happy holiday season and thank you for the ever-impressive persistence, thoughtfulness, and energy that you show to your communities! This past year, we've had a chance to conduct site visits with more than 100 of our PCPCHs all across the state and have seen first-hand how they are advocating for the wellbeing of their patients and staff in innovative ways and providing the best care they can in the face of evolving challenges. |

The commitment that primary care providers and staff have towards their patients never ceases to inspire our team and is one of the many reasons that we love supporting you in this work. We hope that you will continue to leverage us as a resource and teach us new ways of delivering whole-person care!
The Oregon Health Authority Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) Program is hosting a learning collaborative series to help you learn from peer practices how to meet PCPCH Standard 2.C – Patient & Family Involvement in Quality Improvement. Practices that formally engage patients, families, and caregivers in quality improvement efforts improve their ability to be responsive to patient needs and feedback. These sessions will be conducted virtually using Zoom. Time will be reserved during each session to answer your questions. We hope you will join us!
Session 1: PCPCH Measures 2.C.1 and 2.C.2
Friday January 19, 12 -1 pm: In this learning collaborative session, we will hear from staff at Grande Ronde Hospital Clinics – Union and One Community Health Hood River and The Dalles about their processes for creating, recruiting, and retaining their diverse patient and family advisory councils.

The OHA Transformation Center, in partnership with the Oregon Rural Practice-based Research Network, is hosting a Cafe Connect series to support implementation of the CCO Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Social Needs Screening and Referral Incentive Metric. Café Connect events are an opportunity to hear from experts and allow for CCOs, CBOs, and
providers to engage in dialogue to strengthen partnerships and support successful metric implementation. Click here for additional information including session dates (next session is on Tuesday January 23) and topics for each session.
In 2025, the current system-level social-emotional health CCO incentive metric will be replaced by a child-level metric based on behavioral health care services provided to children ages 0-5. In partnership with OHA, the Oregon Pediatric Improvement Partnership (OPIP) will be facilitating sessions to seek input on options for the new metric. The primary care provider input sessions (same content for both sessions) are below. See full details here.
