Ryan White 2012 Grantee Meeting

The purpose of this section is to explore the various ways to facilitate QI efforts across a network of providers. Parts A, B, C and D have networks of subcontractors that are funded to provide Ryan White services for diverse categories of services; both clinical and non-clinical. The challenge is to conduct quality improvement activities with these subcontractors and align them with the overall quality management plan of the grantee. NQC expert consultants will be presenting current practices from grantees who will be discussing their successful efforts to conduct network-wide QI activities. Lessons from the in+care Campaign will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

• At the end of this session, participants will understand the importance of quality management in all funded service areas.
• At the end of this session, participants will understand how to integrate Ryan White Legislative requirements in contracts and find the right balance between contract monitoring and quality improvement.
• At the end of this session, participants will have a greater understanding of how a focused national effort such as the in+care campaign can build a focus on retention and Learn from successful practices in monitoring quality improvement by subcontractors.
