Population Health Improvement (PHI) Learning Collaborative 2010

Many of you who work in health plan, provider and employer settings told us that you wanted a live forum where YOU could learn, share best practices and collaborate with peers in the rapidly growing field of population health improvement.

We understand that budgets are tight and that there are few practical resources available for population health improvement professionals. This sparked the birth of Partners in Improvement and a new free Learning Collaborative.

Free Monthly Learning Events

Beginning in January, each month we’ll invite a thought leader to start a conversation on a timely topic, best practice or case study in the prevention, care and management of chronic disease. Each conversation-opening presentation will be followed by 30 to 45 minutes of targeted discussion and Q & A. This will be your chance to share and ask the experts!

These live webinar events are FREE of charge, FREE of commercial content, and are NOT vendor showcases. The only price of admission is your active participation. Your peers can learn from your experience.

Monthly CCP Community Calls

Because each of these events builds on the material in the Chronic Care Professional (CCP) certification program, each learning event will be followed by a half-hour CCP community call open to all who are CCP-certified—or enrolled or planning to enroll in CCP. This open discussion will address questions about the CCP program, exam or recertification.

Join us on the first Friday of the month (excluding holidays) from 10:30 to 11:30 (CST) for the learning event and CCP community call from 11:30 to Noon (CST). A complete schedule of past and upcoming sessions is included below.
