Supporting small practices- Lessons for health reform.

Link coming soon.

To understand the needs of small practices in providing the best quality care, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) launched a quality improvement demonstration program for small physician practices serving minority populations. The results of needs assessment were that small practices need and want close and ongoing support, technical assistance and shared resources including: training and development for physicians and non-clinical staff on patient engagement, cultural competence, teamwork, quality improvement, and language needs, tools, templates, information resources, shared services, and networking opportunities.
