EIIC - Quality Improvement Collaborative for PMHCAs

We Want You! Join the EIIC’s Quality Improvement Collaborative for PMHCAs 
We are excited to launch our quality improvement (QI) collaborative for PMHCA teams involved in ED expansion work. This collaboration will allow you to work alongside other PMHCAs in this space, learn from one another, and receive the necessary tools and resources to apply to your team's expansion efforts.

What is a QI Collaborative?
A QI Collaborative provides a framework and structure for teams and their project work. Collaboratives bring together stakeholders from various groups for a specified period of time to address a specific topic. In this case, our focus is on creating access to mental and behavioral health resources and services in emergency departments. The collaborative will include learning sessions, practical application activities, personalized coaching, guidance on measuring progress, and evaluation to assess the impact of the changes implemented. However, the most significant aspect of this collaborative is that it provides a secure and comfortable environment for participants to ask questions and work together with other teams, both new to the program and returning from Year One. The EIIC is hosting an overview session of the year's collaborative on December 14, from 3 - 4 pm ET. We invite anyone interested to join and learn more about the work. The collaborative is open to all, and we are providing additional resources to teams that request assistance (e.g., funds to support programming efforts). 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Anna.Goldman@UHhospitals.org. We hope you will all take advantage of this opportunity to work together and improve access to mental health services in the emergency department!
