Communication and Relationship Management Strategies with CAHs for MBQIP

This Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP) Virtual Knowledge Group (VKG) webinar will provide a networking opportunity for state Flex programs to discuss communication and relationship management strategies with critical access hospitals (CAHs) for MBQIP. This event is supported by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) and coordinated by Rural Quality Improvement Technical Assistance (RQITA), a program of Stratis Health.

Learning objectives include:

• Learn how other state Flex programs manage and organize communications with CAHs as it relates to MBQIP, including the use of listservs, site-visits, and in-person and virtual group meetings
• Engage in peer-sharing regarding other approaches to managing CAH relationships to support MBQIP implementation and success  
• Hear updates regarding the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Programs

MBQIP VKG webinars are recorded and made available in the Flex Program Forum (log-in required).

MBQIP VKG webinars are intended to provide a forum for state Flex Program personnel and subcontractors to share MBQIP successes, discuss challenges and brainstorm strategies to assist hospitals toward reporting, participating, improving and excelling across the four quality domains of patient safety, outpatient care, patient engagement, and care transitions. Topics for discussion are determined based on MBQIP Data Reports, technical assistance trends, and requests.
